Letting go of effort

carrying load

Mindfulness and compassion training is a radical process of letting go of our burdens. We are not trying to be more mindful or more compassionate: that’s just more work. Instead we can sit down for a few minutes, see what arises and give ourselves love just because….just because. And then go gently back into the world.

One thought on “Letting go of effort

  1. It is an effort for me to just sit down though I do like who I am. Losing sight of the big picture is a more predominant habit for me.
