  In my previous post I had been talking about self-compassion. The formula Dr Kristin Neff has given is Self-Compassion = Self-Kindness + Human connection + Mindfulness Now, compassion means sympathetic consciousness of other's distress together with a desire to alleviate it.

Continuing my discussion from my last post on "P's of decision-making"   Let us move forward to see what elements of pain and pleasure influence our decision-making behaviour.  To understand this we need to understand the following concepts(Based on B F Skinner's reinforcement theory / operational conditioning ): a) Reinforcement : We use reinforcement when we want to increase the frequency of the behaviour. This boosts the behaviour. There are two types of reinforcements     i) Positive reinforcement: Positive consequences that increase the probability of the behaviour I want                                                             to see.      ii) Negative reinforcement: Negative consequences are withheld, thus increasing the probability of the      ...
