Are you kind enough to yourself? Did you ever notice how you blame yourself and never forgive you? If so, then you need to learn to be compassionate to yourself.
Loving thyself, being kind to thyself, taking care of our own should be natural virtue. But it's not. We learn to blame ourselves for mistakes, for our actions, we learn to self-harm and thus all these make our life miserable. This is why self-compassion is necessary.
The problem is we get unsure, what we are doing wrong because we never taught to be kind to ourselves. But there's no barrier to self-education. You still can practice it at any stage of life and it definitely will improve your life.
Self-compassion makes you more kind towards you, it gives you the understanding to take care of yourself. Thus it automatically shifts our focus from self-blaming and harming.
It makes us more focused on what is going around. Because we learn to not blame ourselves, relate more, find the causes and solutions.
Self-compassion comes with acceptance. You will be more realistic in terms of expectations. Also, you will be more compatible with reality.
It reduces anxiety, stress, and makes a person build their own happiness.
Moreover, self-compassion can improve emotional intelligence. That means you will feel more connected to life and society, a better understanding of what you need to do for yourself and others. Also, it will teach you to better deal with your emotions. You see how it will make a positive impact and can improve your life.
So, make your choice!
