7 Affirmations for Self-Compassion
As defined in the American Psychological Association dictionary: Self-compassion: n. a construct derived from Buddhist thought and entailing a noncritical stance toward one’s inadequacies and failures. It has been suggested that if self-criticism can lead to negative emotions, self-compassion may promote well-being by protecting one from the negative emotional implications of one’s perceived failings. It can be challenging to make a mistake and provide self-compassion. Providing self-compassion can be even more strenuous for folks who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, or perfectionism.
