Start Here
For tired days. For hurting days. For days when you don’t know what to do.
If you are here because life is difficult, you are not alone.
This site offers a very small practice: three short lines of loving self-talk.
This practice does not promise healing or relief.
It offers a kinder way of meeting what is already here.
How to Begin (30–60 seconds)
- Choose one feeling that is present right now (or choose “despair” if you’re unsure).
- Say the three lines slowly, with a pause after each line.
- Stop after one round. One round is enough.
The Three Lines
1) Noting: There is ______.
2) Owning: This is my ______.
3) Loving: My ______, you are welcome here.
When You Have Very Little Energy
If you can only do one line, do one line.
If you can only do one breath, do one breath.
- There is despair.
- This is my despair.
- My despair, you are welcome here.
You are not doing it wrong if you feel nothing.
You are not doing it wrong if you cry.
You are not doing it wrong if pain remains.
Gentle Safety Rule
If any practice increases distress, stop.
Put a hand where it feels safe (heart, belly, thigh, or simply hold your own hand).
Return to one simple phrase:
“I am here.”
