I think I would say I combine aspects of both areas in my daily life and in the way I treat myself and others 🥰
Thank you for taking the time to post this. It was really helpful. It helped me reflect on whether I am compassionate to myself or not and whether I am self-confident.
I tend to be motivated to achieve goals and I am confident in my abilities.
However, sometimes I might become less compassionate to myself on seeing obstacles and seeing difficult situations. This might stop me from achieving my goals.
What I have learned is that it is important to keep doing what I am doing and to not stop. This will help me develop a growth mindset.
Thank you once again. Have a great day ahead.
