What Is Self-Compassion?
Mindful self-compassion (MSC) means acknowledging difficult emotions and thoughts and then treating yourself with kindness and understanding in those difficult times. You deserve the same kindness from others that you would offer them in their times of need. As a good friend, you listen, you are open, and you sympathize with what someone you care about feels.
When we treat ourselves with kindness and compassion that we normally reserve for others instead of ourselves, it brings profound well-being and ease to our everyday lives and relationships.
