A short self-compassion practice
A brief, optional way to respond to a difficult moment kindly.
- 1NoticeName what is happening: "this is a hard moment."
- 2NormaliseRemember that struggling is part of being human, not a flaw.
- 3Offer warmthA hand on your chest, a slower breath, or kind words in your own voice.
- 4Ask what would helpEven a small answer is enough — rest, water, a pause.
This is a gentle practice, not a fix. It is fine if it feels awkward at first — that usually fades with repetition, not effort.
You might explore these in your own words — there is no right answer, and stopping partway is completely fine.
