Abstract

As the rapid development of the world, the workload on people elevated, and mental health has received increasing attention. People have then searched for ways and mindsets to enhance their mental well-being and success in work, while self-compassion is one of them. Defined as treating oneself with kindness, open-mindedness and common understanding, self-compassion is viewed as a positive attitude of self-evaluation in the face of failures or suffering. However, the influencing factors of self-compassion are not yet clear. Therefore, this article aimed to explore several variables of self-compassion through literature review, with self-regulation and motivation being selected among them. The positive association between self-regulation, self-compassion and motivation were found. Besides, self-regulation may conceivably have an affirmative effect on self-compassion, while the increase in self-compassion leads to motivation enhancement. Mindfulness practice and other measures are recommended to enhance self-compassion. The study allows individuals to have a greater command of self-compassion in concept, also enable individuals to integrate self-compassion into life, thus achieve well-being and help to confront with daily challenges.
