Compassion Is a Strategy
Falling off track doesn’t mean you’ve failed.
It means you’re human.
Research consistently shows that self-compassion improves motivation, emotional regulation, and long-term behavior change. Shame shuts us down—kindness keeps us moving.
Your wellness goals should support your nervous system, not overwhelm it.
Let compassion be part of the plan for 2026. https://getcenteredcounselingstl.com/setting-wellness-goals-for-the-new-year-a-whole-person-approach/
