 “Self-Compassion is composed of three main elements - self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness.
Self-kindness is being warm towards oneself when encountering pain and personal shortcomings, rather than ignoring them or hurting oneself with self-criticism. Common humanity is recognizing that suffering and personal failure is part of the shared human experience rather than isolating. Mindfulness requires taking a balanced approach to one's negative emotions so that feelings are neither suppressed nor exaggerated.” - Kristin Neff
