What is a gratitude journal?

A gratitude journal is a form of mindfulness practice that involves writing down things you are grateful for every day. This promotes a positive attitude and draws attention to the positive aspects of life.

What is self-compassion?

Self-compassion is an important component of mindfulness and refers to the kind and compassionate way we treat ourselves and respond to our own needs and weaknesses. Essentially, it's about treating yourself the way you would treat a friend in trouble. Self-compassion means recognizing and accepting our own shortcomings and being gentle and compassionate with ourselves in times of pain and suffering.
