Practice Compassion



1.      Find a situation in which you feel no compassion. Write or talk about the behaviour but not the motivation behind it.

2.      See the part of you (or of the other person) that is struggling.

3.      Address that part with “Oh, dear. You are struggling.”

4.      Ask, “What is making this so hard?”

5.      Listen to the answer.

6.      Say, “You are right. That is hard.” Stop there.

7.      What does it feel like to end it there?
