Self-compassion
Kristin Neff is a Psychologist and was the first person to measure and define the term “self-compassion.”
She says self-compassion is the kindness we show ourselves. And this means being kind to ourselves in good times and bad time and even when we make mistakes.
There are some things you can do to practice self-compassion. I actually do these things and really helps sometimes.
Treat yourself as you would a treat best friend
Practice mindfulness.This means to recognize your feelings and not judgemental about those feelings. That means no negative self talk -- tell that inner critic to hush..
Remember that you’re not alone.Being human is hard… it’s important to recognize that whatever we’re feeling or going through is also being experienced by millions of others-- we are not alone.

Vandana Shiva is an Indian scholar, environmental activist, food sovereignty advocate, and anti-globalization author.[2]
She’s based in Delhi,
Vandana has authored more than twenty books.[3]
Her latest book published 2013 is Making Peace With The Earth
I am going to share some of Vandana’s accomplishments chronologically:
In 1978, she completed her PhD in philosophy at the University of Western Ontario,[10]
The focus was the philosophy of physics.
Her dissertation was titled "Hidden variables and locality in quantum theory" in which she discussed the mathematical and philosophical implications of hidden variable theories that fall outside of the purview of Bell's theorem.[11]
In 1982, she founded the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology.[12]
This led to the creation of Navdanya
Navdanya is a national movement to protect the diversity and integrity of living resources, especially native seed, the promotion of organic farming and fair trade.
And today, Shiva is still seen as playing a major role in the global Ecofeminist movement. Shiva suggests that a more sustainable and productive approach to agriculture can be achieved through reinstating the system of farming in India that’s more centered on engaging women.
Here is one of my favorite Vandana quotes:
“You are not Atlas carrying the world on your shoulder. It is good to remember that the planet is carrying you.”
