Compassionate Letter to One-Self

• All of us have feelings of inadequacy.
• Identify something about yourself that causes you to feel shame, guilt, to feel insecure, or not “good enough,” preferably something that is a source of privilege or disadvantage.
• Now think about an imaginary friend who is unconditionally loving, accepting, kind and compassionate.
• Write a letter to yourself from the perspective of this imaginary friend – focusing on the perceived inadequacy you tend to judge yourself for, from the perspective of unlimited compassion.
• After writing the letter, put it down for a little while.
• Then come back and read it again, and let the words sink in.
• Feel the compassion as it pours into you.
