Lent 2022 - Week 6 Tuesday

 
 

Week 6 – Tuesday
Self-Compassion IN ACTION
It will take some practice to get in the habit of being kind to yourself.

Practice #2: A great way to counter critical thoughts.
When you notice that you are judging or criticizing yourself…
Simply say, “I forgive myself for judging myself for ______”.
Example: I forgive myself for judging myself for not doing this sooner.

Give it a try for a few days.
I would love to know your experience of this practice. How did it feel?
Share in the comments.

It does take work to break the self-criticizing habits of a lifetime, but at the end of the day, you are only being asked to relax, allow life to be as it is, and open your heart to yourself. It’s easier than you might think, and it could change your life.
— From "Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself" by Kristin Neff
