4. An act of self-compassion Jason navigates to the TextCompassion social website and sees that he has completed his self-selected act of compassion once. Jason has calmed down, and realizes that his act of self-compassion will help him manage the tons of work he has left. Jason has been working extremely hard all day long, and it still feels as if he has barely made a dent in his work. He realizes that he is going to have to stay up for several extra hours to catch up. Jason receives a text. It says, “Take one minute out to be self-compassionate in the way that you have chosen. You’ve been working hard. Text back how many times you’ve been self-compassionate today.” Right then and there, Jason pulls out his headphones and plays a new song that his favorite artist just released. He then texts back “1” to the TextCompassion number. He sees another person has completed a five minute walk twice, and thinks that that will be his next self-compassionate act.
