Vegan Products to Enhance Our Self-Compassion

Did you know that our quintessence perceives how we treat our physical, spiritual and mental dimensions first as “reward” or “punishment”? Self-compassion, in simple terms, means showing ourselves the same compassion and kindness we would give to our loved ones.

According to Dr. Kristin Neff, who introduced this precious term to our lives 20 years ago, self-compassion is a combination of mindfulness, self-kindness, and common humanity that allows us to “become an ally instead of  an enemy” with our inner Self...

Our inner being analyzes our feelings and behaviors not only towards our environment but also to ourselves as to whether they stem from love or negative emotions. For instance, if we deprive ourselves of sleep or consume too much unhealthy food, she/he will regard this as a punitive sign of resentment, while our me-times for our favorite activity or nourishing our skin with beneficial ingredients will be classified as a show of rewarding compassion. 

From this stance, vegan products, with their fully plant-based ingredients free of harmful chemicals and sustainable approach, can be our gentle companions that enhance our self-compassion when reconnecting with ourselves. Here are some vegan products that can contribute to your self-care from varying aspects…
