Not Taking Things Personally

We can be so quick to take our thoughts, emotions, and mistakes personally, turning them into a reflection of who we are. But so much of our experience is shaped by causes and conditions far beyond our conscious control. Self-compassion helps us acknowledge thiese conditions with greater understanding so that we don't take things so personally, and respond with kindness instead of self-judgment. One powerful way to practice this is through Compassionate Letter Writing, a simple exercise that helps you see yourself through the eyes of a wise and caring friend who can see all the factors that have shaped you and offers compassion instead of blame. Comment "BLOG" and I'll DM you the full blog post along with guidance for practicing Compassionate Letter Writing. #SelfCompassion #Mindfulness #MentalHealth #EmotionalWellbeing #CompassionateLetterWriting #SelfKindness #PersonalGrowth #KristinNeff
