Cultivate self compassion

Self-compassion means taking an attitude of kindness towards the person you now are, with your mixture of faults and virtues.

It has many benefits in daily life including

• People who are compassionate towards themselves have lower levels of depression, anxiety and stress.

• Self-compassionate people feel less negative about the past even though they are more likely to take personal responsibility for what has gone wrong in the past.

How to cultivate it

Self compassion involves: deliberately treating yourself, with your mixture of faults and virtues, with kindness and understanding and accepting that you share your painful experiences and your failings, as well as your virtues, with many millions of others.
