Practice selfcompassion and treat yourself with kindness from "summary" of The how of Happiness by Sonja Lyubomirsky
One of the keys to increasing happiness is to practice self-compassion and treat yourself with kindness. This concept involves being gentle and understanding towards yourself, especially in times of difficulty or failure. It means showing yourself the same level of care and compassion that you would offer to a friend in need. When you practice self-compassion, you are able to acknowledge your mistakes and shortcomings without harsh self-judgment. Instead of engaging in negative self-talk or self-criticism, you are able to approach yourself with warmth and understanding. This can help you develop a more positive and nurturing relationship with yourself, which in turn can lead to higher levels of happiness and well-being. Treating yourself with kindness also involves taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental needs. This means engaging in self-care activities that nourish and rejuvenate you, such as getting enough rest, eating well, exercising, and engaging in activities that bring you joy. It also means being mindful of your thoughts and feelings, and treating yourself with the same level of respect and compassion that you would offer to others.- You can cultivate a greater sense of self-worth and self-acceptance. This can help you build resilience in the face of challenges and setbacks, and can enhance your overall well-being and happiness. So remember to be kind to yourself, and treat yourself with the care and compassion that you deserve.
