A big part of self-love and doing self-care is practicing SELF COMPASSION!
🌷 What is it? Self-compassion is being kind to yourself. It means being understanding and supportive even when things don’t go well or the way you planned. Self-compassion is related to mindfulness because we can be more kind to ourselves when we are aware of our thoughts and feelings.
Why does it matter?
Helps us deal with challenges and disappointments
Improves self-esteem and self-worth
Encourages confidence and resiliency
Allows us to accept our mistakes
Inspires gratitude toward ourselves
How can we practice it in our every day life?
💙 Be mindful, pay attention to the present moment. Notice your thoughts and feelings without judging them.
💙Treat yourself as you would treat a good friend. Use encouraging words and be understanding of what your needs are at the moment.
💙Take care of your body and mind. Ask yourself, "How can I support and comfort myself right now?"
💙Change how you react to mistakes. If you didn't do well on a task, rather than criticizing yourself, remind yourself that you did your best and can learn from the experience.
