When you make a mistake or say something wrong, it's easy to be hard on yourself. With self-compassion(自我同情), you can be a friend to yourself instead.
What is self-compassion?
Compassion is when you see someone suffering and want to help. Self-compassion is giving yourself that care and kindness. Sometimes being kind to yourself can help when you mess up or when you're struggling to do something new. Dr Kristin Neff, author of several books on the subject, lists three elements of self-compassion: being kind to yourself, understanding that everyone struggles sometimes and noticing your feelings.
Why is self-compassion important?
Self-compassion can reduce stress, build confidence and ease pain. When you're kind to yourself, you're able to think more clearly and see a way forward. Suzy Reading is a psychologist who says self-compassion helps you be your own friend and feel at peace. Self-compassion enables you to forgive yourself when you make mistakes, helping you learn and grow. Just as you would be kind to a friend who made a mistake, self-compassion helps you to be a friend to yourself.
How to practise self-compassion
There are many ways to be kind to yourself. Remind yourself that everyone messes up or struggles sometimes. Notice how you're speaking to yourself. Suzy suggests talking to yourself using kind words. “Try calling yourself a pet name and see how that helps you choose softer words,” she says. “This is important when you are having a hard time. Kind words help us find solutions and lighten our load(负担).” Try to find out the feelings you're experiencing. When you feel upset, you might feel angry, disappointed, sad or anxious. Name the feeling and tell yourself it's OK for you to feel this way. Think about how to take care of yourself physically too. Give yourself a hug, go for a walk, take a few slow and deep breaths or draw a picture.
