To the editors of About Time,
I just received a copy of Issue 15 and once again I have a near overwhelming feeling of enthusiasm. Thank you.
I have a short poem as well as a mindfulness technique called “Distress Tolerance”.
S top, don’t react or let your emotions take over
T ake a step back, breath in, breath out
O bserve your body’s sensations
P roceed with your thoughts or actions
Do this with small events to begin with. Eventually this will become instinct. You got this, aye. Onya.
Poem
Empathy vs Sympathy
There are four stages to empathy
Sympathy is cut and dry
Recognising others’ feelings
When you see others cry
The capacity to take perspective
The desire is to act
Just recognising distress
Is recognising fact
Thanks guys.
Regards,
Belly
