Most of the things I enjoy are simple so that's nice, but it's still not easy to be self-compassionate. It might to be due to how I was raised and what I learned in school, but I wasn't really taught the value of being compassionate to oneself.
Rather, it was more about pushing myself to do better, always trying to get better. Always being critical of oneself because you don't want to think you are ever good enough for fear that you'll end up thinking you're better than you actually are. This kind of thinking can quickly get tiring and unhealthy.
There is still much to learn, but this illustration is a little step in the right direction.
