Approaching self-compassion involves treating oneself with the same kindness and understanding as one would treat a close friend in times of failure or mistake. By reflecting on how we would support a friend in a similar situation, we can develop a template for self-compassion. Shifting from self-criticism to self-support may feel uncomfortable initially, as we are accustomed to a critical internal dialogue. However, changing the tone and content of self-talk can lead to increased self-compassion over time.
