Let’s take extra special care of ourselves as well as others

As we approach and pass through the upcoming holiday season, let’s take extra special care of ourselves as well as others. Holiday resolutions often come and go. Instead, let’s adopt some healthy approaches to being kind and gentle to ourselves, and make them stick as wholesome habits. Compassion is a win-win endeavor. The recipient of our compassion wins by receiving the fruits of our compassion. We also win, by bathing in the joy of compassion, lifting our spirits. We are all brothers and sisters in this human family. The more we remember this fact, the better our relationships are with others and with ourselves! Another win-win situation. Remember every time we meet someone, “she or he, just like me, wants to be happy and not hurt.”
