True compassion is one of the purest of concerns one can have toward a fellow human being. It means you care deeply and can relate to what another person is going through. You can understand what it is like to be in their shoes because you have had similar experiences and this helps you feel closer to them. How can you use your compassion in every area of your life this week?
How the energy of this week affects you in your personal life:
On a personal level, it is important to clarify: are you filled with compassion for yourself? You cannot direct any compassion toward anyone else unless you experience it within first. You are the one who knows the most about what you are going through in your life. Have you given enough thought as to why it is happening to you so you can understand yourself better? Deep care and concern starts with you. Are you giving enough to yourself? No one else can do this for you. If there are things you do not like about yourself, they are not yours to begin with. These are concepts or habits you inherited from your parents in your first seven-year cycle. No matter what you discover, you owe it to yourself to be filled with love and remain gentle even when you acknowledge you would like to improve yourself. This way, you will be working with your own inner support system and will make things happen better and easier for yourself all the time.
How the energy of this week affects you in your business life:
Is there such a thing as compassion in the workplace since it is more of a feeling thing whereas business is more cut and dry with organized facts? Yes, there is! It is up to you to find the right way to use it. For one, it is important to realize whether you are doing your job out of a deep true passion or just to pay bills, etc.? This will show you if you are in touch with your true feelings in your work or not. If you are, you are likely to take all of your customers more seriously because you truly care to give them the best service you can offer. If you have compassion and understanding for them, you can use your personal touch to go the extra mile to make their experience the most rewarding and pleasant it can be. They will know you care and appreciate it many-fold. Without compassion, however well organized, your business will be too mechanical and lack that something special to keep everyone coming back for more. You know what to do: it is the holiday season and you can spread some extra cheer with your true care.
How the energy of this week affects you in your social life:
If you love and care for people around you, you probably have lots of compassion for them. Stay detached from any emotions they may be going through while making yourself available to support them. Have healthy empathy rather than needless sympathy. If you are feeling sorry for them, you have lost your detachment. Watch out not to turn their problems into your own. The key is to show your compassion so they will open up and be more sensitive to you. Feeling close is a mutual process and it takes both sides to participate. Take this opportunity to share with each other what you are compassionate about. You will find even more common ground and inspire you to communicate further so you can unite your efforts. What a fun way to uplift your spirits and make more positive connections with your friends and family.
