Compassion isn’t just a feeling, it’s full-body intelligence.
It connects us to our heart, our gut, and our head. When we practice compassion, especially self-compassion, we activate more of our brain, not just the reactive, survival-based parts, but the wise, integrative ones that lead to healing.
But self-compassion doesn’t come naturally for most of us. It takes practice. I’ve known burnout more times than I’d like to admit. I’m writing this from a park bench by the beach, having stopped for coffee during a bike ride, finally listening to the quiet voice inside that said: “Rest.”
If you’ve been pushing yourself too hard for too long, I invite you to tune into your body. Get to know the part of you that ignores your own needs, the part that wasn’t listened to as a child, and maybe carries on a pattern handed down through generations. That part doesn’t need more judgment. It needs your patience. Your warmth. Your grown-up presence.
The world doesn’t need more people who sacrifice themselves to keep others comfortable. It needs people who know how to rest, to feel, and to care, starting with themselves.
