Correcting our assumptions about self-compassion

  • Notice what you believe about self-compassion. What do you think would happen if you were self-compassionate? What would happen if you let go of harsh self-criticism?
  • Notice how you talk to yourself. Is your self-talk negative? Do you hold yourself...

Be patient with yourself

One of the main keys to learning self-compassion is to actually practice being patient with oneself, especially on your worst days. 

Remember to put yourself first, and to turn every negative emotion into a lesson learned.

Notice when you're stuck in your head

Overthinking can become such a habit that you don't even recognize when you're doing it. Practice paying attention.

When you're overthinking past or future events, acknowledge that your thoughts aren't productive. Thinking is only helpful when it leads to positive action.
