Self-
Compassion:
The Key To
Loving The
World
Written by Kathryn Ford, MD
C
Compassion, whether for
others or for oneself, means responding with
loving kindness to the pain that is as much a
part of life as joy. Yet, while compassion for
others comes naturally to most of us most
of the time, somehow, we often find selfcompassion
hard. Why is this?
The first way this can get tricky is
when the suffering is related to human
limitations. Our need to have people not make
mistakes or be limited can make it difficult
to find compassion. And when the mistakes
or limitations are our own, this can get
even harder.

We carry various beliefs
about what it means to be
a good person that get in
the way of self-compassion.
Some of these are:
• That we should not
make mistakes,
• That the way to improve
ourselves is by being hard
on ourselves,
• That caring for ourselves
is somehow at the expense
of loving others.
Thus self-compassion
can be confused with both
weakness and selfishness.
Learning self-compassion
starts with challenging these
beliefs. We must entertain
the possibility that in fact
the best way to be both
loving and strong is through
self-compassion. I’m often
reminded of the instructions
on airplanes to “secure your mask before
helping others.” When it comes to doing good
in the world, taking care of ourselves is the
starting place.
Our strength lies not in expecting ourselves
to be perfect, but in understanding that
our greatest strength is our ability to learn.
Self-compassion means loving acceptance of
current limitations in a way that supports our
marvelous ability to grow.
The starting place for learning selfcompassion
is a decision to experiment with
the possibility that self-compassion is a good
choice. For embarking on this new experiment
we need three elements: attention, suspension,
intention.
Attention means paying attention
to what happens at a moment when you
are in difficulty. What are you feeling? And
what are you telling yourself about this
difficulty? Are you moving toward self-blame
and criticism or are you inclining toward selfcompassion?
Suspension means that even though selfblame
and criticism feel natural and right,
you decide to experiment with not doing that.
You suspend, or inhibit, your old habits.
Intention means that, though you may feel
awkward and frankly, bad at it, you intend
to experiment with self-compassion. You
then simply observe, accept and value your
From The Story
“Loving others
begins with
loving yourself.”
tentative moves in this new direction. You
practice loving acceptance of your current
limitations and celebrate your exciting ability
to grow.
Loving others begins with loving yourself.
Now is a good time to start.

SEVEN
WAYS TO
BE HAPPY
WITH WHAT
YOU HAVE
When I was a young girl, like many other girls, I dreamed
about what my life would be like. College … career …
marriage … children … a house … a dog … and a big, loving
family surrounding me. That was my dream. While some of
it came true, many of my expectations were shattered, and
my life didn’t live up to the fairy tale I had imagined.
Written by Joan Herrmann

For a while, that revelation had beaten me down. I
looked at others with envy, believing that they were
living the perfect existence, and I longed for everything
I thought I was missing. And, when those things didn’t
materialize, I was lost.
Many of us look to external objects – things we collect
and acquire – and outside circumstances to make us
feel fulfilled. We assume that those with more material
possessions, bigger houses, nicer cars, larger families,
etc., have more for which to be grateful.
However, interestingly, research suggests the opposite:
it’s not how much you have, but how you feel about what
you have that makes the difference.
That’s why someone who seems to “have it all” is
miserable, while others with very little are full of joy.
As I’ve grown wiser, I’ve learned that ultimately, being
happy with what you have is a matter of focusing on the
good things, letting go of unrealistic expectations, and
making yourself feel joy in the present moment.
Here are a few strategies that I’ve picked up along my
journey that can help you live with a more grateful heart:
complains. Negativity sucks the life out of you. Surround
yourself with grateful people. Joy is contagious!
Love the little things. Take time for small pleasures. Be
mindful and savor life’s treats. A baby’s laugh. A beautiful
flower. Playing with children. Listening to music. A
funny joke. All of these moments become the snapshots
of a full life. Don’t miss them.
Change your attitude. The old adage of the glass
being half empty or half full sums up the way you view
your life. As Dr. Wayne Dyer stated, “If you change the
way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
A happy life is an inside job; nothing “out there” can
bring you lasting joy. You determine how you want to
view your life. What do you want to see?
v
Focus on your gifts and blessings. Think about all
of the great things that you do have, not the things you
don’t. There is a wonderful quote that states: “If you have
food in your fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your
head, and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75 percent
of the world.” Place emphasis on those treasures.
Let go of the past. You can’t change the past, so
worrying about it does nothing for you except rob your
peace today. Learn from your mistakes, vow not to repeat
them, and move on.
Stop comparing yourself to others. Envy is poison for
happiness. Don’t focus on what others have. Most people
show their “A” game and while it may look good on social
media, you don’t know what happens in private.
Release yourself from desires for material things.
Possessions are just things. A big house or fancy car
may be nice for the moment, but eventually the newness
wears off and you’re back to being you. What good is the
beach house if you’re miserable in it?
Spend time with the people who lift you up. There
is nothing worse than being around a person who

