Abstract in brief
The study explored how short-term self-compassion exercises affect mood, self-perception, and physiological responses, showing improvements like increased self-compassion and reduced self-criticism, especially compared to negative rumination.
Physiologically, self-compassion led to decreased arousal, lower heart rate and skin conductance, and increased parasympathetic activity, indicating better emotion regulation, unlike rumination which caused opposite effects.
The findings suggest that reducing physiological arousal through self-compassion may help people feel safer and more connected emotionally, highlighting a possible mechanism for the mental health benefits of self-compassion.]

Practicing self-kindness has actual physical benefits: a study with 135 healthy students showed practicing self-compassion reduced heart rates, the variation in length of time between heartbeats and even their sweat response!

Self-compassion improves #mentalhealth.
Self-compassion reduces autonomic arousal (anxiety symptoms) and increases parasympathetic activation (stress-reduction system).
Self-compassion can lead to feelings of safety and connection.

Un patrón de respuesta psicofisiológica de excitación reducida y activación parasimpática aumentada fue exclusivo de las condiciones de autocompasión
Este patrón está asociado con la regulación efectiva de las emociones en tiempos de adversidad
