Quotes To Inspire Self-Compassion During Hard Times
Self-compassion is about developing a kinder—lenient mindset towards oneself. Beating ourselves up when life doesn’t go as planned will do us no good. For that reason, let’s make an effort to correct ourselves every time we believe that we’re a bad person—as we often do; and instead, we can change it to ‘I did something bad, but I’m not a bad person.’ I believe just that little switch can help your mind significantly.
As Shad Helmstetter indicates in his book “what to say when you talk to yourself.” The brain simply believes what you tell it most. And what you tell it about you, it will create. It has no choice.
Telling yourself that you’re terrible hundreds of times a day won’t fix your problems or make you feel any better.
Instead, notice the negatives self-talk and how they’re serving you. For the most part, not very much.
The best way to eliminate negative and unhealthy patterns of thought and behavior is to ensure that they are never programmed in the first place.

It is never too late. Even if you are going to die tomorrow, keep yourself straight and clear and be a happy human being today. ~ Lama Yeshe
Even an animal, if you show genuine affection, gradually trust develops…If you always showing bad face and beating, how can you develop friendship? ~ Dalai Lama
