What are some effective empathy-building exercises?

There are several exercises you can try! One popular method is the 'Perspective-Taking' exercise, where you imagine a situation from another person's viewpoint.

Can you give me an example of how to do that?

Sure! Start by choosing a person you want to understand better. Think about a recent experience they had and write down how they might have felt during that situation.

That sounds interesting! Are there any group activities for this?

Absolutely! One great group activity is 'Empathy Circles,' where participants share personal stories and others listen without interrupting, fostering understanding.

How can I incorporate these exercises into my daily life?

You can start small by practicing active listening in conversations, or setting aside time each week to reflect on others' experiences.
