COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.

Anxiety is a major stress hormone producing state

"Threats to our standing in the eyes of others are remarkably potent biologically, almost as powerful as those to our very survival."
- Daniel Goleman


Top Tips for giving feedback people can hear:

1 When you start to feel defensive, annoyed, or anxious, apply “The Golden Rule of Triggers”: whatever you feel compelled to do, don't. Instead, take a deep breath and feel your feet. Then you can make a choice about how to respond.

2 Concentrating on a positive outcome rather than avoiding a negative one leads to greater persistence, flexibility, creativity, motivation, and satisfaction. In short, expecting success makes us more likely to succeed.

3 When you feel the need to criticize “constructively”, don’t assume that you’re right. Be curious and open-ended rather than making declarations and coming to conclusions.
