Informed by
From the PDF’s evidence snapshot (page 2): A 2012 meta-analysis found that people higher in self-compassion tend to report less depression, anxiety, and stress (MacBeth & Gumley, Clinical Psychology Review, PMID 22796446). That's an association, not proof of cause, but it suggests kindness toward yourself is worth practicing.
