Self Compassion Exercises

[Azek]

I regret not being able to contribute on the forums, so I hope this endorsement can help some people out there struggling with depression.

Search for "self compassion" and the first result should be this:

https://self-compassion.org/

I encourage people to have a look at the concept and read what it is about. You will see there is a tab for exercises, and I've used the self compassion journal on and off for almost 18 months, and have returned to it recently after a downturn in mood.

If you struggle with depression, self esteem, schemas, loss of hope, regret, self hatred, or anger among other things, I really encourage you to have a read about this concept, and most importantly realise:

you yourself are just as worthy of compassion and kindness as any other person.

Hi Azek

Welcome to the bb forum.

Thank you for the recommendation and the really important reminder about self-compassion. It’s something I’m very conscious of, as I’m working through some feelings of regret.

I am really pleased that the exercises are helping you. I’m going to have a read of the materials as I think it could be helpful to me, too.

Kind thoughts to you
