Are you an individual looking to love yourself a little more, to forgive and be kinder to yourself?

 

Take a moment to recall an act of compassion you’ve done for another person.

Were you able to notice that he/she was suffering? Were you able to feel how difficult his/her experience could be as well as the desire to help him/her in some way? Were you able to offer understanding and kindness to the person instead of judging him/her harshly?

Having compassion for yourself is really no different than having compassion for others. Compassion for Self involves acting the same way towards yourself when you are having a difficult time, fail, or notice something you don’t like about yourself. It means you honour and accept your humanness. Things don't always go your way - there will be frustrations, losses, defeats, mistakes and other unfortunate events in life. This is the human condition, a reality shared by all of us.

The more you open your heart to this reality instead of constantly fighting against it, the more you will be able to feel compassion for yourself and all your fellow humans in the experience of life.
— Dr. Kristen Neff
