You know self-compassion is what you’re supposed to do
Self-compassion is the antidote to shame.
Self-compassion is the pathway for you to cultivate your own worthiness.
BUT … you suck at being self-compassionate!
So, what do you do?
CAUTION: This is the beginning of a downward spiral of self-beating and self-hatred, only getting you further and further away from self-compassion.
Instead, stop the beating, stop thinking “I’m doing it wrong.”
STOP!
Next, forgive yourself. Yes you read that right. Forgive yourself.
Say these words aloud.
I forgive you. Thank you. I’m sorry. I love you.
[Inhale deeply … exhale fully]
Now say them five more times, remember your breathing.
I forgive you. Thank you. I’m sorry. I love you.
[Inhale deeply … exhale fully]
I forgive you. Thank you. I’m sorry. I love you.
[Inhale deeply … exhale fully]
I forgive you. Thank you. I’m sorry. I love you.
[Inhale deeply … exhale fully]
I forgive you. Thank you. I’m sorry. I love you.
[Inhale deeply … exhale fully]
I forgive you. Thank you. I’m sorry. And I love you.
[Inhale deeply … exhale fully]
There, my friend, you have just practiced self-compassion.
Now Remember …
You suck at self-compassion. Forgive yourself. Become more self-compassionate.
smiling,
