Core to many of the world’s religions and spiritual thinking is the idea of compassion, but is there a way to develop this without having to live in a monastery for a few lifetimes? Try these tops tips:
1) If someone has done something and you have got yourself (or more precisely 'are dûing' - see www.duing.org) annoyed, then pause and ask if they intended to have you become upset. If not let it go.
2) If you think they did intend to have you become upset, pause and ask, ‘is dûing upset part of my plan for today?’ - decide to not take their kind invitation to derail your day and move on.
3) If you are not being nice or compassionate to yourself ask, ‘if I treated my friends like I am treating myself, then, would I have any?’ – decide to treat yourself like someone you care about.
