Indrani’s “Orange the World” Video Message: Day 4

Have you heard about the United Nation Women’s “ORANGE THE WORLD” campaign yet? Indrani has joined forces with them for their 16 days of activism to end violence against women and children.

Indrani is publishing a personal video message every day during the UN Women’s campaign, and TODAY, she is sharing an important message about treating ALL of your emotions with respect. When you can do that, you can begin to end violence within yourself and other people. It’s an action that starts with “Self.”

Indrani encourages you to Google, “The Guest House” by Rumi.  But before you do, take a look at Indrani’s “Day 4” personal message.  Watch it here:

Indrani has stepped up her activism, yet again, and is joining forces with UN Women to help promote their “Orange the World” campaign.

Here is the campaign message from the United Nations “UNiTE”:

The UN Secretary-General’s UNiTE to End Violence against Women Campaign invites

governments, UN agencies, civil society organizations and individuals

from all countries of the world to mark the days between 25 November and 10 December

(the 16 Days of Activism) by coming together to step up efforts to end violence against women and girls.  

We invite you to “ORANGE THE WORLD: END VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS” BY participating in and organizing “orange events” in support of the UNiTE Campaign.

THIS YEAR WE WANT TO KEEP THE WORLD ORANGE THROUGHOUT THE 16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM and we invite you to consider organizing your activities not only on 25th November but on the other days too.

Join us, take action, orange the world, keep it orange for days, and call for political commitments to be matched with meaningful ACTION and adequate RESOURCES to end

violence against women and girls worldwide.”

Brighter Life Bit #28: Increase Your Self-Empathy

ILF_Wtagline_Logo rgbWelcome to this Brighter Life Bit segment.  For this lesson, you can listen to the original teaching at the 1 hour 41 minute mark of the Class 4 recording. You can download the audio from the ILF website here.

“We cannot change and grow when we are ashamed, and we can’t use shame to change ourselves or others.”  ~ Indrani Goradia

How can you increase your self-empathy? Examine your struggles by recognizing and using your strengths.

Exercise: First, take the FREE Character Strengths test from VIA Institute. Click here

Next step:

  • Get your journal and write down your top 5 strengths
  • Write down the ways in which you use those strengths to help those you love, such as your family, friends, co-workers, etc.

Ask yourself these two questions:

  • When do I turn these strengths inward to use them to help me?
  • Why do we fail to get to know ourselves well?

Share with us. Come up with creative ways to use your strengths on behalf of yourselves in the coming day.  Share your experience in the comments of this post.
