Be Compassionate
Self-compassion is about being a kind and understanding friend to yourself, especially during life's harder moments.
Self-compassion can be described as a boat sailing through changing waters; when it encounters rough seas, it doesn't fight against the waves. Instead, it adjusts its sails, using the wind's power to navigate and maintain control.
This metaphor beautifully illustrates how practising self-compassion allows us to gracefully steer through life's challenges. By acknowledging when we're struggling without harshly judging ourselves, we're adjusting our sails, making it possible to move forward with ease and resilience.
