Resources & Next Steps:
- Practice Self-Compassion: If you find yourself being overly critical, consciously make an effort to show yourself compassion. Write a letter to yourself giving the same advice you’d give to a friend.
- Develop a Ritual: Create a simple daily ritual in honour of someone you've lost. This could be lighting a candle and spending a few moments in silence, going for a walk they enjoyed, or making their favourite recipe.
- Ben (somatic massage guy) - his website doesn't do him justice - he's AMAZING! http://benbarnett.co.uk/
