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 with difficult emotions.

Practice mindfulness, gratitude, and acceptance--and feel happier

Embrace your common humanity--you are not alone
