Compassion as a Path Inward

In this podcast episode, the speaker, Kristen Neff, discusses the concept of self-compassion and its importance in our daily lives. Neff explains that while compassion for others is commonly praised, she is more intrigued by the idea of turning compassion inward. She describes how she first learned about self-compassion during a stressful period in her life and how it changed her perspective. Neff defines self-compassion as treating oneself with kindness, warmth, and support, while also emphasizing the importance of mindfulness and recognizing our common humanity. She highlights that self-compassion isn't self-esteem or self-indulgence, but rather unconditional love and acceptance of our flawed human nature. Neff also explores the role of self-compassion in opening ourselves up to the understanding of our interconnectedness and encourages practical ways to cultivate self-compassion.
