Selfcompassion is key to sticking with our habits from "summary" of Better Than Before by Gretchen Rubin
Self-compassion is crucial when it comes to maintaining our habits. It's easy to be hard on ourselves when we slip up or fall off track, but self-compassion allows us to be kind and forgiving to ourselves in these moments. Without self-compassion, we are more likely to give up on our habits altogether when we face challenges or setbacks. When we practice self-compassion, we are better able to pick ourselves up after a slip and get back on track with our habits. Instead of beating ourselves up and dwelling on our mistakes, self-compassion helps us to acknowledge what happened, learn from it, and move forward. This positive mindset enables us to stay committed to our habits in the long run. Self-compassion also plays a role in how we view ourselves and our habits. When we are kind and understanding towards ourselves, we are more likely to believe in our ability to change and improve. This self-belief is essential for making lasting changes to our habits. On the other hand, if we are constantly critical of ourselves, we may start to doubt our capabilities and become less motivated to stick with our habits. Furthermore, self-compassion helps us to see setbacks as a natural part of the habit-building process. Instead of viewing them as failures, we can see them as opportunities for growth and learning. This perspective shift can make a significant difference in our ability to persevere through challenges and continue making progress towards our goals.- Self-compassion is a key ingredient in the recipe for sticking with our habits. By treating ourselves with kindness and understanding, we set ourselves up for success in maintaining our habits over the long term. So next time you face a setback or slip up, remember to be gentle with yourself and practice self-compassion to stay on track with your habits.
