Challenges on the Path to Mindfulness and Compassion

As you engage in mindfulness training, you’ll probably come into contact with some obstacles and challenges. This is a normal part of any endeavor. I doubt anyone ever set out to learn to play the violin or the guitar without hitting the wrong notes or having sore fingers. Learning involves stumbling and confusion. A compassionate and mindful awareness of your step-by-step learning can allow you to embrace the process, rather than descend into self-criticism and shame. Cultivating a compassionate mind involves a gradual development of your inborn, intuitive wisdom and requires patience and consistency. Never punish or judge yourself if you feel like you’re not making sufficient progress—try to accept yourself as you are in the present moment.

Let’s take a look at some of the challenges and potential problems you may face, so that you’re ready if you encounter them. The challenges we face in cultivating mindfulness and compassion are often things that we can’t work around, but we can work through them.
