Doctrine of Self-Compassion

Write a letter to a loved one who’s struggling with self-doubt, offering them encouragement and support. Then, read the letter to yourself.

Writing a compassionate letter to a struggling friend and then reading it back allows you to direct that same compassion towards yourself. This prompt underscores the power of self-compassion in confronting and overcoming self-doubt.
