As I continue to deepen my practice of the middle path, the more this issue of self-compassion arises. It came up in conversation just a week or so ago… How is it that it’s so easy to have compassion for strangers, and yet so difficult to express it to those closest to us, and more so with ourselves. It’s easy to say “love yourself”, the excuses to not do so are endless. And as you mention, partly come from comparing ourselves to an unattainable external standard we all face. I struggle with it everyday. Thanks for your words.

Thank you for this! I am in the process of ‘staying with myself’ as we speak and it’s the best thing anyone can do for themselves.

@ Rose Burd, I know what you are feeling and going through! Don’t ignore the pain. Accept it, go through it and live through. Don’t resist! Just remember, no matter how painful, there’s something greater behind it that will manifest as long as you allow yourself some love and truth. You’ll feel better for it. Love yourself!

With love

I am so glad that these words came to your heart at just the right time. I never know who I am writing to, but am always so grateful to hear when my searching finds a home. Give in to the pain and watch it move through you. It will change your perspective on everything.
thanks for writing.
Wendy

So much to think about with all the words you wrote.
In the midst of my painful experience, I find it very difficult to not self-doubt, and think that there’s something lacking or not right with me. Resisting the outcome of the experience comes so naturally, while giving up the resistance almost feels like I’m throwing in the towel. I guess I have some work to do…

This message is so timely. I am in day 2 of suffering a broken engagement. Pain is running high. Your words offer some balm and reminder to return to myself. Thank you. I had not recognized my resistance to this experience. So grateful to have your wisdom come with graceful precision.
Rose Burd

It all begins with how we love ourselves and the stories we tell about ourselves. What bliss to learn to just accept what is.
