Eva
Mutua, a Vet School Masters student from Kenya, is finding things to be
grateful for during lockdown. Eva describes how a compassion workshop and
compassion practices have enabled her to face fears. Before lockdown was
announced, Eva was frightened of being alone, regardless of the pandemic. The
compassion workshop that she attended came just in time for her to find ways of
turn her fears of loneliness into the discovery of the fruits of solitude. She
is enjoying getting to know herself better and thereby leaning also to be a
better friend
to others. Practices that she particularly finds helpful are: taking time to be
with yourself and do something fun just for the joy of it; morning journaling;
tuning into your needs so that you can know whether you are meeting them; and
facing your fears.For Coronavirus updates and advice,and FAQs please see the University
