I recently had the chance to go to with a client who had been in a rehabilitation center in Boca Raton, Florida who was recovering from a broken hip.
After I walked in the room, her eyes lit up and she said, "What are you doing here?"
"I came to see you because I care about you, and I want to see how you are feeling." I reacted.
We spoke for over one hour about her thoughts on her therapy, the facility's food, for after she returned home, and her plans.
It made me feel really great that I possibly could show her love and kindness. It made a large impact along with her, although stopping by to see was such a small act from me.
We consider that empathy makes all of the difference. There are lots of approaches to show compassion plus they're able to be as simple as calling to check on someone who we understand is sick, or by visiting with him or her if they're in the hospital. Showing empathy can also not be as difficult as taking the time to actually listen to others. We get so caught up in attempting to "fix" everything, when often times, people simply need someone to listen to them, understand that they're heard, which their feelings are validated.
I challenge you to be the definition of empathy also to demonstrate love and kindness toward everyone you meet.
