為社麽Self-care那麽難
因爲這篇有點跳,所以我截取的重點不會跟著文章的順序。
Genuine self-care involves recognizing and accepting your imperfections, while also finding ways to improve yourself—compassionately. It also often means making compromises and recognizing that no compromise is perfect.

Self-compassion, then, is all about balance, not perfection. And there are many ways to get to that balance: Mindfulness practices, psychotherapy, and conversations with friends, spouses, partners, colleagues, parents, and even your children can all help you gain perspective.
在有限的時間和資源中,好好的用不同形式寬待和照顧自己各方的需求。

其實以前學急救的時候,施救者首先要做的永遠是先保護自己。把自己照顧好,才來談回應別人的需求。
這次的功課很多,我前後也弄了兩三天才終於整理好(然後下一次咨商就是下周二了)。中間也的確獲益良多,當然不可能很快就直接應用到生活裏,但如諮商師説的,首要還是aware,獲取相關知識后,後續才可能有相應的motivation這樣。