How to Start
Attracting Higher Help
Written by Guy Finley
Living from our present life-level, we are almost always
nervous about what’s going on around us. Why? Because
we still live with the mistaken notion that who we are is
somehow affected or determined by what happens to us.
Events may happen to you, but you are not the event. Just
as clouds are not the sky, you are not what moves through
you. You are not who you think you are.
Thinking that you are the event, being identified with
it, gives rise to a certain wrong identity — an anxious and
uncertain one. This mistaken identity is called the false self,
a character created in our consciousness from the sum of
our experiences in life… and that’s quite natural. Where
things go “wrong” for us is that this level of “self” only
knows how to compare what “is” to what was; it can’t meet
any moment with the same newness that moment brings
because this self is, literally, a construct of one’s past. And as
long as we see life through its eyes, the freedom that comes
with living in the present moment remains impossible.
This false self does feel real. There’s no mistake about that!
It is animated and driven along by the flood of reactions
we have as we run around seeking fulfillment. But the fact
that this lower nature is driven doesn’t mean it is alive. A
bulldozer rolls along too, but it cannot see or understand
why it smashes into things. It is a machine. So, in many
ways, is the false self.
The false self is fueled by negative emotional reactions,
which in turn, are maintained by habitual incorrect
thinking. Because these punishing thoughts and emotions
are merely the mechanical movements of our lower nature,
they are “in time.” This means they have no choice but to
fade with the events that gave them birth.
As the master of making mountains out of molehills, the
false self loves nothing better than dark and bumpy downhill
roads. Our unhappy part in this recurring nightmare is that
we willingly go along on this dark drive that leads us to
repetitious events and unhappy endings. Why? Because we
have mistakenly assumed this false identity that lives for
troubles, and we fear that the end of its existence means the
end of ours. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Real rescue from our problems can only come to us from
above the level of our problem. And yet, in order for any
solution to be real, it must be found somewhere within us,
since that is the real location of our problems. The question
then becomes how can we reconcile these two seemingly
separate and distant notions, rescue from above and
solution from within? The answer may surprise you. Above
and within mean the exact same thing when it comes to
attracting higher help.
We can call this new and higher location of real rescue
the True Self or our own undiscovered higher nature. But
it isn’t what we call this compassionate intelligence that
gives it authority over our painful conditions. Its power
is its elevated position, which is above and outside of the
false self’s sphere of influence. This beneficent and loving
wisdom becomes your intelligence whenever you refrain
from attempting to rescue yourself long enough for it to
show you that what you need is more understanding, not
more battle plans. Temporarily abandoning yourself in this
special way, where you consciously watch and so suspend
the influences and activities of the false self by refusing to
go along with its directives, allows authentic understanding
to flow into the vacancy and give you real direction.
Everyone knows that a good general carefully chooses
where he will engage the enemy. In this way, he always has
the advantage of the upper ground. The same principle
holds true in our work when it comes to learning to let
go of who we are not. In our battle with the false self, we
defeat it not by running away or through struggle with
it, but by standing still long enough to see that we have
mistakenly attributed power to it.
One day it will be your greatest pleasure to realize that
this false nature has no real power to pain you outside of
what you give to it through your wrong reactions.

