Deep dives
The Generosity of Self-Compassion
Self-compassion is not selfish; in fact, it is the most generous thing we can do for others. By practicing self-compassion, we have more compassion to offer and improve the quality of our relationships. Additionally, self-compassion helps us care for others without burning out. When we care for others, their pain impacts us, and if we don't show ourselves compassion, we deplete our own resources. However, practicing self-compassion allows us to hold that empathic pain without being overwhelmed, and it positively affects our interactions with others.
