Is there or has there been a time where you have been completely worn out and had a loss of compassion? What helpful things have you done to get back to having that passion for our relatives ?

when I have a loss of compassion for anyone I have come to realize that I am feeling judgemental and not looking at the Relative or myself with unconditional positive regard. For me when I am feeling this distance from others I am also feeling it from myself. As within so without or vise a versa

Lots. Usually when something is going on in my life im not addressing. When I forget people are human and I dont get to be jury on the human experience. There are for sure times I need to walk away from people and situations, but I try and reframe it as an act of kindness and self love. We dont have to stick around situations and people that burn us out. I also try and get back to my roots, why did I do this work. Go serve food, go meet someone new, go help at the encampments etc. Try and find a way to remember why you started this work in the first place.

I used to all the time. But I found if im careful enough with my boundaries and im doing the self work compassion doesnt take the toll on me it used to.
