More on self-empathy:

The self-empathy process is a way of deepening our connection to ourselves. It's a mindfulness and emotional self-care practice that helps us to come back into Presence, to welcome what’s alive in us underneath our triggers, judgments and initial reactions. It enables us to shift from confusion, overwhelm and inner conflict to greater clarity and connection to our inner resources, so that we can more consciously respond to life.

Self-empathy is one of the three major components of NonViolent Communication: it restores the inner spaciousness we need to listen to others empathically, and the groundedness to express our truth effectively. It's also a great way to savor our accomplishments and realizations, to recognize and celebrate what deeply matters to us!
