SELF-COMPASSION

Written By Duane Nelson


2 IDEAS FROM ME

  • Self-compassion is more effective than will-power to transcend the adversity, suffering, and addiction. Recognizing that being human means making mistakes shifts our focus from perfection to acceptance, learning, and growth.

  • Self-compassion reframes self-worth as intrinsic value rather than acheivement-based reducing suffering from comparison.

2 QUOTES FROM SAGES

  • “Self-compassion is an act of self-kindness… mindfulness, and recognizing our common humanity and shared experience of imperfection.”—Kristin Neff

  • "The most beautiful people… have known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out… filled with compassion.”—Elisabeth Kubler-Ross.

1 QUESTION FOR YOU TO EXPLORE

  • How can I treat myself with the same kindness, mindfulness, and understanding that I would offer to someone I deeply care about?

Namaste,

Duane Nelson
