8th Day of Christmas

Cultivate Compassion: Perspective

“Compassion for ourselves, as well as for others, helps us deal with the interpersonal challenges we face on a daily basis.  Perspective allows us to empathize with others, see the long view, extricate ourselves from the drama of a moment and identify a wider range of responses to an event.”~p. 197, Onward by Elena Aguilar


Compassion:

Makes us more resilient

Makes us healthier and happier

Primes our minds for collaboration

Makes difficult relationships (a tiny bit) easier

Strengthens communities

~pp. 200-203
