this journey together.
There is a lot of “we” talk on this page — that
“we” is us! We’re brothers and the co-founders of Holstee. We started Holstee
in 2009 as a t-shirt company focused on the social and environmental impacts of
production — an extension of our true desire to live both fully (do
something we are passionate about!) and mindfully (be aware of
our impact on the world around us). We never could have guessed that our
journey would lead us on this wild path of learning and self-discovery, but we
are so happy it has.

There are a lot of companies and people promising a
silver bullet solution to all your “problems”. This isn’t that. We’re just normal
people striving to live well and sharing what we’ve learned. We don’t have all
the answers, but we’re committed to asking the questions and doing the work.
And like you, and the thousands of people in our community, we’re also on this
journey.

In
our state of perpetual “busyness” we’re constantly measured by how efficient
and active we are. What is immeasurable is the impact and value of the slower —
often invisible — acts of compassion that connect us.

We
can show compassion to ourselves, to those around us, and even to those on the
other side of the world. Distinct from empathy, and more nuanced than simply
being nice, compassion requires feeling and action.

Modern science shows that, specifically, self-compassion motivates
us more effectively than self-punishment. Dr. Kristin Neff, researcher, writer,
and Co-founder of the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion even suggests that it
should take the place of ‘self-esteem’ in our vocabulary.

self-criticism as self-esteem, but without the need to see ourselves as
perfect or as better than others.”

love without being influenced by the judgment of others, whether those
judgments are positive or negative.

Quiet Ego
Quiet Ego
Drs. Heidi
Wayment and Jack J. Bauer, authors and professors of psychology, have
researched and written on the value of developing a “quiet ego.” When we have a
quiet (but not silent) ego, we are able to do a better job of “listening to
others as well as the self in an effort to approach life more humanely and
compassionately.”

Nonviolent Communication
Humans are
innately social creatures with a fundamental need to connect with others. So
it’s no surprise that the quality of our relationships is one of the best
predictors of our overall well-being. As positive psychology superstar Dr.
Chris Peterson put it, “Other people matter,” and compassion is exactly the
kind of spiritual technology that helps us connect with those around us.
