31. Three different ways to practice self-compassion

I never have heard a person say "I'm concerned about how kind,
caring, and compassionate I'm with myself."


Most of us may go into a judgmental mode when making a mistake,
saying the wrong thing, or looking back at actions we took in the
past. Sometimes, we may even hold onto beliefs that "by being
tough with ourselves, we're keeping ourselves in check so we
don't make the same mistakes again." We do have tricky minds!


Here is what I can tell you: the science of self-compassion has
shown us that "kindness takes us far."


In this conversation with Jonny Say, part 2, he shares three
different ways to practice self-compassion: (1) relying on
empathic and validating statements, (2) noticing the common
humanity of our vulnerable moments, and (3) self-correcting our
actions.


You will also hear me sharing a recent struggle I encountered and
how self-compassion practices can be handy in those moments!
