How To Practice Self Compassion

- Self compassion, Self love, self care, self reflection - all of these are wonderful terms that are synonymous with maintaining your personal wellbeing! However, there are times where it can be difficult to take care of ourselves. We tend to blame ourselves for every little mistake, every little thing we don’t know, or even disciplining or punishing ourselves in our everyday lives. But, the greatest kindness and pampering that you might feel you need, may just come from you, out of all people! So here are a few tips on how to practice self compassion.
If you want to learn more about how you may be struggling with self love, we also made a video on the signs you may lack self love: • 10 Signs You Lack Self...

We are so honoured to be able to serve many of you around the world, that we posted 4 videos in the last 24 hours. People say don't post too many content at once, but what if one video at the right time helps the right person?
thank you guys sm for your videos! they’ve really helped me alot with my mental health & i’m finally comfortable with myself as well now!
I’m a huge fan! Thanks for this video!
I finally lost it.
Inqusitormaster just reached 10 million subscribers, and I was furious about being left out because of my shadowban.
I’ve unsubscribed from Inqusitormaster for good, and did the same with ItsFunneh.
I will never, ever forgive UA-cam for doing this to me.
I love that thinking, thank you so much!!! That is such an amazing mindset, and your channel absolutely amazing. Thank you❤❤❤
This one definitely helped me as these last couple of days and even the last couple of weeks have been frustrating for me.

Thank you.
Being kind to myself is something I have really had to learn recently. I was in a cycle of setting high expectations and then being angry and upset at myself for not meeting those expectations. With a chronic condition and what I now know is ADHD I have slowly allowed myself to have flexibility day to day and task to task. I even have a guilt free hour to lay down and rest or nap. These tips are awesome! Thank you. It is so important to be gentle and understanding with ourselves.
That's wonderful that you're working on that. I am too even though I'm in the middle of a depressive episode, and it's hard, but it's nice to know that there is hope and that neither of us are alone 😊
Thanks!💕 Self-compassion, self-love, self-care, and self-reflection are essential for our overall well-being and happiness. It's important to remember that we're only human, and it's okay to make mistakes and not know everything. Instead of blaming ourselves, let's treat ourselves with kindness and understanding. It's amazing how much comfort and care we can provide ourselves when we take the time to practice self-compassion. So let's make self-love a priority and give ourselves the love and attention we deserve! 🌟
Dang, all that money and almost no attention🥲 first reply
Thank you for your extra support for the channel!

I had to forgive myself for past mistakes and others as well because I needed to let go of people that have hurt me especially Christians. Forgiveness was my theme last year but then letting go of friendships that weren't healthy. It has been a relief for me mentally and physically and also spiritually. It was hard but with God's help and truly leaving people behind was a struggle due to not keeping friendships for what I wanted. I've also hurt the people I had to let go of and they weren't the right fit for me. It was a season of suffering I had to go through in order to recuperate from past hurts. I'm in the best place in my life with new friendships and goals through the year and beyond as well.
Sorry you went through that with the particular Christians that hurt you. Just because a handful or however many Christians hurt you doesn't mean all Christians are like that. There are true Christians and there are false Christians. Some Churches are unhealthy and some are not, you just got to keep looking for a good one that genuinely respects people. My belief is that all churches lie and misinform people all the time. So I do not even go anymore. I am going through depression too from just learning I am Autistic and ADHD and I was just at 39 years old. I am now 41 going to be 42 in a month or so. So I got some anger/a lot of anger in me from not being diagnosed till adulthood. And growing up in a very dysfunctional home/family. I want to be happy but I kind of am scared to be happy. Because when I used to feel happy as a kid/teen it would often follow up with being disappointed or abused or something. I hope I can through this stuff.
These are the things that actually I am trying to do right now. I just felt like I need a break from everything and just move on with doing little things which bring peace and calm to my mind, such as reading a book and writing down my thoughts. I wish if I could go for a walk too. I decided to forgive myself for ignoring a duty just for two days. Thank you for your right timing. This video lightened my mind. ❤
I know it’s hard guys. Self love is one of the most difficult things to achieve. But I know you people can do it! You are all very strong, simply for trying your best.
@Peace thanks :)

