To receive compassion, you need to give compassion. This is the act of practicing compassion. Like anything, the more you practice the better you become at the act. Small acts of care and concern make a difference.
This week, take a few seconds at least once a day to be kind and demonstrate that you care. Asking ‘how are you doing?” and really listening or “Can I help you?” are acts of compassion. Taking a few moments to listen instead of texting can show that you care.
At the end of the week, see how you feel after you practice compassion. My guess is you will feel good!
