Self-Compassion is the practice of treating oneself with kindness, understanding, and warmth during difficult times. It involves self-kindness, recognizing common humanity, and maintaining mindfulness. This dynamic helps us navigate pain and failure without harsh self-criticism, fostering emotional resilience and well-being. Self-compassion emerges from a blend of psychological frameworks, including Kristin Neff's three elements: self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness.
