These past few months at work have been interesting to say the least, with the arrival of some new temporary staff. Everyone handles stress different, and reacts accordingly as well. I've also noticed how much having compassion and empathy can affect things. People tend to react more positively when you put yourself in their shoes, and sometimes, just a smile and some understanding can make all the tension disappear.
But this also comes into play in our Kung fu and with our families. Compassion when we teach makes a huge difference, as we can better understand our students needs, and at the same time, compassion to ourselves on our journey. It doesn't take much to get discouraged,but if we are compassionate to ourselves, we can take some pressure off, and find our feet once again.
I have definitely been more aware of using compassion in my daily life recently, and I am learning a lot.
