Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, allowing your body to relax. As you settle into the meditation, gently bring to mind a situation or choice for which you’re struggling to forgive yourself. Acknowledge the emotions and thoughts that arise without judgment, simply observing them as they are. With each breath, silently repeat a phrase of self-compassion, such as “I forgive myself” or “I am worthy of love and understanding.” Visualize these words enveloping you like a warm, comforting embrace
