Self-Compassion Action Plan

Having a self compassion action plan is going to be helpful as you continue to put into practice what you have learned this past month.

This plan is especially helpful on days you find yourself being extra self-critical. In those moments you may have a difficult time remembering what you have learned and this is where this plan comes in handy.

When writing up your plan you will want to include three sections: my triggers, warnings signs, and lastly my plan.

In the first section my triggers you will want to write down what are somethings that you know that trigger your self criticisms and write them down.

The second section, warning signs you are going to write down the signs that let you know you are being critical, maybe it’s an emotion, or a physical sensation you feel when you are critical.

Lastly, your plan. In your plan you want to include the different tools you have learned this past month, from the soothing touch, to deep breathing, and journal/letter writing. Pick whatever was most helpful for you.
