This reminded me of a practice Jack Canfield mentioned in his Super Soul Sunday conversation with Oprah a few years ago.

He looks in the mirror at least once a day and says "I love you" to himself. At first, I found this a bit silly, but I understood what he meant when I tried to do it and struggled. I couldn't be compassionate towards myself!

We're gentle with others and find it easy to tell a partner we love them, but are so cruel to ourselves.

I'm still working on self-compassion, but I think a sign of success in this area could be the ability to say you love yourself without rolling your eyes.

Great piece and tips. Thanks for sharing!
