Self-compassion Suggestions
Helpful reminders to be kind to ourselves.
1. Talk to yourself mentally like you would talk to a good friend verbally.
With a friend you would be sympathetic and encouraging. Try to treat
yourself with the same kindness in your internal monologue.
2. Sometimes you can’t change a difficult situation. Acknowledging to
yourself that you find it hard can help. Comforting yourself will help
more than self-criticism.
3. You may not be able to change your circumstances, but you can change
your reactions to them. Being aware of how you feel, acknowledging
but not overly focussing on negative thoughts, may not change your
situation, but may help you manage it better.
4. Self-criticism is counterproductive. It may feel like you are driving
yourself to improve, but in the long term it lowers confidence and
motivation. View your mistakes with kindness; we all make mistakes.
