1. Set a Positive Intention for Healing
Write down your healing intention that includes the phrase for the Highest Good, along with anything that supports what you most want to experience.
2. Breathe and Be In Your Body
Use some natural, slow or somatic breathing.
3. Recall a Time of Compassion Fatigue
Close your eyes and think about the last time you ignored your own needs or pushed through when you were already exhausted. (It could be right now.) As you reflect on this experience, ask yourself these questions:
Did I feel like I had to keep going? Why?
Was there any part of me that felt unworthy of rest or support?
What did I believe about myself in that experience?
Write down any statements that come up. Let yourself just write whatever comes up.
Examples:
I’m not allowed to rest until everything’s done.
I have to save everyone.
Other people need me more than I need me.
No one’s coming to help, so I just have to keep going.
When I was little I was told it was kind to take care of others first.
4. Meet Your Fatigue with Great Love
Choose one belief that held you back from taking care of yourself.
Gently say:
I hear you.
I understand why you believe this.
You’ve been trying to protect me.
Pause. And continue:
And I am worthy of care.
I am worthy of rest.
I deserve love, not because I’ve earned it, but because I exist.
Place a hand over your heart. Breathe this truth in. Breathe in and be filled with your Loving and Compassion.
5. Rewire with Self-Forgiveness
Keep the hand over your heart, and say:
I forgive myself for buying into the misbelief that… (share a misbelief you wrote down above)
Keep going through the misbeliefs you wrote down. Complete the rewiring with the truth:
And the truth is that I am… (share your truth here)
Continue to share statements of truth until you feel lighter, still, warm and complete.
6. Thank and Reward Yourself
Thank yourself and treat yourself with what feels good to you.
