Compassion focused mindfulness practice specifically looks at cultivating and fostering a kinder and more soothing approach to deal with distressing emotions and self-criticism. The first step is to recognize how critical self-talk lowers mood and sets up vicious negative cycles of feeling awful about yourself.

Building compassion for yourself can help counteract these vicious cycles. With a compassionate focus, you can learn to think in a way that helps you to be more at peace with your thoughts and emotions.
