The first element of self-compassion is MINDFULNESS— 🧠

Being present with your painful feelings without avoiding them or drowning in them is a skill worth mastering!

It's about finding the middle ground between suppression and over-identification. Think of it as acknowledging "I'm having a hard time right now" rather than "I'm a mess" or pretending everything's fine.

Can you simply notice what you're feeling today?

Have you heard The Parable of Two Arrows? There's a Buddhist teaching that perfectly explains why we suffer more than necessary. 💔

Imagine you're struck by an arrow—it hurts, right? This arrow represents the inevitable pain of life: loss, failure, rejection, disappointment. Everyone gets hit by these arrows at some point in life.

After this happens, we often shoot a SECOND arrow at ourselves. This is the arrow of our reaction—the harsh self-criticism, the "I'm such a failure," the rumination, the shame spiral. We take our pain and multiply it by beating ourselves up.

The first arrow is painful enough, why shoot a second? Self-compassion is about recognizing when we're reaching for that second arrow and choosing to put it down instead. The next time something painful happens, notice: is your response to yourself adding to that hurt? 🏹

To kick off the new year, we're exploring what it means to be compassionate with yourself. 💙

Based on Buddhist philosophy and pioneered by Dr. Kristin Neff, self-compassion means treating yourself with the same kindness you'd offer a close friend.

Happy New Year!
