Do it not to feel better, but because you feel bad. I love that. I need that.

This really left a mark on me. My negative self-talk is so automatic and ingrained in me that I find it very hard to respond to hard situations with self-compassion. The fact that you highlighted mindfulness is eye-opening because I truly do need that pause to reflect and turn the tide against the rising negative emotions.

The way reading this brings tears to my eyes. I’m a huge advocate for self compassion…for others. Working on reminding myself too. Thank you.
