3-Step Self-Compassion Practice

You can use the 3-Step self-compassion break whenever you’re in the middle of an uncomfortable, difficult or painful situation. Designed by compassion researcher Kristen Neff, it is a powerful method of directing compassion and kindness towards ourselves.

Step 1 - we acknowledge that we are suffering.

Step 2 - we recognise that we all suffer, we’re not alone, we recognise our common humanity.

Step 3 - we direct kindness and compassion towards ourselves.

So calming and helpful. The approach is so very genuine and unforced.

Wonderful and simple practice. I was so touched to hear you reference self-kindness and self-compassion as these words are the main component of my intentions this year. Thank you for this practice 💜

Great grounding meditation. Reminder for step 2 immediately brings relief. Thank you. 🙏🏽

This was incredibly relaxing! Love doing Kristen’s Neff’s Self-Compassion prompts with Chib’s soothing voice guiding me along. Thank you! 🙏

Loved this! I feel soft and easy on the inside! The grip is gone. Thank you very much
