Kristin Neff, the self-compassion expert I mentioned earlier, recommends this one: “This is a moment of suffering. May I be kind to myself.” However, personally I prefer something a bit shorter and simpler. My self-compassion catchphrase is “This really hurts. Be kind.” If either of those appeal to you, feel free to use them; but if you prefer to come up with your own phrase, all the better.
