Self-compassion is about being supportive and caring towards yourself, regardless of your achievements or failures. Self-confidence is about being positive and optimistic about your capabilities and potential, regardless of the opinions or expectations of others. While self-confidence can be influenced by external factors, such as feedback, recognition, or comparison, self-compassion is more internal and stable, as it depends on your own attitude and mindset. Therefore, self-compassion can help you build a more solid and resilient foundation for your self-confidence, as it can reduce the impact of negative events, enhance your motivation and learning, and foster a growth mindset.</span> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="column-article-segment-contributions md:column md:pb-[200px] md:w-1/2"> <div class="article-segment-contributions-header-container bg-color-canvas-tint md:ml-[-12px] md:pt-6 lg:ml-0 sticky-on-scroll mt-1 ">  <div class="add-your-perspective-section relative flex flex-row items-center " data-segment-urn="urn:li:articleSegment:(urn:li:linkedInArticle:7122659852631384064,7122659854657212416)" data-test-add-contribution> <code id="add_your_perspective_tracking_prefix" style="display: none"></code> <code id="isGuest" style="display: none"></code> <code id="showFuseErrorMessage" style="display: none"></code> <div class="mb-2"> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/signup/cold-join?session_redirect=%2Fadvice%2F3%2Fhow-can-you-develop-self-compassion-enhance-self-confidence-pytlc&trk=article-ssr-frontend-x-article" target="_self" data-tracking-control-name="add_contribution_cta" data-tracking-will-navigate data-test-link class="add-your-perspective-button btn-sm flex flex-col items-start justify-center lg:btn-md bg-color-surface-accent-tint-1 hover:bg-color-container-tertiary-hover " data-test-add-contribution-btn aria-describedby="content-urn_li_articleSegment__urn_li_linkedInArticle_7122659852631384064_7122659854657212416_" data-test-contribution-cta-link-guest role="button"> <div data-test-contribution-btn-text class="add-your-perspective-button-text text-left text-color-text-low-emphasis">Add your perspective</div> </a> </div> <div class="contribution-text-area-wrapper relative w-full hidden"> <code id="min_char_limit" style="display: none"></code> <code id="min_reply_char_limit" style="display: none"></code> <code id="max_char_limit" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_post_success" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_post_error" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_edit_post_success" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_edit_post_error" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_try_refreshing_the_page" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_characters" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_characters_fraction" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_post_rate_limit_error" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_post_rate_limit_error_suggestion" style="display: none"></code> <div class="contribution-text-area-border ease-linear duration-300 mb-2 rounded-md border-1 border-solid border-[var(--color-input-container-border)] p-2 transition-all focus-within:shadow-border hover:shadow-border active:shadow-border-active md:px-3"> <textarea class="contribution-text-area leading-normal placeholder:text-color-input-hint box-border w-full resize-none border-0 bg-color-transparent p-0 text-md leading-open tracking-wide text-color-text outline-none placeholder:text-color-text-disabled lg:text-lg" placeholder="Some ways to get started: -

I explore self compassion by meditating and defining my internal barometer of emotions, thoughts and feelings that allow me to stay focused on self needs internally and externally. I use these factors to build my self confidence because I know what I want and work towards achieving that which helps to build my knowledge and understanding of my goals and desires. For example, I meditate to explore what I want, then assess my current skill set to see if they match. If there is more needed to reach my goal, I seek out the tools to help improve my skills, which builds my self confidence.</p> <button class="contribution__see-more-button absolute bottom-0 right-0

either have or don't have; rather, it is a skill that can be developed over time with practice and intention. One of the most widely used and researched methods for practicing self-compassion is based on the work of Dr. Kristin Neff, a leading expert on the topic. She suggests that self-compassion consists of three components: self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. To apply these components in your life, when faced with a challenge, mistake, or setback, speak to yourself as you would to a friend with words of encouragement and comfort. Recognize that you are not alone in your struggles and failures and try to observe your thoughts and emotions with curiosity and openness without attaching to them or judging them. Doing so will help you inform and reassure yourself, as well as provide valuable insights for improving your overall wellbeing.</span> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div