@@roxie3286 Ofc! Glad I could help 💗
Thank you Psych2Go. These days I’ve been trying to improve, by doing meditation and having a morning routine but I know I don’t like myself very much and I always feel bad about myself and think I don’t deserve compliments.
So thank you for posting this video. It reminded me that doing mistakes is normal and that I shouldn’t blame myself every time, everyday.
Thank you so much.
Forgiving oneself is near impossible, especially being responsible for ruining a life, finding out that you are a terrible parent, and realizing no one wants to be friends with you, and they only want to use you for you for their gain, but could care less if you died. I quit trying years ago with trying to be the prim and proper church going "good guy" I found it was keeping me from being happy, in fact it made my depression worse. I was so tired of being told I was worthless, I do that enough every moment of my life, I don't need a church or it's congregation telling me that too.
Thanks, this video has proven quite helpful! I understood and started practicing some of these self compassion techniques already, yet I learned new aspects and even new concepts I hadn't considered yet. The biggest one I learned so far was finding forgiveness from within, as I've been having to use that on several occasions already to process and resolve repressed emotions and memories that often manifest as intrusive thoughts.
The biggest takeaway from this video was learning of the spacing effect, and how it can be applied to handling a looming deadline better. I remember this particular test I forgot about until the night prior, then outright cracking under the pressure and going fully apathetic after several hours of cramming. If I had simply taken a break or two throughout the night, I probably would have passed the test. At least I know better now.
@leonmagala8332 Been there done that. I’ve hated myself for over a decade and only ended up miserable, depressed and lonely in the end. Ever since I’ve taken on a more positive attitude, given myself self compassion, and learned to forgive myself, my life has drastically changed for the better.
If you want to cancel me for that, then go ahead. My real friends know me better than that. Won’t listen or take the word of some online rando spreading rumors.
Thank you so much for everyone who works on and with this channel! It's been a massive help for me (and many others I'm very sure!) over the past year. It's definitely been a difficult journey for all of us but this channel really has been a great assistance in reminding us we are never alone!
Even if it does not feel like it at all and maybe will not go away completely, self-hatred can be changed as well! Believe in yourself, maybe look into trauma therapy if possible!!! Lots of love
This video is very helpful especially after being diagnosed with mdd and PTSD the other day. Thank you guys!
Bless you- I do hope that you feel peace soon ❤
3 powerful affirmations: I am enough, just as I am. I am lovable. I am good enough❤
I know this will probably not get seen among the thousands of comments, but it would be nice to have a video going over how to deal with touch and intimacy starvation.
Thank you for what you do. Have a lovely day.
Thank you for the last tip. I made a mistake the other day and I still feel horrible about it, but I’ll try to take your advice and tell myself everyone makes mistakes and that I’m only human. Thank you guys for all you do :’)
What did you do...
When life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind- Chester Bennington
I don't know who said this, but it has been rightfully said that if we talked to others the way we talked to ourselves, we would have no one. Every person, including myself, has a set of high expectations for themselves. The problem arises because we often expect more from ourselves than we can realistically achieve then or ever. Nevertheless, we mercilessly push ourselves toward the end goal, disregarding the joyful moments we might experience along the journey if we would just slow down and give it some time. I do not believe and despise the 'everything happens for a reason' reasoning, which is why I never console anything by saying it. But what I do tell others (and often try to tell myself as well) is that you don't have to whip yourself like a metaphorical ringmaster to constantly keep running. It is okay to live life at a slow and steady pace while enjoying everything it has to offer. Keep calm, and accept yourself with all your flaws and strengths. You are stronger than you believe and smarter than you think. 😊❤
Thanks I really needed this. I used to be so deppresed by all the sad thing but my mind is as clear as day right before posting this I had a thought of a tragic moment and I went on a walk to clear my head and it helped
I love your videos! They’ve help me with many MANY things, I just love you and your channel!
Idk what it is about the timing of vids like these... but this one came at just the right time ^_^
I needed to hear this! Thanks!
Yesterday, I made the decision to drop half of my college classes, all past the refund deadline. I’ve been very discouraged and feel like a failure. Thank you for this video. It soothed an aching mind. 😊
Thank you so much for this work!
Thank you so much Psych2Go, God bless you for this great content! ❤️
thank you ❤ these are very kind words
These videos are really calming, I wish they were longer
Thanks so much.
Your voice is full of peace
Going for a walk is the best relaxation.
Im always hard on myself but im trying to be nicer to myself. ❤
Could you make a video about seeking to forgive yourself after going through major depression or other mental health issues impacts choices that then impacts your relationships negatively?
Much needed..thanks alot❤️
Hey Psych2Go! I love your videos so much and have been a long-time watcher/subscriber, and I believe many people (including me) need some more love advice! You have a lot of videos on crushes and love, yet just about none on advice if you like a childhood friend or close friend, so we would love it if you talk about that! Thank you so much for posting these videos!
After experience a break heart, I injured myself for a while by blaming so much.
This video gave me a hint to spend cozy time with myself.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
listening to this set my heart rate at easeee, thank you.
my alternative to walks when it's either too cold or i'm too exhausted, i either go for a drive or sit it my car, usually parked somewhere nice outside, and just have a break :) that's been nice for me
I don’t think self-worth has to be as emotional as love, but that’s of course just a word in the title. The video itself advocates a rational and philosophical approach to this.
Ty so much. I enjoy your channel a lot. This video was so good I watched it twice.
I needed to hear this rn tysm ❤️❤️
Thank you for these tips

