"If we can recognize suffering, and if we embrace it and look deeply into its roots, then we’ll be able to let go of the habits that feed it and, at the same time, find a way to happiness. Suffering has its beneficial aspects. It can be an excellent teacher."
-Thich Nhat Hanh (No Mud, No Lotus)

Self-Compassion by Kristin Neff, Ph.D. PRX

04/27/2026

Self-compassion isn’t only about soothing yourself. It is also about standing firmly on your own behalf.

There are moments when care looks like softness, and moments when it looks like strength. When you honor your limits, speak your truth, or choose what truly supports your well-being, you are practicing a deeper kind of compassion. One that protects, empowers, and restores justice.

✨ Where in your life might self-compassion be asking you to be a little more fierce right now?
