"To close the gap between compassion and self-compassion, I offer two  tools. The first is a reminder that self-compassion is not the same  thing as self-pity, and nor is it the same thing as making excuses for  yourself. It is well possible to feel self-compassion even while  thinking that you are not moving fast enough. It is perfectly possible  to feel self-compassion even as you notice that you're completely  failing to act as you wish to." -------- Original post: http://mindingourway.com/self-compassion/ "if you want help feeling compassion towards your fellow humans, then maybe try this post": 06 Caring about something larger than yourself Find Nate Soares at http://mindingourway.com Find Gianluca Truda at http://gianlucatruda.com Replacing Guilt is written by Nate Soares and produced, with permission, by Gianluca Truda.
