What would you offer a friend at the end of a hard day that you can offer yourself now?
Make a wish for your seven-year-old self. How about your teenage self? How about a wish for today?
Whatever today’s challenge was, can you think of anyone else who might be going through a similar struggle?
What is an act of self compassion and self-care that you can take today that is neither self denial nor self indulgence?
Name three things that you like about yourself. Notice how receiving recognition makes them stronger.
Picture of a baby or an animal. Say, may you be happy. May you be healthy. May you be safe. May you be loved. Repeat four times.
When was the last time someone got under your skin? Can you think of 3 reasons they may have acted the way they did that have nothing to do with you?
Regardless of the outcome, can you give yourself credit for a time you stood up for what was right?
If a child told you they were a failure because of some small mistake, how might you respond? Can you try the same words and tone for yourself?
Is there some part of yourself that hides from the world? Write a short note to that part of you from the perspective of a best friend.
In every moment, there are infinite reasons to be upset and infinite reasons to be happy. Make a list of five things you could be happy about right now.
What old story do you tell about yourself that’s stuck on repeat? Could you take a moment and write down the more compassionate version?
If you’ve made a mistake or fallen short in someway, and the self blame won’t relent, go to a mirror. Yes, now. Look yourself in the eyes and say “I forgive you.“
Message your friend and say hi, thank you. Or offer a compliment. Yes, right now.
Ask yourself what do I need right now? If possible, give it to yourself.
When was the last time you did a less than perfect job and felt OK about it? When was doing good enough?
Can you take a moment to recall the last time you laughed? Can you watch a funny video or otherwise make yourself smile?
Wrap your arms around yourself and give yourself a hug for three breaths. Try, saying, “I love you, just as you are”. Notice how you feel.
Is a part of your body calling out in pain or discomfort? Can you just be with it without trying to change it for five breaths?
Bring to mind and body a situation that causes stress. Can you simply recognize and name it, as you breathe through it?
Stop and let yourself do absolutely nothing for three breaths. With each breath, try saying “let go.“
Picture of a child, animal, or any image that makes you feel warmth and love. Take three brass, sending compassion to that image.
Just like a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, can you find a small, painful experience and see if you can transform it into strength, purpose, or growth?
Try forgiving yourself for a small, recent misstep. Now wish yourself well.
