Book review: Be kind to yourself

Many times, we can be very kind to others, but when we are cruel, judgmental, or blaming ourselves for even a small thing, it is like being a different person. In fact, "compassion for ourselves" or Self-Compassion is one of the most powerful tools of heart care, but it is something we often overlook.

The work of real doctors, child and adolescent psychiatrists working in the United States, will gradually take us on a journey to explore ourselves through close-in situations such as stress, anxiety, failed attempts, or unrealistic expectations, with understandable and not too cruel to ourselves, easy to digest content, like a friend sitting next to him saying, "You don't have to be perfect."

Books not only teach us to love ourselves, but also teach us to accept mistakes, appreciate new beginnings, and know that being kind to ourselves is not selfishness, but a gift we can give ourselves every day.

What about you... when was the last time you were kind to yourself?

... Read moreการใจดีกับตัวเองนั้นเป็นสิ่งที่หลายคนมองข้าม โดยเฉพาะเมื่อเราเผชิญกับความเครียดในชีวิตประจำวัน เมื่อเราแนะนำหรือให้กำลังใจคนอื่นได้ดี แต่อาจลืมใส่ใจตัวเองอย่างจริงจัง หนังสือ ‘ใจดีกับตัวเองบ้างก็ได้’ ให้แง่คิดว่าการเมตตาต่อตัวเองคือขั้นตอนสำคัญในการรักษาจิตใจให้แข็งแรงและมีความสุขแท้จริง จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว การฝึกใจดีกับตัวเองช่วยลดความกังวลและความไม่มั่นใจลงได้มาก แม้จะพลาดหรือไม่สมบูรณ์แบบ การพูดกับตัวเองด้วยถ้อยคำอบอุ่นและไม่ตัดสินใจรุนแรง สามารถสร้างความรู้สึกอุ่นใจและพร้อมลุกขึ้นใหม่อีกครั้งได้เสมอ นอกจากนี้ การรับรู้ว่า “ไม่มีใครสมบูรณ์แบบ ใครๆ ก็ทำผิดพลาดได้” ตามคำแนะนำในหนังสือและภาพปกที่เป็นพื้นหลังโต๊ะไม้ ถ่ายทอดข้อความสำคัญนี้อย่างชัดเจน เป็นการปลอบประโลมใจในวันที่เหนื่อยล้าและหมดกำลังใจ การใจดีกับตัวเองไม่ใช่ความเห็นแก่ตัว แต่เป็นของขวัญล้ำค่าที่มอบให้ตัวเองในแต่ละวัน เพื่อสร้างความสมดุลในชีวิต และพร้อมรับมือกับความท้าทายด้วยทัศนคติที่เปี่ยมไปด้วยความใจดีและความเข้าใจต่อตัวเองอย่างลึกซึ้ง
