Chat's about what it looks like when compassion shuts down and we get into a mindset where it's hard to implement. How to notice this in yourself and what to do when it happens.

Quick summary about what's to come on in upcoming episodes of the podcast.

An overview of the workshop from last night, and how compassion with goal setting can make a huge difference to the likelihood of success.

Then randomly back to fake compassion and compassion in communication. It's all linked, it's all awesome and it all requires a lil self study and reflection.

Chat's on Compassion, touching on 'fake compassion', but moving swiftly onto how humans wear labels like clothes and how compassion helps dissipate judgement.

I fail to remember the name of: "Factitious disorder, previously called Munchausen syndrome, is a serious mental health condition in which people deceive others by pretending to be sick. They do this by faking symptoms, getting sick on purpose or hurting themselves" Google Oct 2024

Meandering chats about compassion when making change and then the fake compassion towards friends and loved ones. How to swap your mindset towards what you consider is compassionate and condescending. It's a weird one. I'll continue on this next week.

Last week Alex chatted about finding compassion in stressful situation, and this weirdly lead her to think about compassion when spending time with family. Alex discusses the truths we lay down when we're children and how, in the 'safety' of those that are familiar, we're likely to revert back to those truths.

It's a food for thought kind of episode.

Message with questions on instagram @alignwithalexuk as the @itsprobablyme account with be merging soon.

Chatting about how compassion dispels negative energy, and stressful situations. I use the example of mine and the besties very disturbed night sleep on the night before the festival. But it's worth casting your mind back to a situation that pushed your limits and consider other perspectives. How can you layer compassion in instead?

Heads up: I'll be moving all things 'It's Probably Me Podcast' to www.alignwithalex.uk/podcast. and the social media will be on @alignwithalexuk too, so please head there for updates going forward.

Thank you for everything and your continued support.
