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. (Source: http://www.scoop.it/t/social-culture/?tag=self+compassion)
