Our emotions, attitudes, and behaviors can have a powerful ripple effect on others.
While we can’t always buffer ourselves from life’s difficulties, we can increase our ability to confront them more effectively by learning to strengthen our emotional resilience.
Take Care of Yourself
Practicing kindness every day can improve your wellbeing and the wellbeing of people around you.
These three meditations will help you let go of negativity and develop compassion toward yourself, others, and the world around you.
Take Care of Each Other
Be kind. Helping others has been scientifically proven to boost your own mood and lengthen your lifespan. Designate a “Kindness Day” once a week, during which you can sprinkle your ordinary activities with extra warmth—holding doors open for others, putting a quarter in an expired parking meter as you walk down the street, treating a coworker to cup of coffee, or taking an extra step and volunteering with a neighborhood or community nonprofit.
