Balancing Empathy and Self-Care in a Bubble World

So, picture this: in today’s world, we’re all doing this delicate dance between empathy and self-care, right? But here’s the thing. It’s like we’ve built our own ‘bubble,’ and sometimes we get so comfy in there that we forget there’s a whole world outside, full of stories and experiences waiting for us. It’s easy to think that the universe revolves around this tiny space we call our comfort zone. But hey, living in that bubble 24/7? Not exactly the healthiest gig. We’ve got to step out, explore, feel the vibes, and grow with all that diversity out there. You know, I’ve always firmly believed in the whole ‘stepping out of your comfort zone’ thing. It’s like, we need to stretch ourselves a bit, dive into different experiences, and understand what’s happening in the world out there, right? I mean, how else are we going to truly evolve and grasp the concept of empathy? But, face it, living in a fast-paced world, we sometimes find ourselves disconnecting from reality. It’s as if we’re always chasing the shallow and the immediate. But here’s the kicker: I also get that sometimes you just need to retreat to your bubble. With all the hustle and bustle of news and life’s chaos, it can feel like a bit too much. So, that’s it, we all need some ‘me time’ in our safe space to catch our breath and make sure we’re okay. My travels around the world, having been fortunate to visit almost 20 countries and live in three of them, have broadened my perspective on empathy. Each place has taught me something unique about humanity and connection. <a href="https://medium.com/illumination/balancing-empathy-and-self-care-in-a-bubble-world-48b866b5a9b9">Click Here</a>
