Compassion for Self – The Ripple Effect
Here are some ways that “compassion for self” has a ripple effect in your life:
Learn to treat yourself with compassion and you will approach situations with other people in the same way.
Let go of self-judgment, and you tend to judge others less harshly.
Be kind to yourself and accept the fact that you are human, and you will allow others to be who they are as well.
Deal with your emotions real-time, so you won’t “blow up” over minor issues with others.
Realize that when others share opinions regarding you and how you live, it is about them and not you. Therefore, you can let it go and follow your own path.
And finally, when you love yourself unconditionally, you create space in your heart to love others the same way.
