Are you compassionate towards yourself? If you have a bout of depression or self doubt, can you accept that? Is it a natural result of the way you react to certain pressures in your life? What about illness, can you look kindly upon yourself when you are ill? Or do you expect yourself to be in top health, on the top of your game and in great cheer constantly?
I can tell when someone else is putting on a front, when they act one way but really feel another way. Yes, we can all put on a good front sometimes, just to get through a part of our life that is really challenging. But it's really best when we face how we really feel and act accordingly.
Compassion is not just something you feel for others. Act with compassion towards yourself. If you're having a difficult day, give yourself a break. Be understanding. Lighten up and try to find something that makes you feel grateful. This will help you transition to a more contented mood.
Namaste.
