- Self-Compassion Letter
* Write a letter to yourself from the perspective of a kind friend. Focus on celebrating your resilience, acknowledging struggles, and encouraging self-love.

* Ask yourself: What does my body need today—rest, movement, nourishment, or connection?
* Reflect on how honoring your needs feels empowering.
- Body Neutrality Mirror Practice
* Stand in front of a mirror and focus on what your body does rather than how it looks. For example, “My legs help me walk and explore.”
