Practicing selfcompassion is important for self-esteem from "summary" of Construcción de la Autoestima by Carlos Casaleiz Linero,Rocio Gómez Carrillo
Self-compassion is a key element in the development of self-esteem. It involves treating oneself with kindness, understanding, and acceptance, just as one would treat a good friend. By practicing self-compassion, individuals can cultivate a sense of worthiness and self-acceptance that forms the foundation of healthy self-esteem. When individuals are able to show themselves compassion in times of struggle or failure, they are less likely to engage in self-criticism or harsh self-judgment. This allows them to approach challenges with a sense of resilience and optimism, rather than feelings of inadequacy or unworthiness. As a result, their self-esteem is more likely to remain stable and positive, even in the face of setbacks. Moreover, self-compassion can help individuals develop a more balanced perspective on their strengths and weaknesses. Instead of focusing solely on their shortcomings, they are able to acknowledge their positive qualities and achievements as well. This balanced view of the self contributes to a more realistic and healthy sense of self-esteem. Additionally, practicing self-compassion can foster a greater sense of connection and empathy towards others. When individuals are able to show themselves kindness and understanding, they are more likely to extend the same compassion to those around them. This can lead to deeper, more fulfilling relationships and a sense of belonging that further supports their self-esteem.- Self-compassion is a powerful tool for building and maintaining healthy self-esteem. By treating oneself with the same care and kindness that one would offer to a loved one, individuals can cultivate a sense of worthiness, resilience, and self-acceptance that forms the bedrock of a positive self-image. Through self-compassion, individuals can nurture a deep and abiding sense of self-esteem that withstands the challenges and adversities of life.
