What really is Self- Compassion?
How do these two differ from each other?
How are these two important to humans?
How can humans have these two in a proper and more significant
way?
Self- Care- it has been defined as providing adequate attention to
one's own physical and psysochological wellness. Beyond having
an inspirational goal, engaging in self- care has been described as
an "Ethical Imperative".
-it is a broad term that encompasses just about anything
you do to be good to yourself. It is about being kind to yourself as
you are to others. It's partly about knowing when your resources are
low and stepping back to replenish them rather than letting them all
drain away.
However, not everything that feels good is self-care. Some are
tempted to use unhealthy coping mechanisms like alcohol, drugs,
ciggarette, risk-taking activities, and over-eating. These destructive
activities helps to regulate challenging emotions but the relief is
temporary and usually resulted to something bad and regretful.
Benefits of Self- care

1. BETTER PRODUCTIVITY. When you learn how to say "NO" to


things that over-extend you and start making time for things that
matter more, you slow life down in a wonderful way. This brings
your goals into sharper focus and helps you concentrate on what
you're doing.

2. IMPROVED RESISTANCE TO DISEASE. There are evidences


that most self- care activities activate a person's Parasympathetic
Nervous System (PNS). It means that your body goes into a
restful, rejuvenating mode, helping it to fortify its immune system.
3. BETTER PHYSICAL HEALTH. With better self- care, often
comes fewer colds, cases of flu and upset stomachs . Less stress
and better immune system can surely help a person to feel more
physically able and strong in and out.

4. ENHANCED SELF- ESTEEM. When a person is regularly


carving out time, that's only about being good to yourself and
meeting your own needs, you send a positive message to your
subconscious. Specifically, you treat yourself like you matter and
have an intrinsic value. This can go a long way towards
discouraging negative self-talks and your critical inner voice.
5. INCREASED SELF- KNOWLEDGE. Practicing self- care
requires thinking about what you really love to do. The exercise of
figuring out what makes you feel passionate and inspired can
help you understand yourself a lot better. Sometimes, this can
even spark a change in career or a reprioritization of previously
abandoned hobbies.

6. MORE TO GIVE. When you're good to yourself, you might


think you're being selfish. In truth, self- care gives you the
resources you need to be compassionate to others as well.
Giving a compassion is a bit like filling a bucket, you can't fill
someone else if you don't have enough of your own.
Types of Self- Care
1. SENSORY- it is all about helping how to calm your mind. It
considers all your senses: touch, smell, sound, and sight.