This voice is so beautiful and relaxing.
Love your videos. 😀❤️ found this video perfect timing in my life, I’m way too hard on myself.
Love the channel even though I'm too far gone,great content that will hopefully help a lot of people that struggle
Thanks 🤗
Thankyou for this video I am so too hard on myself for things that weren’t my fault this video helps thankyou 😊💕
I needed this right now. pmdd has been killing me. thank you
I've been taking walks for a while and will sometimes go for a nightly cruise along the more "country" part of town. It's relaxing to drive when there's no one else out besides maybe another car on the road and it's even more therapeutic during light rain. I highly suggest it
I absolutely love the animation in this video!
Physical health heals over time
Mental health leaves a lot of scars
And ive been busy with school so, this video really helps me tysm psych2go ❤️
Those compassions I loved to follow it so I do those ways to practice. Especially if you have a crush or girlfriend or you're on relationships.
Yup I am gonna go for a walk ☯️
having take a rest time is the part of the good way to letting your stress goes away.
4 videos! Let's go! :D
I always thought that im a narcissist or a sociopath because of my lack of empathy for others i dont have much or any compassion for others but its probably because i dont show myself compassion either this video helped me seing that i dont lack empathy, its compassion
Also some ppl don' t deserve it, let' s be honest.
i read self comparison and for a moment i was shook
I've been bullied before and it is one of the worst experiences that I've ever had. I was in 7th grade and a kid was pretty rude and then it became so bad I had to think even for suicide but with the help of a psychologist (I think it's the one with help for mental health not madness but depression) my recovery was quick and with daily walk it helped a lot thank you
im sorry you're going that.I know what it feels to be bullied.We'll win the battle,never lose hope.Never give a damn what bullies,because you are smart and beautiful the way you are 🎵Pretty pretty please,if you ever ever feel like you're nothing,You're f*ckin' perfect to me
This is such a help
Thank you for this video :)
Related to every sentence ♡
I loved this video 💛
Perfect timing-
Yesss
This video help me out a lot. How to start? Forgive me myself. He had a lot of meaning that it affected me. The way I was going to life thank you.
The version of you that exists in the future deserves your belief. The version of you that exists right now deserves to be celebrated for all that you do.
Its like u always know when i need help like u can predict my life events
Boy, the introduction describes me perfectly.
Hey whoever reading this, I hope you feel happy, loved, and peace! Share happiness and love with people!
I've been working this with my therapist for a while specially with topic number 6. Some days I feel like I can do everything but some others are difficult to stay on track... Despite the road to mental health is never lineal you should keep on going and eventually you will see improvements even if they are little it's a huge progress. Big hugs to those who are struggling, stay strong.
Love your video❤❤
I need this sometimes
Sometimes we all do.
I recently made a (big) mistake which involves another person and afterward I kept revisiting the moment blaming myself maybe even to the point of hating myself for who I am.
I do regret making that mistake a lot
This is one of the things I have been doing, at least there’s more to do now.
🌷
I really enjoy these animes❤❤
I really love your accent!!!
Amazing videos ❤️❤️
Ty h a no you for this.
Gotta love myself cuz ain’t no one else gonna do it for me 😂
Self-forgiveness isn't a realistic option for me. I hate myself. I don't so much "live" as "exist". A seemingly pointless, Pink Floyd "Time" sort of existence, running to catch up with the sun only to have it sneak up behind me again. And I don't believe I deserve better.
Still, that's at least four other things I can do. It's worth a fair try. Who knows? Maybe baby steps will be good enough for now.
Hey. How are you? I hope you feel better
@@daughterofgorgias7235Hi! I appreciate you checking in. :)
I will resist the urge to give you the whole info dump and just say that yes, I am doing better... but I am still fighting all of that. Turns out self-hatred is something of a habit. I just have to keep walking slowly towards the light rather than the darkness.
Once you're living on your own there's no one to stop you from giving yourself a reward without having done the work.
Avoid being with toxic people

