Did you know that most emotional waves last 90 seconds?

If you can pause and breathe through it, the intensity often decreases on its own. Try sitting with the feeling for a moment rather than fighting it. You may notice it passes quicker than expected.

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.” — Wendy Mass

Kindness is one of the most powerful forms of connection and healing. Whether it’s offering a smile, lending a listening ear, or showing compassion toward yourself and others, small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

Kindness is contagious. When we choose to lead with empathy, we help create a stronger, more compassionate community. 💚
