Episode notes
Self Compassion Is An Inside Job
- Self-compassion is an inside job that provides stable self-worth independent of peer approval or achievements.
- It connects to a larger sense of intrinsic human worth so reactions don't hinge on external validation.
Control What Media Hurts You And Relate Kindly
- Monitor and limit media you consume when it causes pain, but primarily practice compassionate relating to that pain.
- Use mindfulness to notice media messages and choose whether to believe or engage with them.
Three Components Make Self Compassion Work
- Self-compassion has three components: loving-kindness, mindfulness, and common humanity.
- Combining awareness, warmth (e.g., soothing touch), and seeing suffering as shared creates loving connected presence.
