The Three Components of Self-Compassion

1. Self-Kindness: Treating yourself with warmth and understanding during difficult times, rather than harsh self-criticism.

2. Common Humanity: Recognizing that suffering and personal inadequacy are part of the shared human experience.

3. Mindfulness: Holding your thoughts and feelings in mindful awareness rather than over-identifying with them.
