Pause
Take a moment to step out of the auto pilot “doing mode” into simply being here and now by bringing awareness to the sensations of the next three breaths.
"You can have compassion for yourself-which is not self-pity. You're simply recognizing that 'this is tough, this hurts,' and bringing the same warmhearted wish for suffering to lessen or end that you would bring to any dear friend grappling with the same pain, upset, or challenges as you." - Rick Hanson
