"Compassion for others begins with kindness to ourselves." Most of us have very little difficult looking at the struggles of others and finding compassion in our hearts for them. However, when it comes to ourselves, finding forgiveness and compassion is a whole other story. Today, it is time to develop self compassion because you deserve it. First, self compassion is not selfish nor is it vanity. It is the simple act of treating yourself with all the kindness and love that you currently give to your "loved ones". And, in fact, the way you treat, think about, and talk to yourself isn’t just about you. It has a ripple effect that impacts all of your relationships and all of your choices, which is why it’s so important to choose self-compassion whenever possible. Choosing self compassion will change your life and, in a greater sense, the world as well. Today, choose to love and approve of yourself. Choose to forgive yourself when you are not your highest self. Choose to learn from every one of your mistakes, instead of beating yourself up and choose to love and accept yourself no matter what. "Loving and accepting yourself will work miracles in your life."

Just for today, divine peace and divine harmony dwell within me and all around me. I feel tolerance, compassion and love for all people including myself. I forgive myself for every mistake I have every made. I am living the best way I know how. I treat myself as if I am someone I deeply love. And tell myself I love you frequently during this day. I love myself because I am a beloved child of the Universe and the Universe lovingly takes care of me know. Everything is always working out for my highest good. And so it is.
