Treat yourself with kindness! Use this guided journal to develop the
skills of self-compassion: embrace your identity, overcome
self-criticism, practice mindfulness, cope with self-doubt, and deal

Self-compassion is an essential skill for young adults--it relieves
anxiety, lessens depression, improves overall emotional well-being, and
helps you to connect more genuinely with others. This interactive guided
journal offers more than 100 prompts and exercises to help:
Understand who you are and embrace your whole self
Quiet your inner critic and forgive your own mistakes
Accept and process difficult feelings--learn how to be kind to yourself
especially when you're feeling bad, sad, or mad
Practice mindfulness, gratitude, and acceptance--and feel happier
Embrace your common humanity--you are not alone
Ideal for teens, young adults and up, and compatible with CBT, DBT, and
ACT principles, this guided journal takes readers on a journey of
self-disovery and self-love, teaching practical, life-changing skills.
"In this journal, you'll learn science-based techniques from an ace
teacher and therapist who will help you reduce stress, boost resiliency,
and avoid our societal siren calls of distraction, disconnection, and
dissatisfaction." --Dan Harris, Co-founder and author of Ten Percent
Happier
