Selfcompassion allows for greater self-acceptance and forgiveness from "summary" of The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook by Kristin Neff,Christopher Germer
Self-compassion is a powerful force that can open the doors to greater self-acceptance and forgiveness. When we practice self-compassion, we are treating ourselves with the same kindness and care that we would offer to a good friend in times of need. This gentle and understanding approach allows us to acknowledge our shortcomings and mistakes without harsh self-criticism.
Self-compassion involves recognizing our shared humanity and understanding that imperfection is a natural part of the human experience. By embracing our own imperfections and vulnerabilities, we can develop a sense of connection with others who are also struggling. This sense of common humanity can help us feel less isolated and more accepting of our own flaws.
When we approach ourselves with self-compassion, we are less likely to get caught up in feelings of shame and self-blame. Instead, we can acknowledge our mistakes with a sense of understanding and forgiveness. This compassionate attitude creates a safe space for us to learn from our errors and grow as individuals.
By practicing self-compassion, we can cultivate a more positive and compassionate relationship with ourselves. This nurturing and supportive attitude can help us build resilience in the face of challenges and setbacks. When we treat ourselves with kindness and understanding, we are better able to bounce back from difficult situations and move forward with greater self-acceptance and forgiveness.
