3 Aspects of Self-Compassion
Self-compassion isn’t just about being “nice” to yourself—it’s a powerful practice that can transform how you relate to challenges, mistakes, and suffering. In this video, we explore Kristin Neff’s 3 aspects of self-compassion:
• Mindfulness – noticing your experience without judgment.
• Self-Kindness – offering yourself the same care you’d give a friend.
• Common Humanity – remembering you’re not alone; struggle is part of being human.
We’ll walk through each of these aspects with a simple, guided exercise you can try anytime you feel overwhelmed or self-critical.
Whether you’re new to self-compassion or looking to deepen your practice, this video will help you bring more gentleness, connection, and presence into your daily life.
When life gets hard, how do you talk to yourself? In this short video, therapist Jackie Pack, LCSW, walks you through a simple self-compassion practice from Dr. Kristin Neff. You can use it any time of day or night. In this video: • Step one: name the hard moment. "This is a moment of suffering." • Step two: remember you're not alone. Struggle is part of being human. • Step three: be kind to yourself, with a hand on your heart and a few gentle words. • How a growth mindset turns "I can't do this" into "I'm still learning." • Why celebrating small wins helps your brain stick with change. Good for anyone who is hard on themselves, or in the middle of a big change.
