Self Compassion

We are often plagued by "bugs" that may appear in all areas of our lives, these "bugs" may be stress, anger, frustration, procrastination, distraction, self-blame, self-hate, or overall dissatisfaction in life.

Now, there is a "remedy" to exterminate these "bugs", and this remedy in mindfulness practice is self-compassion. When we feel compassion for others, we feel kindness towards them, and a desire to help reduce their pain. It is the same when you are compassionate towards yourself. Self-compassion in essence, creates a caring space within you that is non-judgmental - a space that allows you to accept your hurt, fear, or feelings of inadequacy as a part of being human, and allow those experiences with kindness and care.
