Self-Indulgence or Self-Compassion?

Self-compassion is also very different from self-indulgence. Many people say they are reluctant to be self-compassionate because they’re afraid they would let themselves get away with anything.  “I’m stressed out today so to be kind to myself I’ll just watch TV all day and eat a quart of ice cream. This, however, is self-indulgence rather than self-compassion.

Self-compassion actually heals.
