So beautifully written! But very difficult to do. What can I do in a situation where I find that i'm assessed, gauged or looked down upon? In that case scenario, isnt it but natural to feel less of that self compassion for oneself?. I try practising meditation, but find that my mind churns up a lot of negative recordings over and over again, and instead of helping me, it makes me feel worst.
Absolutely beautifully written & explored!
What resonates with me most is thatONLYWHENwe turn our attention to our INNER resources, then can we see clearly and even begin to produce effective measures to confront our limitations.
Worth pondering over again and again!
