This insightful insta post from should help one set some goals for self compassion.

From the last bits of summer, to the transition into the school year, August is a month of change 🍃 It can be easy in the midst of change to beat ourselves up over where we should be or what we could have done, but all we really have is what’s right in front of us. And right now that is the decision to meet ourselves where we’re at with grace and self-compassion. To remind ourselves that it’s okay not be perfect, to still be figuring it out, and to be doing the best we can, in whatever what that looks like, in this moment. And to trust that that is enough 💕 How are you showing up for yourself this August?

Let's talk about emotional granularity. It is the ability to recognize and label emotions with accuracy. Emotions fall under not just a few broad categories like happy, sad, scared, mad but have many more accurate terms. The knowledge of a much deeper nuanced emotional vocabulary is transformative, since now you can identify, understand and communicate what you feel with more clarity. It enables greater emotional regulation and mental well being.
Identify the emotion and love yourself as you heal.
