Self-compassion Week 4

"The most important relationship you will ever have in your lifetime is the one you have with yourself."

Jay Shetty

Jay Shetty emphasizes throughout his books, posts, videos and podcast how self-love and self-care is not selfish, it is essential for a happy life.  As 2025 ends, consider writing a thank you letter to yourself for self-reflection.  When I receive a note of thanks it brings me joy that I connected with that person. Since you are the most important person in your life, a self-directed thank you can also bring joy. You can write about an accomplishment, or a service that you did this year, or how you expressed love for yourself through self-care. Even if you do not consider yourself a writer – the idea is not for perfection. Journaling about our lives has been researched to aid in healing. Think, this note is just for me. Finish the year with a small tribute to yourself.
