Self-compassion is different to self-indulgence, Tara Ward explains on page 9. It’s about accepting that the situation we are in is difficult, and taking steps to be kind to ourselves. Ultimately, self-compassion allows us to use our tough times to grow as people, which in itself is hugely empowering. With that in mind, use the current issue of Arthritis Digest as a way to be kind to yourself. Look at the products we’ve picked on page 5. Would something like these make your life easier? Perhaps the foods on pages 6 and 7 are worth trying? Keep informed of new research findings discussed throughout the issue to add to your knowledge about your health condition. We only have one shot at this. Let’s make the most of it.
