Often when we start a new process - mindfulness, dieting, working out, kindness, etc - we come to the idea that because we\u2019re starting this thing now, we haven\u2019t done anything before.
\nFor instance, we get the weird sense that when I start eating this new way, I\u2019m starting a diet. But the truth is that I\u2019ve had a diet all along. It was just an unhealthy diet.
\nBut when I look at it as not something new, but instead something changed, it opens me to see the momentum I\u2019ve built against what I\u2019m working on, and in this realization, I find the self-compassion that could be the single most determining factor in the success of this endeavor.
