Abstract

This chapter explores the significant correlation between self-compassion and students' overall well-being, focusing on its profound effects on their mental, emotional, and social aspects. An analysis of the fundamental elements of self-compassion, which are grounded in the principles of positive psychology and mindfulness, reveals its significant impact on emotional resilience, diminished self-criticism, and enhanced coping strategies. Empirical research supports the correlation between self-compassion and favourable student outcomes as a protective factor against stress and anxiety. Practical strategies provided educators, parents, and students with a toolkit to facilitate the incorporation of self-compassion into academic environments. The chapter culminates by issuing a resolute appeal for readers to adopt self-compassion to improve their overall well-being, personally and academically.
