Compassionate Strength™ Practice
In a distracted world, our attention drifts without us noticing.
How attention naturally drifts
The Practice
-
Our attention naturally drifts. That's part of being human. Compassionate Strength™ is the practice of caring for your attention by noticing when it drifts, meeting that moment with awareness, and gently returning with kindness. The practice unfolds through three simple returns: Kind, Kinder, Kindest™.
