Self-compassion

Self-compassion on 

anxious days looks like...

• Not asking yourself "What's wrong with me?" every time anxiety shows up
• Reminding yourself that "I don't have to figure this out right now."
• Not getting frustrated with yourself for wanting reassurance even if you're working on relying on it less
• Letting yourself have a lower capacity day without it meaning that you're falling behind
• Reminding yourself "Of course I want certainty right now. I'm uncomfortable."
• Talking to yourself like someone who is struggling, not someone who needs to be fixed
• Giving yourself what you need in the moment, even if the anxious part of you thinks you should be doing more
• Not judging yourself for having the same anxious thought you've had a hundred times before
• Remembering that having anxiety is hard enough. You don't need to be hard on yourself too.
