Self-compassion involves acting the same way towards yourself when you are having a difficult time, fail, or notice something you don’t like about yourself.

Instead of just ignoring your pain with a ‘stiff upper lip’ mentality,

you stop to tell yourself, ‘This is really difficult right now,’

how can I comfort and care for myself in this moment?”
