As we\nface these unprecedented challenges, it\u2019s important to remember that being kind\nto ourselves can help us keep it together until we reach the other side of this\nunfortunate situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Feeling \u201cnot good enough\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have been doing all we can to settle into a new routine while following\ngovernment guidance to stay at home as the UK attempts to contain the spread of\ncoronavirus. But during this lockdown phase, there will inevitably be days that\nwe find particularly challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether we struggle to balance our work commitments with family time, or we\nfind ourselves watching our child (or partner) having yet another meltdown. Or\nperhaps we\u2019ll struggle to find ways to avoid boredom or keep up with chores\naround the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever the challenge, there will be days on which we feel we aren\u2019t doing\na \u201cgood enough\u201d job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This feeling of inadequacy is often accompanied by shame, which in turn can\ncause us to feel stressed or low. We may start neglecting ourselves, initiating\narguments with others, or turn to maladaptive coping mechanisms such as\nexcessing drinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At times like these it\u2019s even more important to stay connected with\nyourself and the simple practice of self-compassion can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Self-compassion in a crisis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"627\" data-attachment-id=\"1391\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/05\/03\/the-value-of-self-compassion-in-times-of-crisis\/38567-stressed-suffering-tired-woman-thinkstock-1200w-tn_\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/38567-stressed-suffering-tired-woman-thinkstock.1200w.tn_.jpg?fit=1200%2C627&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,627\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"38567-stressed-suffering-tired-woman-thinkstock.1200w.tn_\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/38567-stressed-suffering-tired-woman-thinkstock.1200w.tn_.jpg?fit=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/38567-stressed-suffering-tired-woman-thinkstock.1200w.tn_.jpg?fit=1024%2C535&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/38567-stressed-suffering-tired-woman-thinkstock.1200w.tn_.jpg?fit=1024%2C535&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/38567-stressed-suffering-tired-woman-thinkstock.1200w.tn_.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/38567-stressed-suffering-tired-woman-thinkstock.1200w.tn_.jpg?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/38567-stressed-suffering-tired-woman-thinkstock.1200w.tn_.jpg?resize=1024%2C535&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/38567-stressed-suffering-tired-woman-thinkstock.1200w.tn_.jpg?resize=768%2C401&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Words have the power to define the nature of our reality. So when we engage\nin self-talk, we shouldn\u2019t be reckless with the words we use. Rather, we should\nbe mindful of both our own perception of reality and the broader view \u2013 this\nhelp us be more compassionate toward ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following three steps can help you to assess the story you are telling\nyourself about your reality, and to be more compassionate by changing the\nlanguage you use in self-talk:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1) Remember you\u2019re not alone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although people don\u2019t always talk about it, we all experience feelings of\ninadequacy and shame. This doesn\u2019t just happen to you \u2013 it\u2019s part of our shared\nhuman experience. Recognising this may help to ease the feelings of shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2) Use gentle words<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1111\" height=\"646\" data-attachment-id=\"1392\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/05\/03\/the-value-of-self-compassion-in-times-of-crisis\/young-african-american-man-wearing-grey-t-shirt-smiling-with-hands-on-chest-with-closed-eyes-and-grateful-gesture-on-face-health-concept\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Self_Compassion_Students_1410x820-705x410-1.jpg?fit=1111%2C646&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1111,646\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Getty Images\\\/iStockphoto&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Young african american man wearing grey t-shirt smiling with hands on chest with closed eyes and grateful gesture on face.

Don\u2019t numb your pain and try hard not to criticise or\ncompare yourself with others. Use gentle words to refer to yourself. Be kind\nand understanding as if you are your own best friend who loves you\nunconditionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3) Be balanced and fair<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, try not to over-identify with your worrying thoughts as this can\ndraw you into negativity. Be fair. Take a more balanced approach by\nacknowledging your failings but also celebrating your successes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may find it helpful to come up with a phrase to say to yourself when\nyou feel you\u2019re not doing a good enough job. Here is an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am not alone in this. Everyone feels the same at times. I am trying my\nbest. I didn\u2019t have time to play with my kids today, but I did cook lunch and\ndinner for them. I didn\u2019t respond to all my work emails, but I finished my\nreport. All I need to do is just be here and do all I can. And this is good\nenough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" data-attachment-id=\"1393\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/05\/03\/the-value-of-self-compassion-in-times-of-crisis\/man-thinking-yellow-wall\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/man-thinking-yellow-wall.jpg?fit=1920%2C1440&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1440\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"man-thinking-yellow-wall\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/man-thinking-yellow-wall.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/man-thinking-yellow-wall.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/man-thinking-yellow-wall.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/man-thinking-yellow-wall.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/man-thinking-yellow-wall.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/man-thinking-yellow-wall.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/man-thinking-yellow-wall.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/man-thinking-yellow-wall.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally published on WellDoing.org.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dr. Patapia Tzotzoli at WellDoing We have all been affected by the recent coronavirus outbreak, either by contracting the virus or by experiencing disruption to our daily lives.
