Self-compassion is complicated for me. I understand I must love my self before I can love anyone else. But that love is not simple and easy. Love for myself is complicated. I value certain aspects of who I am and what I bring to the relationships in my life, my work and my creative projects...but I also get stuck in negative thought cycles. I can spiral. I can ignore my own needs and then become irritable and irritating. In other words, I need more self-compassion. It's a practice. There are days I won't have enough compassion for my body, or my health, or my need for rest, or my desire for fun. There are days I will stumble through. But keeping in mind that self-compassion is a practice, I will keep reminding myself to practice it. Hope you enjoy this episode. Be kind to yourself.
