And that’s awesome that you can recognize that in yourself because that’s the first step to making any changes or improvements! Empathy is hard in all cases, but I think it’s certainly important to pinpoint where we do show it and then continue to work on areas where we don’t.

I have read that too! I think I saw it in Real Simple magazine actually haha. Gosh that magazine is just such a life inspiration. And you’re right, I definitely feel more connected when I don’t have the distraction of social media.

i love all of these recommendations. i think empathy is so important. when in an interview, if someone asks what is my greatest weakness, it is most definitely empathy. often times when someone needs to make a late payment, i’m the one that empathizes and tells them we understand. it’s not a terrible downfall, but i definitely do feel compassion toward other humans around me.

Truest thing I’ve read all week. Love this, thanks for sharing. Incidentally there was a study done recently (I think I found it via a cup of Jo,) about how interactions in which we don’t even have our cell phones visible are more gratifying and enjoyed than when you have a phone, say, out on a table (even if you don’t use it.) I think I’ve found a new habit to get into :)
