Progress Not Perfection: Self-Compassion In Testing Times

This is a meditation to build resilience by resourcing ourselves with a comforting self-compassion practice. It focuses on accepting what is and making progress as best we can; and gives us permission to not have to “do it perfectly” in these testing times. It begins with a spoken section and then goes into a three stage self-compassion practice, inspired by the wonderful work of Dr Kristen Neff. It invites calmness, compassion and deeper self-connection into your day.

What a beautiful voice you have. It gave me a refreshing start to my day with Love, Joy, and Peace. Have a wonderful week sis, may God bless you many more.

Thank for the willingness to follow through with compassion work for my Inner Child.

A gentle and restorative meditation, just what I needed this morning 🙏🏻✨

I’m currently battling a cold and it’s knocked me out for several days. This meditation slowed me down to realize my body is suffering and to give it love rather than feeling frustrated that it can’t support me in accomplishing goals at the moment. Thank you for this beautiful reminder to show myself compassion for where I’m at right now.

I really enjoyed that, thank you. Your voice and the message put me into a complete relaxed state that I have not been able to achieve many times. I will definitely listen again.

So supportive- inclusive, real. Thank you for making me feel less isolated.

A beautiful meditation! Encouraging and affirming... 🙏

Great practice, thank you for the guidance. Namaste 🙏🏼

Thank you so much for this amazing meditation! You spoke directly to my heart with words I have needed to hear. These are trying times. We are all doing the best that we can. We don’t have to navigate this perfectly. Thank you for such a beautiful gift!

This was real good! Wow. The music in the background was great!!

Exactly what I needed, remembering that our best right now is enough helped me alot 💕 thank you for this wonderful meditation

Thank you for offering this lovely meditation. I found the teacher’s voice comforting and the background music pleasant. I really appreciated the phrase “progress” vs “perfection”. I definitely feel calmer going into my day. Indeed we are all doing the best we can. Many blessings. 💛
