This quiz, developed by Dr. Kristin Neff, determines how self-compassionate you are and helps you increase your self-compassion awareness. Learn how to be kinder to yourself, or at least be more aware of the little voice inside your head.
A series of practices that will help you become kinder to yourself. My favourite is the 5-minute Self-Compassion Break.

Julie Cameron, the author of The Artist’s Way, shares a powerful practice which she describes as “three pages of longhand, stream of consciousness writing, done first thing in the morning. There is no wrong way to do Morning Pages–they are not high art. They are not even writing. They are about anything and everything that crosses your mind and are for your eyes only. Morning Pages provoke, clarify, comfort, cajole, prioritize and synchronize the day at hand. Do not over-think Morning Pages; just put three pages of anything on the page…and then do three more pages tomorrow.”
