Practice selfcompassion from "summary" of Start Where You Are by Pema Chödrön

The concept of self-compassion is a crucial aspect of our journey towards self-improvement and personal growth. It involves treating ourselves with the same kindness and understanding that we would offer to a close friend in times of struggle or difficulty. By practicing self-compassion, we learn to acknowledge our own pain and suffering without judgment or criticism. Self-compassion is not about self-pity or self-indulgence; rather, it is about developing a sense of empathy and compassion towards ourselves. It requires us to recognize our own humanity and imperfections, and to embrace ourselves with love and acceptance. When we practice self-compassion, we are better able to navigate life's challenges with grace and resilience. In moments of self-doubt or insecurity, self-compassion can serve as a powerful antidote to negative self-talk and self-criticism. By treating ourselves with gentleness and understanding, we can cultivate a sense of inner peace and emotional well-being. Self-compassion allows us to approach ourselves with kindness and care, fostering a deeper sense of self-love and self-acceptance. Through the practice of self-compassion, we can learn to be more forgiving and compassionate towards ourselves, even in the face of our own mistakes and shortcomings. It enables us to let go of perfectionism and unrealistic expectations, and to embrace our inherent worthiness and value. Self-compassion is a practice of self-care and self-nurturing, allowing us to cultivate a sense of self-compassion and self-acceptance in our daily lives.
