\\nIf you watch my videos, listen to my podcast, or receive emails from me, you hear me say \\u201cI wish you well.\\u201d
\\n
\\nIt is sincere and heartfelt.
\\n
\\nBut it\\u2019s also a practice for me.
\\n
\\nIn contemplative work, we do two different types of practice:
\\n
\\nFormal practice - sitting in posture and meditating.
\\n
\\nInformal practice - adding the practice to our daily activities.
\\n
\\nFor me, sending an email or making a video is a perfect opportunity for this informal practice.
\\n
\\nBefore hitting send, I take a moment and picture the person reading the email or the post or watching/listening to the content, and I feel this compassion in my heart.
\\n
\\nYou can do this with virtually any activity:
\\n
\\nDriving your car, answering the phone, sitting in meetings, standing in line at a grocery store... believe it or not, you can even do it while folding laundry!
\\n
\\nAnd as you do this practice over and over, it becomes an automatic trait for you to ALWAYS feel compassion for others.
\\n
\\nAnd once you do this, like so many of my clients have, things will change in profound ways in your life.
