Unlock Empathy

Many are hurting right now, and it has never been more critical to cultivate the art of empathy. Learning to stop judging or fixing people is part of the process.

I saw a quote that says, “Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another and feeling with the heart of another.”

In other words, empathy is complete understanding, acknowledgment, and validation of how someone is feeling.

It’s very easy to do. Just put yourself in someone’s place with all your senses. Sit quietly for one minute and put yourself wholly in someone’s shoes. Someone who is suffering.

Feel what they are feeling — true to your core — deep in your heart.

Reach deep and understand. This is how we cultivate empathy.

We need collective empathy as a nation.

Try it today.
