Episode 17: who’s brave enough to go first? more compassion & curiosity, less criticism.
In this episode of the Power by Joy podcast, we explore the concept of being the first to offer compassion and curiosity over judgment and doubt in various situations. We begin by my sharing a personal experience of feeling frustrated when an appointment didn't go as planned, highlighting the challenge of practicing compassion in real-life scenarios.
We reflect on the idea of giving others the "benefit of compassion and curiosity" rather than the "benefit of the doubt," emphasizing the importance of assuming positive intentions and being open to understanding others' perspectives.
Throughout this episode, I encourage you to consider the impact of their reactions on interactions with others, both in everyday encounters and in close relationships. We discuss the power of setting intentions to practice self-compassion and curiosity, offering practical tips for recognizing and reframing negative self-talk.
I will challenge you to take the initiative in offering compassion and curiosity, starting with yourselves and extending it to others. By reframing judgments and assumptions, I suggest that individuals can create more authentic connections and reduce stress and anxiety in their lives.
The episode concludes with a call to action for you to embrace the practice of offering compassion and curiosity as a way to cultivate joy and connection in your lives. I invite you to reach out if you need support in adopting this mindset shift, emphasizing the transformative potential of choosing compassion over judgment.