GET A
SOUL
SCRUB:
HAVE A
GOOD CRY
Written by Gayle M. Gruenberg, CPO-CD ®

T
To quote Rosie Grier, “It’s alright to cry.”
I used to cry easily when I was a child, as most kids
do. I’m a sensitive person, and I was always being told,
“Don’t be so sensitive.” For me, that’s like saying, “Don’t
breathe.”
Now, as an adult, I get it. It’s who I am, how I’m wired.
I even learned that there are others like me, and we have
a name: highly sensitive people. Who knew? And here I
always thought it was because I’m a Pisces! We fish tend
to be quiet and observant, taking everything in, feeling
things deeply, and not letting on that we see all.
I’ve come to terms with crying. Granted, I’ve done a
lot of internal work and learned to accept many things
about myself that had originally made me think there
was something wrong with me. I’ve learned to embrace
crying, although I don’t cry as much as I did in the first
four decades of my life.
I say that crying is a “soul scrub.” It turns out that
I’m right! Growing up in the 1970s and 80s, tears were
considered a sign of weakness, a lack of resilience, an
inability to cope. Little did we know that it was the
exact opposite. Science has since proved that crying has
myriad health benefits.
Crying is physical; it gets your heart beating faster,
which circulates more blood and oxygen to the brain
and body. Stress creates tension in the body and
tightens muscles. Crying releases stress and relaxes the
body. Emotional tears also contain more manganese,
which helps to regulate mood. Medical experts say that
crying activates the parasympathetic nervous system
and restores the body to a state of balance.
I created the acronym TEARS to sum up the physical
and mental benefits of crying:
T – Toxin Release
E – Emotional Balance
A – Aids Sleep
R – Relieves Pain
S – Stress Relief
If you bottle everything up, it will come out
somewhere eventually, and that can be dangerous.
Crying is a natural reaction to a stimulus and a safe way
to release pent up feelings. The next time you feel your
eyes well up, your throat tighten, and your nose run, let
yourself cry. Allow yourself to get it all out.
You are a human being, not a robot or machine.
Do not apologize for having strong feelings. Instead,
celebrate being human, acknowledge those feelings,
and appreciate your ability to connect with the deepest
parts of yourself.

The Hidden Lessons
In Procrastination
Written by Linda Mitchell, CPC, LMT
H
Have you ever caught yourself
stalled on a project and filling your time with other actions
like an easier task, eating, drinking or finding just about any
other distraction to put off the work at hand? It’s important
to realize that procrastination is not so much a lack of selfcontrol
- it’s more of taking ineffective and distracting actions
that sooth the discomfort we feel when trying to tackle an
unpleasant or unfamiliar task, situation or circumstance.
Think of procrastination as a decision to stall moving forward.
Yes, procrastination is basically a decision, consciously
or subconsciously, to remain indecisive. And unfortunately,
procrastination only compounds the negative associations we
have with the given task. Additionally, it adds to our stress,
anxiety, feelings of self-blame and guilt. Ruminating about our
lack of action and getting stuck in the distraction torpedoes
our self-esteem. What if instead you looked for the hidden
lessons behind your procrastination?
If you stop to ask yourself why and really get honest with
yourself, you’ll likely uncover some of the real reasons for your
procrastination. Some are easy to uncover. What’s in front of
you might be uncomfortable or boring. But if you delve deeper,
you may discover it’s your soul’s way of helping you see that
you’re not in alignment with your true values or mission. If
that’s the case, dig deeper into what your inner wisdom and
guidance would have you do instead. Check in with your body
and see where the discomfort lands. What is your heart, gut
and head telling you? Be gentle with yourself and express
gratitude to your body and brain for this new awareness.
This is an important step and will truly help you discern
what actions would be best for you! Our unresolved emotions
and our issues land in our tissues! Listen deeply to your inner
guidance and course correct to get back on track. Take any
inspired action steps that move you closer to discovering
why you feel out of sorts and what you might do instead.
If it’s simply an aversion to an unpleasantry, get out of the
hole you’re digging and simply plan to get it done. If it’s a
big project, break it down into manageable pieces, and if it’s
a smaller task, either jump right in or schedule a date on
the calendar. Pause to imagine how good you’ll feel once it’s
completed and off your shoulders. Stop carrying around the
weight of the undone task which is often heavier and more
stressful than the act of completing it! Once you do so, you’ll
feel so much better, and you’ll have a better understanding of
the bigger picture.
But if the cause of your procrastination is not simply due
to an unpleasant task moving you out of your comfort zone,
discern where the real discomfort is coming from. Perhaps
you’re working in an industry that is diametrically opposed
to your authentic self, making the project uncomfortable. In
this example, procrastination that is a sign to find work that
is more in alignment with your core values and beliefs. Here,
procrastination isn’t simply avoidance, it’s your body and
brain’s way of waving a red flag to wake you up to something
better coming your way if you take aligned action. Begin to
explore new possibilities, opportunities and paths forward.
Thank your body for the pause and decide to make some
empowering changes.
You see, procrastination is not a trait, it’s a habit. The good
news is when we understand the reason for our habits, we
can also intentionally decide to create different habits and
action steps that serve us better and allow us to feel more
empowered and fulfilled in everyday life.

