Accept Your Feelings (For Greater Self-Compassion)

We all struggle sometimes, and one of the best ways to decrease our suffering when we're struggling is just to normalize and accept what we're feeling. This short guided meditation utilizes affirmations (not affirmations) to increase your compassionate acceptance of whatever it is you’re feeling right now. This acceptance not only decreases suffering, but also deepens our connection with ourselves and our ability to heal and move through our big emotions.

We all struggle sometimes,

And one of the best ways to decrease our suffering when we're struggling is just to normalize and accept what we're feeling.

So breathing in and out through your heart,

Ask yourself the following questions.

What if it's okay to feel this way right now?

What if lots of people struggle like this sometimes?

What if there's nothing wrong with me for feeling this way?

What if my reaction here actually makes sense in a way?

What if I can soften my heart to myself and this moment exactly as it is?

What would it be like to acknowledge what I'm really feeling right now and love myself anyway?

What if I can stop fighting with what is?

What would it be like to just accept my feelings right now?

What if I can love and accept myself even though I'm struggling?

Breathing in and out through your heart for several more breaths,

How do you feel now?
