Journal Prompts:

  • What does self-compassion mean to you? What is your relationship with self- compassion? Does self-compassion come easy to you or is this something you want to begin to become more conscious of? 

  • Do you find it easier to be compassionate to others more than it is to yourself? If so, explore why this is. 

  • Think of a time when you made a mistake and you got upset with yourself. This could be recent or from your past. What words of self-compassion could you offer yourself now? What words of kindness can you offer to yourself?
