I really enjoyed this post - it reminds me that self-compassion leads to more inner peace. And when I have more inner peace, I'm able to be more present, engaged, and, yep, happy!
My adult son transitioned 10 months ago. I feel constantly tethered to grief BUT reading your posts are helpful and I’m going to start playing the good moments game. Thank you
Absolutely. In this talk from last week Tara Brach talks a lot about this. She uses phrases like "gladdening our hearts" (I love that phrase) and she tells a story which ends with "don't let a terrifying future rob you of the love that's here" (I'm paraphrasing, I may not have gotten it exactly right). This one really helped me. https://www.tarabrach.com/nourishing-our-spirit/
Love this. I’m sticking the good thing game in my pocket for evening walks with my husband when we’re both too exhausted by the world to hold a real conversation.
