Offer Yourself Empathy

We're quick to empathize with other people, but sometimes it can be hard to do it with ourselves. Today's meditation is a practice in observing and identifying your emotions through self-empathy.

Takeaways:
1- Empathy is recognizing and identifying your feelings.
2- To feel empathy for ourselves is to know that our feelings are part of being human.
3- Reflect on an emotion, and notice where it might be coming from and what you can offer yourself, the same way you would a friend.
