I love seeing more content like this coming from the church. I'm hopeful messages like this will help my children and other church members avoid the same traps of perfectionism and anxiety I think can be too common for members today!

Self-Compassion is SO IMPORTANT! So grateful the Church is teaching this important concept

[@debfryer2437]

God told Kory Robertson, wife of Willie Robertson, when she was praying about being a failure as a mother: “ I did not call you to be successful; I called you to be faithful.” That puts the nature of God into perspective. He knows we are limited in this world, and he wants us to take courage, do our best and look to Him. That’s all. If He is not condemning us, then neither should we.

For a long time I was battling with self-hatred but at the instant I accepted Jesus into my heart and life and I became self-compassionate ❤️ To anyone who's going through this similar situation of self-imcompassion. Jesus loves you and your worth is in Him. Remember you are not a slave to the standards of this world. You are the daughter/son of the MOST HIGH!

[@amoodyb]

1 yr late but how did you do it? Did you pray everyday for help and read God’s word? I’m asking cuz I heard it’s a good idea to get advice from believers

[@reese924]

“As I have loved you...”

[@LHJlives]

If the Lord won't insult or berate us, then why should we do it to ourselves? He lovingly corrects us when we are in the wrong, but He does so out of compassion and a desire for us to be our best selves. We should do the same.

[@Aaron_Gato123]

@@dennisclark6758 There is always something you can do to be happy. Going out and serve others will replace loneliness. You'll feel that your existence is important because you bless other people's lives. If you can't go out then make a video and tell your story. Perhaps other people can relate and connect with you. Just be proactive. You can win against loneliness. Heavenly Father wants you to be happy po.

[@self-developementhub3731]

Thank you. I am constantly trying to be perfect and when I'm not, I feel like I sinned the worst sin. It is actually a type of anxiety. I am working on being kind to myself.

[@lydiacheshire5183]

I do have this same ind of perfection as well. I know it's rough, but hey, we got this! ;)

[@seanjackson5527]

I had a bishop who asked me when I felt that way, who wanted me to feel it? Either Heavenly Father or the adversary is saying it and if it's discouraging, who do you think is saying it? I answered the obvious, then my bishop said "That's you how you can recognize who's talking to you and know to ignore it". We all feel we've sunk to far, but the kinder we are to ourselves and the more we choose to believe the Savior is helping us, and to trust Him, that anxiety will disappear and we'll grow stronger.

[@teslarowe4849]

May I suggest an old sermon that really helped me overcome self-criticism? It's called "Be Renewed in the Spirit of your Mind" by Patricia Holland. It's on KZbin. Her husband is actually quoted in this video, but her sermon gave a lot of practical advice for overcoming this. Totally changed my life.

Being to Kind to oneself can easily be overlooked and forgotten! The great thing about being Kind to others is it also increases your own self worth. That is what I do if I'm not able to treat myself in a Kind way! So many great comments here and I wish I had more people like you all in my community 😊

[@regasoup9597]

Remember everyone especially in these times so many people are dealing with hard things And You should always be kind to yourself, and others. But yourself is very important because if you keep saying bad things to yourself you will start to belive them, and same goes if you are saying good things about yourself. How are you blessed? Count your blessings What are you good at? Be proud of things you do well at, and enjoy! Thanks for reading! Have a great day 😊

[@wiltoncosta3665]

Yeah! I agree with you sometimes is getting hard to know what good you are, however other thinks different

[@stand.inholyplaces]

This is fantastic! It’s important to remember that our Heavenly Father created us, so how can we not be kind to ourselves? Being unkind to yourself is almost like disapproving of the person that He created. We have inherent value no matter what. Love God, love others, and love yourself. You are a child of God.

[@devin6272]

This comment is just for me, but I need to put it out there. This is precisely the video I needed. I beat myself up for my various mistakes and choices that I feel are me spitting in the face of Jesus. When in reality, I'm not, and I'm doing myself a more significant disservice by not taking advantage of the savior's atonement. He suffered for me; I owe him everything.

This is a timely video. Just today I happened to catch a glance of myself in a glass door, I was in my military uniform and wearing a COVID mask. As I walked up to the door it was as if I heard a voice behind me say, "You are so handsome, and successful, and I am so proud of you." It caught me so off guard that it almost brought me to tears.

[@jillianguilford5191]

There have been answers to my prayers. Changes within my mind and heart, people including themselves in my life, service opportunities. I'm so grateful. I've gone to my bishop and had discussion with him. I'm so grateful for the counsel he gave. Changes in behavior have been encouraged and I'm in better compliance with commandments. Some areas of selfishness on my part are healing as I choose to be more obedient because I love God, Christ, Heavenly Mother and the Holy Spirit.

[@abbiluchs2747]

I LOVE THIS! Self compassion is so important! I almost wish the animation at the beginning was a little different though. I wish the girl depicted would have hugged the critical voice in her head. I think that Christ won’t ever take away our difficulties, but he can help us accept and love the parts of ourselves we either can’t change or struggle with. I’m not saying we should listen to what that critical voice says about us, but that we should not be ashamed to struggle with low self esteem or negative thoughts, because that can prevent us from seeking help. As we make efforts to be friends with ourselves, every part of ourselves, I think it is silly to assume that voice will disappear. BUT by having faith in Christ and our own ability to improve, we truly can diminish that voice’s influence!! So appreciate the church speaking to this issue that really persists today!

[@debbies27]

[@DaveGarber1975]

I had this problem for a long time but, with God's help, I overcame it. Our loving Heavenly Father commands us to love not only Him with all our souls but also our neighbors as ourselves. And that equality is important. Sometimes we may treat ourselves like figurative gold and our neighbors like figurative dirt, but sometimes we can do the opposite instead; in any case, neither is correct. Ideally, we should treat ourselves like the Savior does---with patience and kindness and a sincere desire for us to repent of our sins and to become our best selves.

The Lord said, "I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive; but of you it is REQUIRED to forgive all men." That includes the person in the mirror.

[@veleanwilliams-palmer3456]

At some point or another, we all had to deal with these counterfeits of the adversary--self-criticism, self doubt, and comparing ourselves with others. The realization that we are all unique in our own way, and that we are never defined by our mistakes, is a step into self-compassion and acceptance. Let us remember that we are destined for greatness. If we look at ourselves and others through the eyes of the Savior, then we would see that we are all alike unto Him and He loves us unconditionally.
