Transcript

Self-compassion is the art of treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer a loved one.

Rooted in both mindfulness and psychology,

Self-compassion invites us to embrace our imperfections and see our struggles as part of the shared human experience.

Rather than harshly judging ourselves for perceived failures or weaknesses,

Self-compassion encourages us to meet these moments with gentleness.

It involves three key components,

Self-kindness,

Recognizing our common humanity and mindfulness.

Together these elements foster resilience and emotional well-being.

Buddha's teachings highlight the importance of metta or loving-kindness as a practice that begins with oneself.

When we cultivate self-compassion,

We let go of the inner critic and replace it with an inner ally.

This shift helps us navigate challenges with greater grace and perspective.

Practicing self-compassion can take many forms,

Affirmations,

Journaling or meditations focused on self-love.

It's about creating space for your emotions without judgment and offering yourself the patience and care you truly deserve.

Ultimately,

Self-compassion is a powerful act of self-acceptance.

It reminds us that we are worthy not because we are perfect,

But because we are human.

By befriending ourselves,

We build the foundation for greater peace,

Joy and connection in our lives.

Www.

Mooji.
