Self-compassion is a skill and it needs to be practiced. If you don't know the benefits of self-compassion it's hard to commit time or energy in your day for this practice, especially if you are care taking or parenting. Don't worry, take a deep breath, notice your emotions, defuse from your thoughts, give yourself a hug, say a kind word to yourself and you are practicing self-compassion.
This work will pay dividends. I promise - Oh, and buy this book.
