📌 Key takeaways:

the way you experience hardship shape your on-going relationship with yourself
how you handle your hardship is an important skill
self compassion is the most important skill in life
self compassion starts with the way you treat your body
if you struggle with body image, weight, and food - it mirrors your internal relationship with yourself
practice #1: physical touch to your heart & womb to self sooth and regulate the nervous system
see yourself like a baby, and take good care of yourself
when the body feels safe, it stops using other self-harming coping mechanism to cope
your physical weight = mental and emotional weight
don’t criticise yourself when you are going through a hard time - this will lift off so much hardship
self compassion is a learned skill not given trait
self compassion practice is asking: what would self compassion do? what would self compassion say? what would self compassion look like?
you go into analysing mode when you feel out of control
when you can connect with your heart, that is where self compassion pours in
you can use self compassion to transform any difficult emotion in your life
