Short Self-compassion Practice To Use In A Difficult Moment

Self-compassion is one of the most powerful inner resources to grow. Learn to meet your own suffering and distress, including anxiety, fear, regret, frustration, shame or sadness, with kindness instead of self-rejection, judgement. Practice meeting yourself with kind, friendly eyes and learn to be on your own side, especially in your most difficult moments. When you need it the most, it becomes a natural response to your distress, and also to the distress of others. This is a short practice , so it can be used in those times.
