Mental health nonprofit, 29K, publishes a new article on the importance of empathy in building and maintaining healthy relationships. Titled, “6 tips on how to practice empathy in your daily life,” it offers simple steps readers can take today to develop empathy.
—
The recently published explains that practicing empathy every day is the best way to build healthy relationships. When a person can see things from another’s perspective, they tend to become more compassionate and reflective about how they will respond. This is particularly important during tense situations, such as an argument between colleagues, friends, or lovers.

In its new guide, 29k shares six tips to practice empathy in daily life. The first, and most important, advice is to place one’s self in another’s shoes. According to the authors, the best way to practice empathy is to understand what another person is possibly going through, and how this may be influencing their thoughts or behaviors. A great way to hone this skill is to continuously ask one’s self, “How would I react right now if I was going through the same situation?”
This simple change in mindset has a cumulative effect on a person’s behavior. Instead of reacting in anger to an ill-thought-of sentence or action, a person will become more empathetic and respond with more grace. Putting one’s self in another person’s shoes also encourages more active listening, another essential tip discussed in the report.
Several psychiatric studies suggest that active listening plays a crucial role in the development of emotional intelligence. Those who can listen with full attention often become more attuned to another person’s emotional experience and are thus able to consider the best response for the specific situation. This lays the groundwork for building and honing empathy.
29k ends its guide by stating that empathy is one of the most effective ways to build healthier relationships of all types. By constantly practicing empathy, a person learns to keep an open mind and avoid judging others.
29k says, "The research is crystal clear that the more you've actually worked on your inner world (how you cope with your emotions, how your relationships work, what responsibility you believe that you have in society or in relation to your own actions) the healthier and happy you become."
