Self compassion is so important!

Self compassion is so important!

Self-compassion is a powerful practice that can transform how we relate to ourselves. Here are six simple yet profound ways to bring more kindness and care into your life:

1️⃣ Ask yourself, 'What do I need?': Pause for a moment and check in. Do you need rest, reassurance, movement, or connection? Listening to yourself with curiosity and care is a powerful act of self-compassion.

2️⃣ Treat Yourself Like a Friend: Speak to yourself with the same kindness and understanding you’d offer a dear friend.

3️⃣ Supportive Touch: A gentle hand on your heart or a comforting self-hug can soothe and ground you in moments of distress.

4️⃣ Write a Self-Compassionate Letter: Put pen to paper and offer yourself words of comfort and encouragement, just as you would to someone you love.

5️⃣ Remember You Aren’t Alone: It’s important to acknowledge that we all face challenges—this imperfection is what makes us human.

6️⃣ Use a Warm Inner Tone of Voice: Try to adopt a gentle tone with yourself, especially when things go wrong. Practice patience, understanding, and warmth toward yourself.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

Su***de is the leading cause of death for Australians aged 15 to 49 years.

Su***de has a devastating impact on families, friends and whole communities. These statistics can be confronting, behind every number is a human life.

It affects all ages, genders and ethnicities.

This day of global observance brings together over 60 countries, uniting us in a shared mission to reduce stigma, advocate for policy change, encourage help-seeking, and honour the memories of those lost to su***de, those who have survived su***de attempts, and those who bear the weight of grief.

In an emergency, call 000.

Help is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, anywhere in Australia. If you need help now, call:

• Lifeline – 13 11 14
• Kids Helpline – 1800 55 1800
• Su***de Call Back Service: 1300 659 467
• Beyond Blue – 1300 224 636
• 13YARN – 13 92 76.
