Current read ❤️🥰 “As we learn more about our brains and minds, we are coming to realize that they two need certain types of ‘input’ to function well. As we will see, compassion is like a multivitamin for the mind. In the centuries to come, a better understanding of the kinds of inputs and social relationships that ‘feed’ and ‘nurture’ the brain is needed, along with political courage to advance and mentally healthy society. So before we explore how to train our minds and work through ‘brain training’ exercises, we need to capture the right spirit of non-blame and kindness. We need to really grass why we are not to blame for much of what goes on in our minds, and why developing compassion is the road to a better regulated mind.” - Paul Gilbert ✨✨ this one hit hard ; I find that I have to remind myself and clients consistently that growing and helping is an admirable journey but REQUIRES compassion for self and others. 🙌🏻🙏🏻
