There, There, Sweetheart

There, There, Sweetheart
There, There, Sweetheart
Sparked!
There, There, Sweetheart

I resisted a self-compassion practice for years. It’s three words, There, there, sweetheart, and it slowly softened the armor around my heart. I share the Buddhist image of the two wings of the bird, wisdom and loving kindness, and why one wing was never going to be enough. And I give you a simple place to start: noticing how you talk to yourself the tenth time you drop your phone in a day.Find me on Substack: https://carabradley.substack.comAnd YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sparkedwithcara
