Self-Compassion Practice Exercise

I'd like to practice self-compassion. Could you guide me through an exercise based on Kristin Neff's three components of self-compassion (self-kindness vs. self-judgment, common humanity vs. isolation, and mindfulness vs. over-identification)? I'm struggling with [briefly describe your situation or feeling of inadequacy]. Please help me:

1. Acknowledge my difficult feelings without judgment
2. Recognize that others also experience similar struggles (I'm not alone)
3. Hold my emotions in balanced awareness without suppressing or exaggerating them
4. Craft a kind and supportive message I can say to myself, as if I were speaking to a good friend

Keep your guidance gentle and conversational.
