Utilizing compassion and kindness will MAGNIFY the positive results in your personal and professional life. You will instantly begin to feel better about your reactions and help others at the same time.
In order to use both properly, it's important to make the distinction between these two closely related ideas. It has to do with emotion and action. Both are needed to get the result you're looking for.
Compassion is about your emotional response to someone else's situation. It reduces cynicism, employing empathy and relatability. This makes you want to help alleviate their suffering, which leads to the second concept. Kindness is very much an action word. It's your response to that feeling of empathy and it can come in different ways.
Emotion and reaction. The two can act like ripples in a pond, but as I will explain to you today, they need to start with you to yourself.
I'll give you a few examples on the show. In short terms: you need to show yourself kindness. Accept that humans get frustrated, that you're human, and then give yourself permission to simply try again. Start noticing those times that you need compassion; be attentive. Then, start looking for ways to spread that to others.
You'll be amazed at what this can do to your relationship with your co-workers, employees, children, and spouse. And don't be surprised when you start to notice all that you are getting in return–without asking.
