Truly. I don’t know why we stray away from things that feed self compassion. We truly are our own worst critics. At a baseline, I think we have to ask ourselves “how would i treat my friend?” Sometimes we need to remember to treat ourselves as friend rather than enemy

That is truly sacred work when, as you said, we recognize the connection between a person’s lived experiences and who they have become as a result. I am also glad to hear that you understand that though being a holder of stories is a privilege, it also takes a toll. Recognizing the cost is an important step in living wisely in this role!

Are there practices that can/do help you (us) fuel self compassion?

Didn’t include that in my list of reasons for value violation, but definitely should have! Please, perfect, perform… three of my subconscious p’s, lol!

I also really appreciate your framing around grief leading to violating our values. And I agree, being so gentle and tender with ourselves and our pain is so very important!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and values, Justin!

I was especially struck by “Sometimes violating these values is a result of grief.” Wow, I sense there is just so much grief right now – residual grief from the covid pandemic, grief from widespread natural disasters, from broken relationships and eroding institutions, from the chaos and unpredictability of our world …

We all need compassion right now. For ourselves and for those around us. We’re all struggling with something.
