Think back to the last time you were going through a really difficult time. Perhaps you were finding something challenging in motherhood, or there was a difficult patch you were trying to navigate. These times can be anxiety provoking and painful.
Whilst you're going through this experience, think about what type of friend you want by your side. Would you want your friend to tell you to "get over it, you'll be fine", or "other mothers can get through this, why is this so difficult for you?". Or would you want the type of friend who says "Hey, you're doing great, this is really hard stuff" and "every mother would find this difficult", maybe even "I've got you". The second friend would definately be the one you'd want by your side! This friend was being compassionate.
In this guide I want to introduce you to the concept of compassion, and walk you through some simple ways to be compassionate towards yourself. Motherhood is no doubt one of the most difficult things we do. However we love our kids wholeheartedly and that keeps us going. I want to show you that you can direct some of that wholeheartedness towards yourself. I get how hard this can be, so take time now to see that when we go through these hard times, we can do it whilst experiencing kindness and love.
