Days You Did Your Best

14 min

Best for: perfectionism and harsh self-judgement

This self-compassion session helps you release the quiet ritual of marking the day against itself, the unsent reply, the call not made, the harder-than-expected hours. Through guided breath and reflective inquiry, you'll practise meeting your effort with the same understanding you'd offer a friend. The practice draws on Kristin Neff's self-compassion framework, distinguishing between self-judgement and clear-eyed kindness. You'll leave with a softer relationship to a day that asked more of you than it gave back.
