Self-Compassion Break
A short kindness practice for moments that already feel hard.
3 min · Mindfulness and acceptance · Guided in the CalmShield app
What it walks you through
Place a hand on your heart, or somewhere that feels kind.
Name what is hard, simply.
Remember this is human.
Offer yourself one kind sentence.
Let the hand rest a moment longer, then continue.
In the app
Each step has what it needs: a timer, a tap counter or a breath pacer. Listen mode reads the steps aloud. At the end you can mark whether it helped, and the app suggests what to try next.
