Personal Health and Well-Being: Stress Management

Self-Compassion

 Self-Compassion can  be a cornerstone to  our mental health.  


 Consider, "Instead of mercilessly judging and criticizing yourself

  for various inadequacies or shortcomings, self-compassion

means you are kind and understanding when confronted with personal failings

– after all, who ever said you were supposed to be perfect?"