Why Everyone
Should Not Go
To College
Written by Ed Hajim
W
Want to know why it can
be tougher to get an appointment with your
electrician or your plumber than with your
doctor? The answer is simple: Our national
and state policies funnel most high school
graduates into colleges and universities.
Even young people who show an interest
in vocational training are urged to study
computer technology.
College for all is not working. Forty
percent of those who enroll in college drop
out. And not enough young people are
mastering important trade skills. While
technology matters, society also needs
welders, electricians, plumbers, landscapers,
woodworkers, nurses, other health care

workers, auto mechanics,
and chefs. All important
trade skills that now pay
handsomely.
Education is the solution
to almost everything, said
George Eastman of Kodak
fame. Yet we seldom talk
about education for jobs
like these. And, when we
do, the language is often
disparaging. Trade school
is one popular term of
disapproval, suggesting
that plumbing and similar
activities are unworthy
activity. Let’s get one thing
straight: these are real
occupations.
Support for vocational
training is critical. It is
expensive and beyond the
means of many families.
Vocational programs
range from $50,000 to
$200,000 for a four-year program (plus room
and board), although there are two-year
certificate programs in fields like furniture
design and one-year programs in others like
welding.
The late educator John W. Gardner said it
best: “The society which scorns excellence in
plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates
shoddiness in philosophy because it is
an exalted activity will have neither good
plumbing nor good philosophy; neither its
pipes nor its theories will hold water.”
I’ve been involved in two programs
that are trying to do something about this
problem. In Florida, Monroe County and
Ocean Reef are hard pressed to find enough
skilled workers. The Ocean Reef Foundation
is helping raise money for a new campus of
the College of the Florida Keys. Set to open
in the fall of 2021, it will offer bachelor’s
degrees, certificates and workforce training
in business, marine science, diving, marine
engineering, hospitality, culinary, nursing,
EMT, public safety and more.
On Nantucket, that small island 30 miles
off the coast of Massachusetts, we are finding
ways to support kids who want to work in
the trades. We still send about three-quarters
of our high school graduates on to advanced
education, but a growing number now receive
From The Story
“Forty percent
of those
who enroll
in college
drop out.”
scholarships that support their vocational
training. Unfortunately, the number of these
scholarships remains miniscule compared
to college scholarships. A few years ago, the
Nantucket Golf Club Foundation realized that
young people with a vocational bent were
being short-changed and launched a program
to support students taking a different track.
We’re in the second year of our Vocational
Scholarship program, providing three
scholarships to graduating Nantucket High
School seniors attending technical schools.
“Education has always been a dream of
mine,” says Malkia Blake, a recent high
school graduate who came to the U.S. from
Jamaica. “It is not a common experience in
my family, and education is one of the few
ways I’ve seen other people escape from the
grasp of poverty and illiteracy.” Malkia is
attending the Culinary Institute of America
on a scholarship – a vocational scholarship.
Blaise Flegg completed a 16-month course
for Welding Certification. A mobile welder
for a small company, he was able to get an
education in welding and put some of the
money that would have gone into tuition into
equipment for his trade. “Down the road, I
hope to start my own company.”
It’s time to acknowledge that what matters
is continuing to study and learn. Not
attending a four-year college. Today’s high
school students understand that now they can
have the best of both worlds with vocational
training. They are guaranteed jobs when they
finish the program and get to work at jobs
they love.
Supporting vocational programs like this
will strengthen our economy and enable
countless young people to live fulfilling lives.
It will also make it easier to get a plumber
when you need one.
