Many people have no problem feeling compassion for others they care about. But when it comes to giving themselves compassion, it’s harder to accomplish.
People who don’t practice self-compassion have a tendency to be more egotistical and blame others according to the book Self Compassion: The Power of Being Kind to Yourself.
The book teaches that people who don’t know how to give themselves compassion will judge themselves and often this judgment will be extremely harsh.
They’ll pick themselves apart and then experience shame afterward when they realize they don’t measure up to their expectations.
This habit leads to treating yourself unkindly and beating yourself up verbally.
You might tell yourself things like, “I’m so stupid. I can’t do anything right!” Or, “I’ll never be worthy.”
When you don’t practice self-compassion, you’re more likely to believe those lies you tell yourself. The author teaches that it’s okay to admit that you’re not perfect.
People who practice self-compassion understand the difference between making a mistake and thinking that they’re the mistake.
When you don’t practice self-compassion, you hurt yourself emotionally. You end up creating a laundry list of unkind things that you use against yourself.
You’ll judge your wealth, your physical appearance and your intelligence in a negative light.
The teachings in the book are divided up into five main sections. The first part explains why you want to have self-compassion.
It also covers how to find it and how to stop being unkind to yourself.
The second part of the book details the different parts of what self-compassion is.
It teaches readers how they can learn to treat themselves with the kindness that they deserve.
You’ll also learn how to stop blaming others for truths that belong to you. The third part of the book goes over the benefits of having self-compassion.
You’ll learn how it can make your life better by giving you peace with yourself, helping you to own your truths and freeing you from the negativity you may be saying to yourself.
The slant of this section leans more heavily on your growth as an individual than the previous ones. In the fourth part of the book, you learn about self-compassion when it comes to dealing with others.
You’ll learn how to feel it for people in life. But you’ll also learn how to be kind to yourself in the role of parenting.
Finally, the book teaches in the fifth part what happens to you when you practice a life of self-compassion.
This author wants you to learn to realize why it is you do the things that you do and why you react the way that you do.
You’ll be able to face what’s true about yourself and accept it with responsibility in a way that lets you find happiness and understanding.

habit with coming here.
