Practice selfcompassion in challenging times from "summary" of Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett,Dave Evans
During challenging times, it is important to remember to be kind to yourself. Self-compassion is about treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer to a friend in need. It is about recognizing that you are human, and that it is okay to struggle and make mistakes. Instead of being hard on yourself, try to show yourself some empathy and compassion. When faced with difficult situations, it is easy to fall into a pattern of self-criticism and negative self-talk. However, this only serves to make the situation worse. By practicing self-compassion, you can break this cycle and begin to treat yourself with the care and understanding that you deserve. This means being gentle with yourself, acknowledging your feelings, and giving yourself permission to feel whatever emotions come up. Self-compassion is not about making excuses for yourself or ignoring your responsibilities. It is about approaching challenges with a sense of kindness and understanding. By showing yourself compassion, you can build resilience and cope with difficult situations more effectively. This can help you to bounce back from setbacks, learn from your experiences, and grow stronger in the process. Remember that self-compassion is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of strength and self-awareness. By treating yourself with kindness and compassion, you can cultivate a sense of self-worth and self-acceptance. This can help you to navigate challenging times with more grace and ease. So, the next time you find yourself in a tough situation, try to practice self-compassion and see how it can make a difference in how you feel and how you respond.
