Self-Compassion? Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Self-Compassion?

Rating: 5.0


What is your response
at the word ‚self-compassion‘?

Was your response
positive or negative?
Journey in self-compassion
is an interesting one.

We feel every emotion
from guilt to comfort.

I have wondered if
self-compassion was
self-indulgent.

But I know now
self-compassion
is necessary
for a healthy mental life.

Self-compassion is giving
ourselves the kindness
and care we would give to another.

amen, tony. and it's essential to carrying out the command to love others as we love ourselves. which for me includes coming to terms with our own faults and sins, recognizing them in ourselves, which allows us to understand and let go of these same things in others. -glen

Self-compassion is giving ourselves the kindness and care we would give to another. Only a person who knows what is compassion can bestow compassion on others......10
