Self-compassion enables you to take risks while being positive about the fact that even if things do not turn out your way, everything will eventually be fine, as you are still the same person.
Self-compassion and its effect

- What feels wrong?
- How can the problem be defined?
- What are the fears with regards to making changes?
- What actions can be taken that would improve the situation?
