Hello, Word Artists and Admirers! Miss Magaly asked me to fill in for her this week and the topic of self-empathy. Admittedly, I didn't know all that much about the topic. But I'm always game to learn more! So from the article she gave as a reference:
Self-compassion involves treating yourself with the same kindness, concern, and support you’d show to a good friend.
Inquisitive person that I am, I found another article that talked about techniques to build self-empathy. I already make sure I'm around positive, supportive people, but I know I could be better about showing myself kindness.
So this week's optional prompt is to explore the concept of self-empathy in your pieces. Prose or poetry will do, as will fiction or non-fiction. Just be sure to keep it to 369 words or fewer and one piece per person please.
Next week, Magaly will return to tackle the topic of misunderstood words or misconceptions.
