Practice selfacceptance to cultivate compassion from "summary" of Daring Greatly by Brené Brown

In order to cultivate compassion towards others, it is essential to first practice self-acceptance. This means embracing all aspects of ourselves, even the parts that we may not like or feel comfortable with. By accepting our own imperfections and vulnerabilities, we can develop a deeper sense of empathy and understanding for the struggles of others. When we are able to show kindness and compassion towards ourselves, we are better equipped to extend that same compassion to those around us. It is through acknowledging our own humanity and embracing our flaws that we can truly connect with others on a more meaningful level. Self-acceptance is not about being perfect or having it all together; rather, it is about being authentic and vulnerable. It is about recognizing that we are all works in progress and that it is okay to make mistakes and learn from them. By practicing self-acceptance, we can create a safe space for ourselves and others to be vulnerable and open. This vulnerability allows for deeper connections and fosters a sense of understanding and compassion in our relationships. In a world that often values perfection and strength, embracing our imperfections and vulnerabilities can be a radical act of self-love. It is through this act of self-acceptance that we can truly cultivate compassion towards ourselves and others, creating a more empathetic and connected world.
