Happy Fertility Friday!
Â
Welcome to this year-long series on inviting more compassion into your life. This is week Five.
Find out why I’m doing this compassion series in Week One (basically I realized I was being mean to myself).
Each week I will go over a new quote as indicated in the book A Year of Living with More Compassion, and I will produce a vlog for you, so you can practice along with me.
This is the fifth week of the series. You can find the rest of the series at the bottom of this post.
Galway Kinell, an American poet, gives us the quote for this week:
“The bud stands for all things, even for those things that don’t flower, for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing; though sometimes it is necessary to reteach a thing its loveliness, to put a hand on its brow of the flower and retell it in words and in touch it is lovely until it flowers again from within, a self-blessing…”
Here is the practice for this week:
1) Each morning upon awakening, set an intention to be kind to yourself.
 2) Begin noticing the number of times you judge yourself throughout the day (be careful not to judge the judging).
3) Say three kind things to yourself.
4) Practice a “self-blessing” (e.g. May I be happy, may I be healthy, etc.).
Hoping you feel more peaceful and more compassionate toward yourself and others after this week’s exercise. I’ll see you next week!
Be well,
-M
