Navigating embarrassing situations is not easy! Today I share a personal and embarrassing story that taught me valuable lessons about self-compassion and the power of words. 

You will learn the three steps to navigate embarrassment:

1. Mindfulness: When faced with an embarrassing situation, bring your attention to the sensations in your body and the thoughts and emotions that arise. Notice any self-critical or negative thoughts that may be surfacing.
2. Common Humanity: Recognize that embarrassment is a universal human experience. Remind yourself that everyone makes mistakes and encounters awkward moments at times.
3. Self-Kindness: Respond to embarrassing situations with self-kindness and self-care. Treat yourself as you would a close friend who is going through a difficult moment.

Navigate embarrassing situations with a compassionate and understanding mindset, allowing yourself to learn and grow from the experience rather than getting caught up in self-judgment.
