This self-compassion practice focuses on acknowledging your struggles, being with them as an observer and actively participating in being kind to yourself. The crux of this work is about recognizing that you may have things you want to get done or achieve in your life, it may occur to you that striving, pushing and working harder is the right answer, the appropriate path forward. I'd like to challenge you to be kind with yourself, practicing a gentle way of interacting with yourself to increase what is possible, what is accessible to you in any given moment.
