So, I've started reading this book, recommended by the Alive with Steve Burns podcast, by Buddhist nun Pema Chodron. I am not a Buddhist or seeking to become one, but I am calming my mind a bit reading it. LMK if you try it! @steveburnsalive.bsky.social #empathygonewild #inspiringbook #empathy

Can I get a '100%', 'Damn straight!', 'True dat!' or 'Amen!'? #empathygonewild #antibullying

It takes practice to walk in others' shoes. List other reasons we can imagine why this parent might be on the quiet side. Trying on someone else's shoes doesn't validate choices or attitudes, but it can help lower the temperature through empathy. #empathygonewild #empathymatters #schoolparents

I hope your Monday is going well! Don’t forget to attempt this week’s Random Acts of Kindness Challenge!

NEW deal! Since I’m so happy to find lots of positive things to post… and I don’t want to flood the feed with all of it, I’m going to post some stuff in the comments of a weekly post! So check it regularly for feel-good stuff. Feel free to contribute too! #empathygonewild #empathy #kindnessmatters

A new week is about to start! That means it's time to start another Random Acts of Kindness Challenge! When accomplished, comment 'Done'. If you'd like to tell us about it, please do! #RAK #randomactsofkindness

Empathy, compassion, and peace are not always about other people. This book is something I bought for myself a little over a year ago and I use it. To find out more about it, go to: www.anti-planner.com @danidonovan.com #ADHD #empathygonewild *freely recommended with no compensation/commission.

It takes practice to walk in others' shoes. Let's list other reasons this woman wouldn't be anyone's favorite salesperson today in the comments. Trying on someone else's shoes doesn't validate choices or attitudes, but it can help lower the temperature through empathy or foster kindness. #empathy

How awesome is this guy? How strong his #empathy? reasonstobecheerful.world/cycling-with...

The elements of #Empathy are simple: ❶ Observe ❷ Tune-In ❸ Relate ❹ Connect ❺ Reach Out #WorldEmpathy

The Gray leads to nuance, and nuance leads to critical thinking, which leads to better understanding and empathy. 😊🥰 #empathygonewild #kindnessmatters #criticalthinking

*Education Expansion Tuesday: This week, we are looking at weird fish since biodiversity can open our minds and broaden our horizons. Take a few minutes to learn something new (links in comments). And if you 'dive deeper', share your findings with the rest of us! #learnmorebemore #empathygonewild

One of those simple, yet profound #quotes 💛 #Kindness 💛

This, from @ariaa.bsky.social rings so true.

Sometimes this is difficult…especially when some harm others with which seems so much ease. But it’s so important to remember what words can do. Love this @siouxsiestardust.bsky.social Great reminder

#animals #love #kindness Let us continue the mission of Jane Goodall and "speak for those who cannot speak for themselves." Live and Let Live.

Happy Monday! It's the first Monday of 2026, so let's make it a good one. Are you motivated? Am I? What do you have on your plate today? This week? Aside from the RAK challenge, of course. 😉 Wishing you the best of motivation, luck, and success with your agenda! #Empathygonewild #mondaymotivation

Often, it’s tough enough to figure how to make our own lives the best they can be. But if we see a way to make someone else’s better for a moment and act on it, we likely boost our own happy life efforts in the process. Thoughts? #empathygonewild #kindnessmatters #selfcare

Goodnight George … As usual, you are correct … Kind thoughts for thee + also for me … Let us never forget #KindnessMatters … And we love your starry blankie … Sleep well tonight, safely + peacefully … 🧡🐈🧡

RAK for the Week: Who will you compliment this week? Don't forget to comment 'Done' when this mission is accomplished, and tell us about it if you'd like. #Empathygonewild #RAK #randomactsofkindness #kindnesschallenge

Much of the time, it does feel pretty good, doesn’t it? www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-hea...

Agreed! Kindness is a natural magnet. Replicating the feeling kindness creates can cause a ‘pay it forward’ effect. 🥰

It's *Book Rec Saturday! This one is an oldie but a goodie from 2014: The Book of Forgiving by Desmond Tutu and Mpho Tutu. Its message doesn't involve forgetting about the incident--just forgiving for your own sake. *No compensation received for this suggestion. #empathygonewild #booksky

True, yes? A tall order, too. How many of us could live that idea anywhere close to 100%? But I don’t believe we need a high percentage of success to make a difference. Your thoughts? In what situations is your empathy at its best? #empathygonewild #empathy

It's a hell of a fight not to let it. *Fridays are the days we remember to reflect on our own self-worth, talk to a child about effects of bullying, stand up to a bully, or take a moment to be kind to someone who isn't at their best today. #stopbullying #empathy #goldenrule #antibullying

Looks like these guys are welcomed wherever they go on their Walk for Peace. 😊 apnews.com/article/budd...

🤔 MINDFUL #NewYearsDay ... Last year was imperfect. Yesterday was imperfect. Sadness, bruises, disappointments, fails. But there was also love, pride, laughter, hope. So, this year, I choose courage as my focus. 👍 💙 🏳️‍🌈 #NewYears2026🥂 #FBR #FBPE #Resistance #StrongerTogether #KindnessMatters #Bluecrew

Wishing you a FANTASTIC new year. My gut tells me 2026 is going to feel brand new and full of possibilities. (And I usually don't feel that way come New Years!) #empathygonewild #kindness #2026 #HappyNewYear #empathy

This! 100%!

Oh, deer! And now I’m crying … you? #compassion #kindnessmatters #babyanimals

Never stop being a good person. #ChooseKindness #Love #Hope #Respect #Civility #Integrity #Positivity
