PRACTICING SELF-COMPASSION" (InLeo Initiative 12)
Practicing self-compassion. I've been working so much on that lately, contemplating ways to make myself feel alive and also feel worth deserving due to the fact that I have been through a lot in my life and trying to find myself because all of the hardship and struggle made me lose me at some point.
Having the ability to put into consideration your needs, seeing the wrong in the hardship of your life activities and thinking of a way for it to be regulated is the same as talking about self compassion. I believe for every creature which God has made and giving life to actually deserves a living for God has made everything perfect in his own ways.
Having compassion for yourself gives you an open space for self growth. It doesn't make you selfish or lack a good heart. Mind you, self compassion does not design you for violence as it only tends to make you understand the values of yourself and also make you see the main reality that giving yourself attention and all the necessary things that you need is the solution to achieving a better life because when you look around thoroughly there's actually no one to do that for you.
You can be self-compassionate and still dedicate time to look after the people you care about. Beside the people you care about are more like part of you since it is written even in the scripture that we should love as one brothers and sisters but you must have to find reasons to give yourself maximum attention and care as well. And also everyone must understand the values of self compassion as it will develop self-reliance and confidence.
Furthermore I would like to give a reference to enlighten my points for more understanding, I would like to use Davido one of the Nigerians biggest afrobeat Superstar whose career has grown massively in the music industry both national and international.
He is one of the best considered by Nigerians and he is one of the most loved person/celebrity in the industry. he have a lot of fans worldwide which is Instagram is one of the proof to show the massive followers he has.
People consider him as one of the most caring, generous and simplest individuals to relate with even though he's a celebrity who is wealthy, famous and powerful due to the fact that he always showcases the character of humbleness and dedicates time to show love to the streets and people around.
The point I want us to look at is not the love and care he gives to the people is the maximum attention, love and care he finds time to give himself by making sure his body is fit and always healthy and again always providing himself whatever thing he needs and actually thinks that will make him happy in this aspect of his life. we will see the love and attention he spread to all his fans but does not hinders him from practicing that self compassion and this illustrates the main purpose of self-compassion because it doesn't deviate you from being a generous and kind hearted person.

You are absolutely correct @scottykriz. Self compassion is never selfish it does not in anyway cause us to become inhuman. It good to always look out for ourselves for it is only by being happy that we can make others happy
