Ever have that moment when you realize that you made a mistake or things did not work out as planned? We all have, but it's important for us to remember that we did the best we could with what we had or the best we could given the situation and to have self compassion. Give members an idea of how they can show self compassion when things don't go as planned. How will you show yourself compassion today?


My idea: When you feel like you've failed, be kind to yourself and remember all the times you were successful and learn from both. From failure we learn success. I will show self-compassion today by taking time out of my schedule today to meditate and focus on things I am grateful for.

I made a meme years ago about this. The puma is mid-leap, and I called it "the beauty of the moment before the fail"...

And it helps remind me that if the end isn't what I wanted, the journey is often the best part anyway.

Ha! A great example of conditional self love, huh?

Secouya, it takes time to reframe our old beliefs. I only get myself in trouble when I begin to list all the past poor decisions. I think we make the best decision we can at any moment based on what we know and feel. Only 20-20 hindsight has us see them differently. Takes time to write over the old tapes. Today, mistakes are just being a human being. Not going to put in any history book or headline. Hugs to all.

    Hiya My internet is changing today and I'm not sure how long the switch over will take, I'm hoping 24 hours at the most, but I'm probably being too optimistic We are changing to another company and going full fibre for the internet. But at least it's changing to the one payment rather than the payment for the home landline phone and a payment for the internet. So I'm not going to be on here...