assess your current level of self-compassion, and track your progress over time, you can use a simple and reliable tool called the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS). This is a questionnaire that measures the six aspects of self-compassion, according to Dr. Neff's model: self-kindness, self-judgment, common humanity, isolation, mindfulness, and over-identification. You can find the SCS online, and complete it in about 10 minutes. The SCS will give you a score that reflects your overall self-compassion level, as well as your scores for each of the six aspects. You can use this information to identify your strengths and areas for improvement, and to set realistic and specific goals for your self-compassion practice.</span> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="column-article-segment-contributions md:column md:pb-[200px] md:w-1/2"> <div class="article-segment-contributions-header-container bg-color-canvas-tint md:ml-[-12px] md:pt-6 lg:ml-0 sticky-on-scroll mt-1 ">  <div class="add-your-perspective-section relative flex flex-row items-center " data-segment-urn="urn:li:articleSegment:(urn:li:linkedInArticle:7122659852631384064,7122659854665601024)" data-test-add-contribution> <code id="add_your_perspective_tracking_prefix" style="display: none"></code> <code id="isGuest" style="display: none"></code> <code id="showFuseErrorMessage" style="display: none"></code> <div class="mb-2"> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/signup/cold-join?session_redirect=%2Fadvice%2F3%2Fhow-can-you-develop-self-compassion-enhance-self-confidence-pytlc&trk=article-ssr-frontend-x-article" target="_self" data-tracking-control-name="add_contribution_cta" data-tracking-will-navigate data-test-link class="add-your-perspective-button btn-sm flex flex-col items-start justify-center lg:btn-md bg-color-surface-accent-tint-1 hover:bg-color-container-tertiary-hover " data-test-add-contribution-btn aria-describedby="content-urn_li_articleSegment__urn_li_linkedInArticle_7122659852631384064_7122659854665601024_" data-test-contribution-cta-link-guest role="button"> <div data-test-contribution-btn-text class="add-your-perspective-button-text text-left text-color-text-low-emphasis">Add your perspective</div> </a> </div> <div class="contribution-text-area-wrapper relative w-full hidden"> <code id="min_char_limit" style="display: none"></code> <code id="min_reply_char_limit" style="display: none"></code> <code id="max_char_limit" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_post_success" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_post_error" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_edit_post_success" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_edit_post_error" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_try_refreshing_the_page" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_characters" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_characters_fraction" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_post_rate_limit_error" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_post_rate_limit_error_suggestion" style="display: none"></code> <div class="contribution-text-area-border ease-linear duration-300 mb-2 rounded-md border-1 border-solid border-[var(--color-input-container-border)] p-2 transition-all focus-within:shadow-border hover:shadow-border active:shadow-border-active md:px-3"> <textarea class="contribution-text-area leading-normal placeholder:text-color-input-hint box-border w-full resize-none border-0 bg-color-transparent p-0 text-md leading-open tracking-wide text-color-text outline-none placeholder:text-color-text-disabled lg:text-lg" placeholder="Some ways to get started: -

To start, choose a self-compassion affirmation and repeat it to yourself in the morning. During the day, take a few moments to practice self-compassion when facing stressful or challenging situations. You can use the three components of self-compassion or another technique like breathing, meditation, or journaling. Finally, before bed reflect on your day, acknowledging your achievements, efforts, and learnings. Express gratitude for the opportunities, support, and resources you had. By making self-compassion a habit you can reinforce its positive effects on your self-confidence and make it more natural and automatic.</span> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div

<p> <span class>Self-compassion is not a solo endeavor. It can be enhanced and enriched by seeking support from others who can foster a culture of self-compassion. Joining a self-compassion group or workshop can provide guidance, exercises, and discussions on self-compassion. You can also find a self-compassion buddy or mentor to offer encouragement, feedback, and accountability. If you feel that you need more assistance or guidance for your self-compassion practice, you can consider consulting a professional, such as a therapist, coach, or counselor. They can help identify and overcome barriers and provide personalized strategies and tools. Ultimately, seeking support from others can help cultivate and enrich your self-compassion journey.</span> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="column-article-segment-contributions md:column md:pb-[200px] md:w-1/2"> <div class="article-segment-contributions-header-container bg-color-canvas-tint md:ml-[-12px] md:pt-6 lg:ml-0 mt-1 ">  <div class="add-your-perspective-section relative flex flex-row items-center " data-segment-urn="urn:li:articleSegment:(urn:li:linkedInArticle:7122659852631384064,7122659854678179840)" data-test-add-contribution> <code id="add_your_perspective_tracking_prefix" style="display: none"></code> <code id="isGuest" style="display: none"></code> <code id="showFuseErrorMessage" style="display: none"></code> <div class="mb-2"> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/signup/cold-join?session_redirect=%2Fadvice%2F3%2Fhow-can-you-develop-self-compassion-enhance-self-confidence-pytlc&trk=article-ssr-frontend-x-article" target="_self" data-tracking-control-name="add_contribution_cta" data-tracking-will-navigate data-test-link class="add-your-perspective-button btn-sm flex flex-col items-start justify-center lg:btn-md bg-color-surface-accent-tint-1 hover:bg-color-container-tertiary-hover " data-test-add-contribution-btn aria-describedby="content-urn_li_articleSegment__urn_li_linkedInArticle_7122659852631384064_7122659854678179840_" data-test-contribution-cta-link-guest role="button"> <div data-test-contribution-btn-text class="add-your-perspective-button-text text-left text-color-text-low-emphasis">Add your perspective</div> </a> </div> <div class="contribution-text-area-wrapper relative w-full hidden"> <code id="min_char_limit" style="display: none"></code> <code id="min_reply_char_limit" style="display: none"></code> <code id="max_char_limit" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_post_success" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_post_error" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_edit_post_success" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_edit_post_error" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_try_refreshing_the_page" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_characters" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_characters_fraction" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_post_rate_limit_error" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_contribution_post_rate_limit_error_suggestion" style="display: none"></code> <div class="contribution-text-area-border ease-linear duration-300 mb-2 rounded-md border-1 border-solid border-[var(--color-input-container-border)] p-2 transition-all focus-within:shadow-border hover:shadow-border active:shadow-border-active md:px-3"> <textarea class="contribution-text-area leading-normal placeholder:text-color-input-hint box-border w-full resize-none border-0 bg-color-transparent p-0 text-md leading-open tracking-wide text-color-text outline-none placeholder:text-color-text-disabled lg:text-lg" placeholder="Some ways to get started: -
