Narrative Compassion

Re-tell a past mistake you made, but from an outsider’s perspective.

Telling your life story from a detached viewpoint provides you space to judge yourself less harshly and experience empathy towards your past self. Analyze the context, motives and even the pressures that led to the mistake you made. Realizing our inherent human propensity for error can engender forgiveness and self-compassion.
