Mindfulness: Practicing Empathy for Better Conversations | Home Base Program

Empathy, at its core, is understanding. In a world where time is a scarce resource, and everyone seems to be running after something, it has become increasingly difficult for many of us to exercise patience and listen to others.

Empathy is often considered the highest form of communication. It’s also important to remember to practice empathy toward oneself. Self-empathy, understanding, and caring for you, is key to taking care of yourself. When you understand yourself and make time to do take care of yourself, you are more open to understanding others.
