This is my Guiding Light as a Registered Nurse / Healthcare professional. My true Practice: Empathy is the ability to put ourselves in another’s place and to understand their experience. We are deeply present to their thoughts and feelings with such compassionate accuracy that they can hear their own thoughts more clearly. Empathy connect us us with our common humanity. It protects us from prejudice, blame, and judgment – those things that divide us from each other. With empathy, we reflect on how our actions affect others. It moves us to seek justice for every person. Even those with whom we disagree. Empathy inspires us to be giving and selfless. Empathy connects our hearts. “To ‘listen’ another’s soul into a condition of disclosure and discovery may be almost the greatest service any human being ever performs for another.” ~ Douglas V. Steere The Practice of Empathy: * I seek to understand others’ experience. * I listen with compassion. * I refrain from judging and blaming. * I think about how my choices impact others. * I care about people’s rights. * I feel my connections to all people. I am thankful for the gift of Empathy. It sensitizes my heart.
