Practice selfcompassion and kindness to yourself from "summary" of The Happiness Trap Pocketbook by Dr Russ Harris,Russ Harris,Bev Aisbett

One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to treat yourself with kindness and compassion. This means being understanding and gentle with yourself, especially when you are struggling or feeling overwhelmed. Rather than beating yourself up for your mistakes or shortcomings, try to offer yourself the same compassion and understanding that you would offer to a good friend. When you practice self-compassion, you are acknowledging your own humanity and imperfections. You are recognizing that it is okay to make mistakes and that you are not alone in your struggles. By being kind to yourself, you are creating a supportive and nurturing relationship with yourself, which can help boost your self-esteem and overall well-being. Self-compassion also involves treating yourself with the same level of care and concern that you would offer to someone you love. This means taking the time to prioritize your own needs and well-being, rather than constantly putting yourself last. By prioritizing self-care and self-compassion, you are investing in your own happiness and resilience, which can have a positive impact on all areas of your life. It is important to remember that self-compassion is not about avoiding responsibility or letting yourself off the hook. It is about approaching yourself with kindness and understanding, while also holding yourself accountable for your actions and choices. By practicing self-compassion, you are cultivating a sense of inner strength and resilience that can help you navigate life's challenges with grace and resilience.
