Good self-care will increase...
Step 1. Practice Self Compassion
Self-compassion is a skill that can be learned over time with practice. The Self-Compassion Guidebook helps hospice palliative care clinicians and staff increase resilience around their own feelings of grief and loss.
The Self-Compassion Guidebook was developed by the Champlain Hospice Palliative Care Program and its Bereavement Leadership Team. The Self-Compassion Guidebook can be used by those working in many settings.
Step 2. Create a Six-Word Story
On overwhelming days, you can take out your six word self-compassion story and gently read it to yourself. It’s a six-word message you write about something kind you can do for yourself when you’re struggling. Watch the video to learn more.
Step 3. Practice the Dear Friend and Hands On Heart activities
Self-compassion is a lot like developing any other skill, like painting or playing the guitar. You need to practice! It’s not a trait that you either have or don’t have. Watch the video to learn more.
Self-Compassion Hands on Heart Practice
A simple and nourishing self-compassion exercise called Hands on Heart. You can do it when you’re feeling overwhelmed, when your to-do list is way too long, or just whenever you notice that you’re really struggling.
