Day 4: Adapting to Change

April 20, 2024

“If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.”

Jack Kornfield

Adapting to Change

Today we discuss how adapting to change start with self-awareness and self-compassion. Our challenge during these times are to remain flexible, resilient and adaptive.

“You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”
