Practice being more self-compassionate

I was speaking to one of my mentors the other week and he stressed that I gravely needed to consider something: that I needed to practice compassion with myself. As a caregiver I extend compassion daily to others – but I hold myself to another standard. All this adds up to, among other things, burnout. So I am going to research this, meditate upon it, and try to apply it in my daily life.
