How to Turn Stress & Frustration into Compassion: Tips for Tough Holiday Moments & Beyond
Manage episode 451088804 series 3519374
In this episode, we dive into how mindfulness and self-awareness can help you stay calm and compassionate, even during the most stressful moments—whether it’s the chaos of the holiday season or the tensions following a polarized election period.
We’ll share simple ways to shift from frustration to empathy in everyday situations—like being stuck behind a distracted driver—and how this mindset shift and analogy can translate into more difficult moments. We also talk about Metta meditation, or Loving-Kindness, a powerful practice that helps you build kindness and understanding, not just for others, but for yourself, too.
If you’re ready to handle stress & frustration with more grace and inner-peace, this episode is for you!
