Thank you to Grove Collaborative for partnering with me on this post!
What are some ways you show compassion? Compassion is something that can be grown, all it takes is planting little seeds here and there!
There are plenty of examples that come to mind when I think of how to give back in ways big and small: holding the door for someone, texting a loved one and telling them you’re thankful for them, helping someone clean or tidy when they’re in a busy season of life, or lending a listening ear to someone who just needs a trustworthy friend. There are tons of ways to show compassion, and it truly is the “little things”!
Since the beginning of this space here online at My Life Well Loved, I have wanted to encourage and spark compassion as a community. The last few years we have joined together with the “Fall Into Giving Back” initiative where, as a community, we have spent 30 days focused on giving back to those around us during the fall season. Then again, during the holidays, we joined together for “Girl Gang Gives Back”, donating over 1,000 blankets to kids in foster care and adopting families to cover expenses for the holiday season.
As a mom, it’s really important to me that my kids see me making this daily choice to show compassion — whether through my actions, the words I’m speaking, or just being a good steward of our resources. My hope and prayer is to ingrain the importance of kindness and generosity so my boys are empowered to give back to their friends, their neighbors, and their loved ones even now at ages 5 and 2!
I know I will fail at this daily because life gets busy and we are quick to fall short so I created an easy list to keep handy for those days when I need a fun way to give back to those around me!
