After the slip

A small recovery ritual for the minutes right after something has gone wrong at work, before you have time to turn it all inward.

  4. A kind next stepWrite
Right after a slip, the body wants either to flee forward or to sink inward. This exercise asks you to do neither, just to pause briefly first.

Exercise in 4 steps, about 11 minutes. Doing it is part of Premium, which you try free for 7 days with no card. With Premium your answers are saved so you can pick up where you left off and look back at what you wrote.

The evidence

Why does it work?

In studies, self-compassion is linked to faster emotional recovery after mistakes and less rumination, without performance dropping. Neff (2003); Neff & Germer (2013).

Account, your first assessment with the hexagon and one new measurement every quarter are free. The rest is part of Premium: SEK 99 a month or SEK 699 a year, VAT included.
