Self-Compassion: How to Make it Work For You with Dr. Chris Germer
Being Well with Forrest Hanson and Dr. Rick Hanson
Self-Compassion Fuels Growth, Not Complacency
Self-compassion does not lead to self-pity; instead, it provides a broader perspective and reduces rumination. Contrary to the belief that self-compassion encourages self-indulgence, research indicates that individuals with high self-compassion prioritize self-care, such as getting enough sleep and seeking medical attention when necessary. Additionally, self-compassion does not diminish motivation; rather, it fosters higher standards and enhances the drive to achieve those standards through kindness and self-encouragement, rather than through harsh self-criticism. In challenging situations, practicing self-compassion can empower individuals to manage stress more effectively while acknowledging their difficulties.
