The biggest reason people aren’t more self-compassionate
The biggest reason people aren’t more self-compassionate
That simple question is the basis for a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] burgeoning new area of psychological research called self-compassion ― how kindly people view themselves. People who find it easy to be supportive and understanding to others, it turns out, often score surprisingly low on self-compassion tests, berating themselves for perceived failures like being overweight or not exercising.
The research suggests that giving ourselves a break and accepting our imperfections may be the first step toward better health. People who score high on tests of self-compassion have less depression and anxiety, and tend to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] be happier and more optimistic. Preliminary data suggest that self-compassion can even influence how much we eat and may help some people lose weight.
This idea does seem at odds with the advice dispensed by many doctors and self-help books, which suggest that willpower and self-discipline are the keys to better health. But Kristin Neff, a pioneer in the field,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], says self-compassion is not to be confused with self-indulgence or lower standards.“I found in my research that the biggest reason people aren’t more self-compassionate is [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] China that they are afraid they’ll become self-indulgent,” said Dr. Neff, an associate professor of human development at the University of Texas at Austin. “They believe self-criticism is what keeps them in line. Most people have gotten it wrong because our culture says being hard on yourself is the way to be.”
