Catalyst
Extend the same grace you offer others to yourself.
Insight
Compassion often begins with the way you treat yourself. When you hold yourself to impossible standards or fill your inner dialogue with criticism, it becomes harder to offer empathy to others. Self-compassion isn’t indulgent; it’s foundational. By easing up on your inner judgment, you expand your ability to meet the world with gentleness and care.
From this grounded place, you can authentically extend that tenderness outward to friends, family, and even strangers. Compassion doesn’t require perfection, it only asks for your willingness to care.
Reflection
How do you speak to yourself compared to how you speak to a trusted friend? What can you do to treat yourself with compassion today?
