\u201cWhenever possible, be kind. It is always possible.\u201d - Dalai Lama
\nThis is a quote I\u2019ve recited many times. And I have personally, with some surprise, come to believe it\u2019s truth.
\nBut what about someone with a history of trauma?
\nWhat about someone in an abusive relationship?
\nWhat about the victim of violence?
\nAre we to tell these people they should suck it up and be kind? No matter how hard that might be for them?
\nWell, if you work with me, you\u2019ll never be pushed in that way.
\nHowever, it is also undeniable that kindness is beneficial to your health and well-being.
\nSo how do we resolve the two?
\nIn today\u2019s episode, I offer two simple and easy practices that require no more than 7 minutes a day for the next two weeks.
\nI hope you\u2019re able to try them!
