Culture tells us that, you know, it's selfish to be self-compassionate.

We should be focused on other people.

We should be sacrificing our needs.

Women get that message particularly strongly, you know.

You shouldn't be focusing on yourself.

You shouldn't give yourself what you need.

Or people are afraid that it's self pity, wallowing and self pity.

Actually, the number one fear is that it's going to undermine my motivation.

I won't change if I'm kind to myself, you know, when in fact it's the exact opposite.

You're more likely to change if you're kind to yourself.

You're more able to accept responsibility because it's safe to do so.

You're more likely to do something about it.

You're more likely to be motivated to, you know, help yourself in some way.

And so, you know, culture has just really gotten it wrong, sadly.

And so that's partly why it's my life's mission to try to clear up these misconceptions about self compassion.

You know, it ain't so

Yes.

So so um so what we find is that basically no matter what culture you're looking at, self compassion is beneficial.

You know, even if the the culture encourages self compassion or discourages it.

those who naturally have more self-compassion have better well-being, you know, mental and physical.
