7 Day Self-Compassion Challenge

Self-compassion encompasses three main themes including self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. These themes are the source of empowerment and growth that will help you manage stress and increase productivity.

Self-kindness is when we express understanding toward ourselves. We tend to use more patience, encouraging words during our inner dialogue as well as kindly acknowledge that we’re doing the best we can.

Common humanity is the acknowledgement that we are human and we are fallible. There are places in our lives that we are still learning to navigate - common humanity is the theme of showing yourself compassion when you don’t get it right as well as showing compassion toward others when they make a mistake.

Mindfulness happens when we cultivate present awareness without judgment, avoidance, or repression. There are many ways to practice mindfulness from meditation to yoga.

Throughout this challenge you will gain more self-awareness, joy, and balance. Take time for yourself to breathe easy and live more mindfully!

Day 1: Self-compassion Meditation

Day 2: Putting Yourself First

Learning how to say “yes” to yourself can be challenging. Practice honoring yourself by saying yes! What is something you would like to say no to? What is something you would like to do for yourself?

Day 3: Self-kindness

Cultivate a more positive inner voice. What is challenging you? How can you focus on what you have control over? It’s important that we recognize the things we have control over and the things we cannot control. We can control how we handle a situation - how can you use self-kindness to ease stress during a challenge?
