4- Developing Self-Compassion
Self-compassion is a profound act of kindness and understanding towards oneself. Mindfulness cultivates self-compassion by encouraging individuals to observe their inner dialogue without judgment. Instead of criticizing themselves for perceived shortcomings, individuals learn to treat themselves with the same kindness they would offer to a dear friend. This practice nurtures a healthy sense of self-worth and fosters a resilient sense of self-esteem.
