Connect To Your Highest Self

A little distance from the noise can help you hear what matters.
Imagine a version of yourself who has a bit more room to think. This is a visualisation, not another version of you to live up to.
Before you begin
What would that version notice about your day? What would they stop apologising for?
Use these practices somewhere you can pause safely. Keep your breathing comfortable and adjust any instruction that does not suit you. If the practice makes you feel worse, stop and look around the room or choose another activity.
A useful thought
You do not have to become a better person before you can look after the one you are.
Try this as a written reflection
Read the prompt, look around your actual surroundings and write a few lines. You do not need to visualise a clear image. There is no recording attached to this entry at present.

After your pause
What would I tell myself if I could see this with more kindness?
One honest sentence is enough. You do not have to find a lesson or feel different.
