Self Compassion

A very simple practice that can be done daily, especially in the morning before you start your day. This simple practice of self acceptance and wrapping the arms around the body in front of a mirror can calm the nervous system and offer a ripple of rewards as the day unfolds.

Meeting Myself with Compassion Today I see myself in the mirror and smile.

I open my arms wide and give myself a hug.

I hold myself in this pose,

In this gesture,

And repeat to myself,

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I close my eyes and take a breath.

Holding myself feels safe and sweet.

I need this simple gesture more than anything else today.

My body listens carefully.

My heart feels the love and I refuel on self-compassion.

Today,

Compassion starts from me,

For me.
