6. Self-Compassion Check-Ins

Taking a moment each day to check in with yourself nurtures emotional resilience. Pause, ask how you’re feeling, and respond with words of kindness rather than criticism. Simple self-affirmations like “I am doing my best” or “It’s okay to take a break” can replace harsh self-talk. Studies shared by Greater Good Science Center show that self-compassion boosts self-esteem and emotional well-being.
