Wellbeing - where is the compassion?

We generally have an uncomfortable relationship with self compassion - and with ourselves. We are socially formed not to take care of ourselves. But how can we improve our wellbeing without it? We want to grow, we strive to develop our habits and our behaviours, we wish to flourish at work - yet a true journey must take the inner work too - the introspection and acknowledging the less desirable parts of our beings as a whole picture - a whole self.