I go for a morning walk due to paucity of time.During evening hours I spare time for cycling.Sundays are devoted to trips on motorbike and evening for Zumba and Pilates
Recently photography is the hobby.Once a month I go for a body massage and cupping so that the blood vessels gets activated.Gifting myself with small essential objects.
Eating 7 course clean meal with coconut water twice.
On holidays complete chilling by the pool side diving in clear blue swimming pool.
Reminding myself at the end of the day that I need to have compassion for self and forgive myself.
In the exact moment I'm about to self destruct...
This video makes me hungry
But like how do I forgive myself?
I am always self-critical. And I insist that on perfection in everything I do. I do this so much that, if I know that I can't do it right, I don't do it at all. And I have never been able to forgive myself for anything. Thank you for this video. I don't know if I can do any of these things, but now I know what to try for. Perfection in everything was insisted on by my family. They didn't know what pressure they were putting on me, as they were raised the same way. There was even a "correct" way to vacuum the carpet in the house. It was very hard to do anything the right way when growing up. But, gradually, Mom stopped insisting on my vacuuming the "right" way and just be glad it was done. She was trying to move away from her upbringing and be satisfied with the things that got done. Her Mom, my Grandma, was very strict. And my Mom, being a single Mom after Dad died, worked all day. She taught me how to start dinner and showed me all the skills I would need when I moved away. She did her best. When she was older, she was very self-critical of how she raised myself and my brother. She blamed a lot of our disfunciton on herself. It was not her fault. She was my best friend and we fought only a bit when I was in high school. When I became disabled, she was always in my corner. She wanted to 'fix' me, as she was a nurse and she wanted to help me in any way she could. It was hard on her, watching me becoming severely depressed. She wanted to help me, but there was nothing anyone could do. I told her just to hug me and keep loving me. Now she is gone and my best friend is no longer near me. I miss her greatly. Now, as a married woman, I hide most of the depression that I feel. I try not to let others know what I am dealing with. I recently, stupidly, did some cutting. I shouldn't have, but had lost my will power at that time. And I blame me for not being strong enough to resist. I wonder if I have learned anything. Oh, well. I will just keep trying. To all of you out there, just do your best. If your best is not 'good' enough that day, that is okay. Your best is your best right at that moment. Well, at least I have learned that.
I wish you all the best ♥️
@@oxymoron7 Thank you, I pray the same for you.
