The surprising link between self-compassion, mindfulness, and our ability to enjoy positive experiences to the fullest
Schellenberg was impressed by the many benefits of self-compassion revealed in previous research, showing that it was associated with greater well-being, ato improve, and even enhanced physical health. “Self-compassion helps people during difficult life experiences,” he said. “We wondered if self-compassion could also affect how people respond to positive life experiences.”
It was this question that led him to study the effect of self-compassion on savoring — that is, the attempt to maintain or augment positive feelings when something good happens. “There are many different ways people can savor: You can share an experience with a friend, try to stay in the moment, loudly shout and jump for joy, or quietly reflect on theyou are experiencing,” explained Schellenberg. “We wondered if people who tended to act with self-compassion during bad times also tended to savor during good times.”
Schellenberg’s research consisted of two studies. The first analyzed the self-compassion and savoring capacity of student-athletes over an academic year and competitive season. The second measured the same characteristics in the fans of a victorious soccer team .Student-athletes with high self-compassion experienced increases in savoring 2 months later.
“It’s really important to be nice to yourself,” he concluded. “Being nice to yourself during bad times involves treating yourself with compassion, and being nice to yourself during good times involves savoring and maximizing your positive feelings.”
