Practice selfcompassion and self-love from "summary" of How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie
One of the most important things we can do for ourselves is to show compassion and love towards ourselves. This means treating ourselves with the same kindness and understanding that we would extend to a dear friend. We often find it easy to be forgiving and supportive towards others, but when it comes to ourselves, we can be our own harshest critics. It is essential to break this cycle of self-criticism and replace it with self-compassion. Self-compassion involves recognizing our own humanity and accepting ourselves with all our flaws and imperfections. It means understanding that we are not perfect and that it is okay to make mistakes. When we practice self-compassion, we are able to treat ourselves with gentleness and care, even when we fall short of our own expectations. This can help us build resilience in the face of challenges and setbacks, as we are able to approach ourselves with kindness and understanding. Self-love is another crucial aspect of caring for ourselves. It involves nurturing a deep sense of appreciation and respect for who we are as individuals. When we cultivate self-love, we are able to recognize our own worth and value, independent of external validation or approval. This can help us develop a strong sense of self-esteem and confidence, as we learn to affirm ourselves and our abilities.- We can create a foundation of emotional well-being and self-care. This allows us to navigate life's ups and downs with greater resilience and inner strength. When we are kind and loving towards ourselves, we are better equipped to handle stress and worry, as we have a solid sense of self-support to draw upon. Ultimately, by treating ourselves with compassion and love, we can foster a deep sense of inner peace and contentment that radiates outward into our daily lives.
