What Does It Mean to Be Self Compassionate?
Through our thoughts and our behavior we treat ourselves with the same care and kindness as we would someone we love and care for.
Self Compassion involves listening to our needs, rather than primarily focusing on what others want us to do or what the outside world dictates.
