Many people are reluctant to practise Self-Compassion.
A common misconception id that it is a form of self pity, selfishness
or an excuse for not pushing yourself
There is a fear that Self-Compassion would undermine motivation
Self compassion actually remembers that everyone suffers,
and doesn’t exaggerate it
Self-compassion is a form of strength that offers resilience,
lessens our sense of separation from others
wants long term health effects, not short term pleasure
Self-Compassion provides us with the safety to admit mistakes
and is actually a kind, sustainable way to motivate ourselves.
Think about what may makes you reluctant to practise Self-Compassion.
Try to get curious about how hard you have been on yourself.
Bring some curiosity and kindness to these thoughts.
