STEP 4: Love Yourself

find compassion for yourself

We all fail. We all make mistakes. How we treat ourselves in the process governs whether we learn from the mistakes or if we allow the mistakes and failings to generate toxicity in our lives that saps our vitality and joy. Kristin Neff, an established researcher on the subject contends that cultivating self-compassion is of higher importance than focusing on self-esteem. We agree.   Self-compassion is the act of treating ourselves kindly in moments of failure. It doesn’t mean that we become full of self-pity; rather it means that we look at ourselves as part of humanity and recognize that it’s OK to make mistakes.

This course is designed to help you discover how you treat yourself and to practice extending warmth, love, and understanding to yourself. You will need the tools gathered in Steps 1 through 3 to continue onto this fourth Step of The Path.
