The Power of Self-Compassion

Self-compassion is about treating yourself with kindness, support, and care, just as you would treat a friend in need. This practice involves mindfulness, where you acknowledge your struggles without resistance or avoidance. It also encompasses kindness, responding to yourself with the same care and understanding you would show to others. Lastly, self-compassion involves recognizing the shared human experience, knowing that everyone faces challenges and imperfections. Research shows that self-compassion promotes resilience, motivates positive change, and leads to healthier behaviors such as seeking help when needed.
