selfempathy
Self-empathy is the practice of extending compassion, understanding, and kindness to oneself, similar to how one would treat a friend in need. It involves recognizing one's own emotions, needs, and struggles without judgment, and responding with a supportive and caring attitude. This approach encourages acknowledging difficult feelings such as sadness, frustration, or anxiety, rather than suppressing or criticizing them.
The core of self-empathy lies in validating personal experiences and treating oneself with the same gentleness
Developing self-empathy can contribute to greater emotional resilience, improved mental well-being, and a more positive self-image.
