Radhika MundraThe Best Stress Relief: Self-Compassion
– #1000SpeakForCompassion
| “If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.” ~ Jack Kornfield |
Sometimes your bottled up anger pairs up with the ongoing stress or the other way round and the situation it creates is sure as hell not pretty.
People say when life throws lemons at you, make lemonade, pass them on, blah blah blah.
I say, when you’re in deep trouble, the only way to get out of there is to deal with it. The stress will keep triggering you every now and then putting you in situations you wouldn’t wish on your enemy.
This mental trauma isn’t something you are being especially served with, we all have it on our plate, in equal proportions, divided throughout our life.
Sometimes it’s making your life miserable and sometimes mine. That doesn’t make it my right to complain why is it happening to me and why is everyone around me happy or why is anybody else not burdened with the same pain.
Denial is never an option even if you’re at war with yourself. To win that war, the only thing you can do is to own up the responsibility and deal with it. You have to get over the thought of making yourself suffer any kind of punishment. You are the only one who can make peace with your inner turmoil. Be compassionate. And compassion starts at home. If you don’t forgive yourself, you’ll never be able to forgive anyone else.

Life makes us suffer at times if we cruise through such moments and look forward to the light the day brings, that darkness that has crippled our mind can be fought and it can be defeated.
So, are you brave enough to forgive yourself?

We humans love to hurt ourselves, don't we. We self-talk ourselves with shame and with criticism. You are right – kindness and forgiveness begin at home, with ourselves.
It does take courage to be kind and forgiving to oneself – but so worth the effort!
Thanks so much, Hitesh! Long time no see? 🙂
Very true, thanks for stopping by, Alana! 🙂
It truly is worth all the effort. 🙂
Thanks so much, Christina! 😀
Great way to look at life. We all have troubles it's how we deal with them is what makes life what it is.
Have a great week Radhika
I have to admit – forgiving myself is one of the hardest things to do… and I cant really say I have successfully done it yet. And yet I know it is necessary if I wish to get rid of some of my personal demons.. but I know I have come a long way from where I was.
Thanks so much, Sara! 😀 Wish you the same.
Doesn't it feel lighter on the inside, when you forgive yourself and move on, forgetting those demons of the past? 🙂
Well said Radhika. Facing it is important. Find someone to talk, let your emotions out and deal with it. Forgive yourself and move on.
Great words, very rich.
