Compassion is often associated with kindness, empathy, and understanding. But what happens when you feel pulled in many directions and realize there are not enough hours in the day to complete everything? How do you respond when stretched too thinly and tasks keep pouring in? When we are stressed and lack mental, physical, and emotional energy, it is harder to show compassion.

This wellness sessions offers practical tools for ongoing reflection, self-care, effective communication for a harmonious life. We conclude with a calming closing guided meditation.
