Compassion for others truly begins with kindness and compassion to ourselves.

For most of us, it’s much easier to offer kindness and care to others than to ourselves. However, when we can periodically pause to turn the warm lens of caring and self-compassion on ourselves, we create powerful moments for renewal.
