Living with your Heart Wide Open:
“Caring for ourselves in relationships with others is another way to cultivate self-compassion.
Do you really need to remain in relationships that make you feel small or less alive?
Do you really need to accommodate yet another phone conversation with the “friend” who calls you only when she needs advice or reassurance?
Do you always have to accommodate lunch invitations from a coworker who likes to gossip about the other people in your workplace?
Why not try discouraging relationships that feel like they deplete you and nourishing relationships that make you feel loved and appreciated and bring out the best in you?
We are meant to love one another and care for one another in the deepest sense, and cultivating relationships that manifest these qualities is the very heart of self-compassion.”
