With things being as challenging as they are right now, many of us are struggling for a number of different reasons. As we continue to navigate this difficult time and do what we can to support those around us, it’s really important to operate with compassion. On this episode, we discuss specific ways to embrace compassion and practice forgiveness – both with ourselves and with others. These things aren’t always easy, especially these days, but they’re essential for our own self-care and for the well-being of the people with whom we work and live.
Things are hard right now for me, just about everyone I know, and the vast majority of us. Although Thanksgiving is this week here in the US and we’re entering the holiday season, it’s challenging for many of us to get into a festive mood with the coronavirus spiking, and all of the ramifications that entails. On this episode, I talk about the importance of embracing where we are, giving ourselves permission to not be okay right now, and having compassion for ourselves and others during this difficult time. I also talk about how and why embracing gratitude authentically right now is so important, although not that easy.
The late Senator from New York, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, famously said, “You’re entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.” These words are as true and important as ever right now. On this episode, I share my thoughts on the Presidential election results, and more broadly, on the importance of truth in our relationships, our teams, our society, and in life in general. For us to come together and create positive change, we have to be dealing with the same set of facts.
Now that the election is over, it’s important for us to focus on the hard work of coming together. What has been reinforced in recent days, weeks, and months is how divided we are as a nation. This division doesn’t serve us and is incredibly detrimental to so many aspects of life and society. On this episode, I share my reflections on where we are right now and offer some specific ideas of what we can do personally to create more unity and togetherness in our families, teams, communities, and our country.
This has been an extraordinary week here in the United States with an unprecedented Presidential election. And, while at the time of recording and posting this episode the final results of the election are not in, what has been reinforced by how it is playing out, is that we’re a deeply divided nation. On this episode, I share my thoughts about the election, where we are, and how we move forward on the other side of this.
