Part of learning to be compassionate with ourselves is learning to embrace all of your emotions. 2/2 #365daysofcompassion #Emotions

Many of us might discover that as adults we feel uncomfortable about certain emotions. Sometimes we feel afraid to feel certain things. We find all sorts of ways to avoid this discomfort. The downside is this blocks our emotions from helping us. 1/2 #365daysofcompassion #Emotions

Trust that deep down inside, you know what you really need. #365daysofcompassion #mentalhealth

It is all too easy to get into the habit of occupying our minds. It is harder to develop a habit of settling our minds. Yet it’s so worth the effort - it’s often through settling our minds we can find our way to balance in the midst of our busy lives. #365daysofcompassion

If you find you just can’t today, don’t despair. Don’t stamp, or storm, or cry. Take yourself in your arms and ask: “my dear one, what is it you need to help you get going?”. Remind yourself, “I’m here for you. Together, we’ll find a way through.” #365daysofcompassion

Just because you feel it, doesn’t mean it’s true! Your threat-based #emotions work on a better safe than sorry basis. They’ll show up when there’s the possibility of danger. Listen to them, though remember they’re offering advice rather than instructions. #365daysofcompassion
