Fuel Up with Compassion

In today's episode of The Happiness Squad, Ashish and Anil guide you through another daily practice you can use to lead a more purposeful life. Today's exercise is fueling up with compassion. It's incredibly important to acknowledge this, especially at the start of someone's journey into self discovery. There are clear benefits to giving ourselves self permission to make mistakes and grow in the process. This practice begins with you - you stoke the flame of self love and compassion from the moment you wake up till the end of your day. Only through self compassion are you able to offer kindness and generosity to others. The Dalai Lama has said that love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot exist. Ashish and Anil share personal and professional reflections to illustrate how critical this practice is for embracing our inner critic, and taking the advice, but not the abuse.

Join Ashish and Anil for this fascinating discussion.


What You’ll Learn in this Show:

  • The idea of compassion and why it's important.
  • The concept of imposter syndrome.
  • Why you can’t shun your inner critic.
  • The importance of being our authentic selves.
