Well said Prefab. (((((Carmina))))) Being compassionate towards yourself is a process. It takes time, and practice. Everyone can do it though. Even if just something small. You may not believe yourself, many times at first. You're worth it though.

As I'm writing this I'm realizing there is something I'm not being compassionate with myself about. Self compassion, can be hard. Especially when one's default is to be self-critical. And to believe that criticism. I will keep trying. Some things are harder than others.

Prefab, thanks for bringing up the Kristin Neff videos for Carmina. She also has a website with guided meditations, self compassion exercises, and tips on how to be more self compassionate. http://self-compassion.org/category/...ses/#exercises
