Selfcompassion from "summary" of Drama Free by Nedra Glover Tawwab
Selfcompassion is about treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer to a friend who is struggling. It involves being gentle with yourself when you make mistakes or experience setbacks. Instead of being overly critical or self-critical, selfcompassion encourages you to respond to yourself with empathy and compassion. It is important to recognize that everyone makes mistakes and faces challenges in life. Selfcompassion allows you to acknowledge your humanity and imperfections without judgment or self-blame. By practicing selfcompassion, you can cultivate a sense of inner peace and acceptance, even in the face of difficult circumstances. Selfcompassion involves three key components: self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. Self-kindness means treating yourself with warmth and understanding, rather than harshness or self-criticism. Common humanity reminds you that you are not alone in your struggles and that everyone experiences pain and suffering at some point in their lives. Mindfulness encourages you to be present and aware of your thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed by them. By embracing selfcompassion, you can build resilience and emotional strength. It allows you to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and grace. When you practice selfcompassion, you are better equipped to cope with stress, build healthier relationships, and cultivate a greater sense of well-being.- But the benefits are worth it. By treating yourself with kindness and understanding, you can create a more positive and nurturing relationship with yourself. This, in turn, can lead to greater self-confidence, self-esteem, and overall happiness.
