Journal Prompts: Self-Compassion in Difficult Times

“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”
Buddha

Prompts:

  1. When I’m feeling low, how can I show myself kindness and understanding?
  2. What’s one thing I can forgive myself for, no matter how small?
  3. How do I talk to myself when I make a mistake? How can I shift this self-talk to be more compassionate?
  4. Who or what inspires me to practice self-compassion? How can I carry this forward in my life?
  5. What’s one thing I appreciate about myself today, even if it’s just a small victory?
