Low Self-Esteem~10 min

Self-Compassion Worksheet

Practise responding to yourself with the same kindness you would offer a friend — challenging the self-critical voice with compassion.

Preview

When something goes wrong, notice the self-critical voice and then deliberately generate a compassionate response. What would you say to a close friend in the same situation? This isn't about lowering standards — it's about responding to difficulty without adding unnecessary self-punishment.
