Can you find some space for self-compassion?

Sometimes life can be hard and our capacities shift and change. One day things feel impossible while the next day we feel strong. Can you find some space for self compassion? Self-compassion is a skill that we can implement in our every day lives. It is associated with increased happiness and optimism, while decreasing anxiety, depression, and rumination. Having some self-compassion will help you to be more resilient, motivated, and have better relationships. 

What exactly does self-compassion look like? Take a deep breath, place your hand on your heart, apply a little pressure and say to yourself, “You are doing the best you can. Some days are harder than others. You are well intended.”
