Twelve steps to a compassionate life
In my year of One Word 2014: Compassion, I’m practicing one step per month from Karen Armstrong’s Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life.
- Learn about compassion
How do you stay soft in a hard world? - Look at your own world
Does it matter? - Compassion for yourself
Practice on yourself - Empathy
Go toward, not away - Mindfulness
It matters to me; does it to you? - Action
First you listen, then you act - How little we know
“I’m not sure”—Is that compassionate? - How should we speak to one another?
Change your tone - Concern for everybody
When we are different - Knowledge
Don’t take my word for it - Recognition
Don’t look away - Love your enemies
Compassion for an enemy?
