59. There Are No Prizes for the Most Suffering

Taking care of yourself well is an act of kindness and self-love.  This is the first episode in our series on Mindful Love. Choosing not to suffer or struggle unnecessarily is an option. Even in a world where suffering is often felt to be of value. Suffering is suffering. Less of it is better. We are all worthy of love, kindness, and compassion.   We offer the possibility of caring for yourself rather than self sacrifice as the path to serve the highest good. We invite you to become aware of where you may choose to suffer when it is not necessary, and in fact is often harmful and often inadvertent that may on the surface seem good/smart/efficient but are actually harmful- usually disguised as being helpful to others in some way, but not helpful to oneself. We discuss situations where comparative suffering may show up and how to work with it.  Join us at The Mindful Healers Retreat: Connect in Nature is in July 2022. Attending is an act of self-love and caring for yourself well. Space will be held for healing for all humans in healthcare.  www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreat-connect-in-nature If you want to find calm, contentment, and a clear and meaningful path forward in areas of your life beyond relationships, I invite you to explore private mindful coaching with Dr. Mahoney www.jessiemahoneymd.com If you want to develop a mindfulness practice, reach out to Dr. Liang www.awakenbreath.org *Nothing in this episode should be considered medical advice.
