Compassion for yourself

<p>In this episode, I talk about the distinction between self care and self compassion, and how we need acts of self-care to be driven by a compassionate motivation in order for them to be helpful, not harmful. Looking after yourself out of fear or disgust is not driven by self-compassion. </p> <p>This episode of Pause Purpose Play is based on chapter ten of my new book, The Lasting Connection.
