Here are a couple of effective ways to exercise self-compassion whenever you need it. Try saying the following to yourself:

^*^

“I accept the good, the bad and the ugly; I fully accept every part of myself including my flaws, fears, behaviors, and qualities I might not be too proud of. This is how I am, and I am at peace with that.”

^*^

“No matter what happens externally and no matter what’s taken away from me, I’m not affected internally.”
