- Self-compassion is offering yourself kindness, warmth, encouragement, and strength when you are struggling.
- Self-compassion is different from self-esteem, self-gratification, or letting yourself off the hook. In fact, self-compassion can motivate you to make amends and work harder
- Psychological research defines self-compassion as having three components: Mindfulness, Kindness, and Common Humanity
- Sometimes self-compassion is giving yourself what is hardest to give.
In this meditation you will call upon a compassionate version of you to support you with a challenge. The meditation closes with metta for yourself, others, and our planet.
