Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

- When I’m down on myself, "other people struggle too" just bounces off
- My care basically stops at the edge of my own small circle
- I’m weighing a choice and I notice I’m only asking what’s best for me, then quietly building a clever story for why that’s also fine for everyone
- There’s this one thing I’ve never said out loud to anyone
Practices that may help
- Common Humanity, Made Practical

Activating this awareness interrupts shame's isolating story and reduces its intensity. It has observational support as a component of the self-compassion construct and is taught across evidence-based programs including MSC. - Shared condition meditation
