3 reasons we may struggle to be self-compassionate?
We struggle to be self-compassionate because of the words and beliefs we were taught as we were growing up.
We have been socially conditioned to put others first and that this is more important than caring for ourselves.
Our inner critical voice built a set of negative beliefs within that have been buried in our sub-conscious minds. These repetitive negative thoughts leave less room for loving and kind thoughts, to develop compassionate response to our imperfections.
