当其他人犯了错误或是遇见困境时，大家都了解要安慰他、激励他。但当自己遇见同样的状况时，大家却常常自责、惩罚自己，从而愈加打击我们的自信和动力。大家应该掌握善待自己，告诉自己暂时的困难没什么大不了，大家肯定能战胜并获得最后的成功。
6. Practice Kindness
善待自己
Replace self-criticism with encouragement and motivating inspiration. You easily encourage everyone else in your life with praise and uplifting sentiments. Why not do the same for yourself? Imagine seeing a child looking forlorn because she cannot figure out the puzzle she is working on. You are not going to go over and verbally smack1 the frustration2 out of her, are you? Instead, you will probably talk compassionately4 to her, put an arm around her, see what is so upsetting, and inspire her with words that will keep her optimistic and inspired. Instead of punishing yourself when things do not work out right, begin cultivating compassion3 for yourself. You must feel deserving and worthy5 to sustain the motivation needed to achieve your desired outcome. 用鼓励和勉励取代自我批评。在日常，你会比较容易地用赞美和勉励人心的感情去鼓励其他人。为什么不为自己做同样的事情？想象一下一个因不可以解答谜题而难过的孩子。你不会走上前，给她打击，让她感到沮丧，对吗？相反，你非常或许会同情地和她交谈，用手臂拥着她，看看是什么这样让人心烦，用语言勉励她，使她维持乐观，遭到激励。因此，当事情不顺利时，不要惩罚自己，要培养对我们的同情心。为了达成你的期望结果，就需要认可自己应得、值得遭到激励。
