Hey, are you busy?
We should probably talk about
How you talk about yourself
I think that you should cut it out
OK, so you did something bad
That doesn’t mean that you should be addressed any worse than your friends
There are ups and downs in this thing called life
Sometimes we get it wrong, sometimes we get it right
People make mistakes every day and every night
There’s things about yourself you want to change that maybe you don’t like
But compassion is the key; it’s when you’re kind and understanding
About someone else’s problems they’ve been handed
Have some compassion for yourself—I’m here to give reminders:
The first part of having self-compassion is self-kindness
You deserve respect like anybody on the planet
Yeah, no matter what, I really hope you understand it
And speaking of the planet, everybody on it
Sometimes messes up, you gotta keep on going
It’s part of being human; it’s a part of living
Once you recognize it, then you’ll start forgiving
Yourself for your mistakes; you are not the enemy
Yeah, messing up is a part of your humanity
Here’s the last thing that I need you to remember:
Your feelings are important, so please do not pretend they’re
Not a big deal or that they’re not real
People should respect different ways that you feel
So if you’re feeling angry or a little down
You should know that feelings are allowed
Give yourself a moment just to think, or maybe you can chat about it
Over time I hope that you’ll forget about it
When you acknowledge your feelings, that’s called mindfulness
It’s so important that I had to write a rhyme for this
Yeah, now let’s put it all together:
Compassion for yourself makes your life a lot better
(x4 ) You might mess up, but just keep at it
Love yourself, and don’t forget it
If you practice compassion for everybody else
Why not have some compassion for yourself?
