When we are going through something hurtful, distressing, disappointing, we exacerbate the pain by falling into the trap of believing that the distress will continue indefinitely and that this one experience will have a detrimental impact on our lives.

But studies have shown that we are actually poor at predicting how present events will affect our future emotional states and tend to overestimate the future impact of present negative events.

This practice will help you connect with your future self and gain perspective about your current situation.

Tapping into gratitude is a great way to boost your serotonin and oxytocin levels, which is calming, grounding, and enlivening!

It is also a way to expand your connection with others and even bring love in for your not so favorite people (Jedi level!).

Today's practice is all about bringing self-compassion, love, and gratitude to areas in the body that are experienced as unsafe, painful, distressed, or upsetting. When we tap into self-compassion, it can help us to relax, feel more safe, and improve our relationship with our body.

A huge bonus of this practice is that it helps kick self-criticism in the butt!
