Practice Self-compassion

Listen Later

Self-compassion is treating yourself with the same kindness, care, and understanding that you would offer to a close friend.

 

Self-compassion impacts emotional wellness. Emotional wellness is all about understanding, managing, and navigating our feelings in a healthy way. Self-compassion plays a huge role in this by creating a space where we can process our emotions without adding layers of guilt or shame.

 

Practical Ways to Practice Self-Compassion:

  1. Start with Self-Talk:
    • Begin noticing how you talk to yourself, especially when things go wrong. Would you talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself? Replace harsh judgments with encouraging words.
      • Take Breaks When You’re Struggling:
      • When you’re feeling overwhelmed, pause and remind yourself that it’s okay to step back. Give yourself permission to rest and recharge without feeling guilty.
        • Write Yourself a Compassionate Letter:
        • Whenever you’re feeling particularly down or self-critical, write yourself a letter from the perspective of a close friend. This can help you see your situation from a more compassionate lens.
          • Practice Mindfulness Meditation:
          • Mindfulness helps you stay present with your emotions without over-identifying with them. Try incorporating mindfulness practices, like deep breathing or meditation, into your routine.
