Greetings Village,
It’s February, and according to the CDC it is American Heart Month. This is where we can focus on our cardiovascular health (i.e. our heart health).
I am not going to inundate you with writings of diet, exercise, and sleep. No, I am taking a different approach to heart health this year.
Empathy…
(In case you need it, here’s a refresher on empathy…)
This is one of my favorite clips. I come back to it often to remind myself of the importance of empathy for connection and healing in relationships.
As we think of February as a time to reflect and work on our heart health. I want to challenge my village in utilizing empathy to help the collective heart health of not only our personal relationships, but also those in our communities as well.
With this in mind…
Where can you exercise empathy in your daily life?
With whom?
And in what situations?
I do believe practicing empathy has a real power in healing, not only for those around us, but our own heart health too.
With much love and gratitude,
Lesley
P.S. What did you think of the video clip? I’d love to hear your takeaway.
