  1. empathy. Seeing the situation out of their eyes and trule understanding and accepting what it is. Their motives and so on.
    Reminding myself of the similarities and how difficult it must be for the other one.

  4. I’m currently dealing with being provoked/annoyed/angry with my mother. She hasn’t been doing well for a minute now, and I can find myself getting so frustrated because it’s really hard to see her in pain. But I know that there are just so many things that she isn’t aware of right now, and that literally the best thing I can do for her is to just unconditionally love and support her, hold the space for her since she isn’t quite able to hold it herself yet. What can I do to be benevolent even when I’m frustrated? I can realise that she is trying her absolute best, that she doesn’t want to be in pain anymore than I want to see her in pain. I can see the situation in reverse and put myself in her shoes. What would I want if I was feeling low? I would want to know that I am loved, and supported and never alone no matter what. When I think of myself as her, and when I imagine what she is going through, I am surrounded in compassion for her. Compassion and the hope/belief that things will get better.
