DOs AND DON'Ts OF SELF-COMPASSION


Do treat yourself and everyone else with respect.
Don’t ridicule yourself or anyone.

Do listen to your heart and choose in your short and long-term best interests.
Don’t ignore inner longings.

Do appreciate your uniqueness and that of others.
Don’t compare people.

Do appreciate deeper commonalities with all people.
Don’t look to exclude yourself or others from essential humanity.

Do listen to others.
Don’t interrupt.

Do reflect.
Don’t react.

Do talk.
Don’t yell, scream, or lecture.
