03. Encouragement
Is someone around you often showing you or telling you they’re
unsure if they have what it takes to follow a certain path they desire?
The response most people say is, “But you’re great…” “Why would
you feel this way when…” But, that isn’t the best way to approach that
conversation, sometimes. Encouragement in the form of compassion
could get a loved one out of a funk. Not everyone is looking for a pity
party when they open up to you. Sometimes, they’re really needing a
listening ear that is ready to embrace them in all their glory.

The Gratitude List You Need for Self-Compassion
01. Journal: Start a gratitude journal and document every day ways you
will show compassion to yourself. Make sure you’re writing in the
present tense! “I am..”
02. Kindness: Have you done your small act of kindness for the day? If
not, it’s never too late in the day to show someone you care.
03. Be Resilient: Are you having those moments where you’re thinking
negatively? Replace any negative thought that comes your way with
an affirmation.
04. Generosity: Are you stingy with your kindness? Do you only do it
for reciprocity?
01. Yourself:
What does kindness mean to you?
02. Community:
Gratitude is an act of generosity. Spend the time to be present to the
people in your life. See the mailman when they’re delivering your mail
every day? Smile at them and wish them a good day. You never know
how this simple act can change someone’s mood.
