Let's practice kindness -- starting at ? Home.💛

Hello hello lovely people coming across this! We all see, hear, acknowledge and want to be kind and practice kindness, and while it's good to be kind to others, it is also super necessary to be kind with yourself, like all good things should begin from home, know that *YOU* are your HOME and therefore every bit of kindness you practice, should begin with YOU. Food for thought for sure, mhm?💛



Are we all ready to be kind to self?☺

It can be as simple as treating yourself your favorite food or taking out time for something you enjoy or find relaxing, maybe reading a book, painting your nails, dancing to your favorite song, letting go of a past event pulling you back, forgiving someone for your own peace of mind, apologising to someone you feel will allow yourself to let go of any guilt etc, just about anything that counts as something that will make you feel calmer, happier, better~ even if it's for a moment, I feel it's worth a try. *-*


So now without further ado, name any 3 kind things you can do for yourself in the near future and are willing to give a try also.💛 Brownie points, if you wanna share any "why" or tell how a certain activity or something could impact you.

Love it! Here goes:

1. Treated myself to a crispy chicken & grilled peach salad and an Aperol spritz outside on the patio 🍑🍹

2. Probably going to invest in a pair of sturdy sandals before family trip (it's gonna be stressful so why not have comfy feet)

3. Let go of worries about my covid weight. I survived a pandemic!

Love the quote pix. I am only delving in the self and believe there 8s one person solidly for me and that is me. I don't let anyone vitiate my inner being. They may prick me but I don't bleed incessantly. My spiritual journey immensely help me to get over hurtful people and their behaviour. Today I have forgiven and moved on and life is bliss.

Hello @RideaRainbow , glad to hear you loved the quote in the picture. It is so wonderful that you've mastered a control on emotions and inner peace and dont let anything or anyone to affect them in anyways . Forgiving and moving on is not easy but certainly makes us feel lighter and free from all the heaviness from holding onto things . Happy to hear life is bliss . Thanks so much for sharing , Tani ❤

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Thank you so much for this post.
For me,
- reading a book, could be any genre, novel, essay, travel journals, ancitent poems...a curious book worm
- drinking my milktea. English Breakfast or any other black tea+ milk= my simple but effective milk tea
- gardening. seeing plants life cycles from a tiny seed to a promisnig seedling, to a young healthy plant and then bloom, and fruiting. It requies lots of care but also very healing. Oh, forgot to mention weeds and insects. Even plants get lots of troubles. It kind of enlightened at some point during my gardening practice. A great activity indeed.

Hello @hopeful1973olive , you're very welcome 😄.
Glad to hear, reading , a simple yet effective milk tea and gardening makes you feel good and are acts of kindness towards self.
I like how you expressed gardening, it is quite a therapeutic activity , plants do face problems but with the right care and with time ,manage to keep growing . Also loved it , planting of seed then the whole journey towards becoming a plant and a tree , must be astounding to watch it grow this way . Thanks so much for sharing! Happy Kindness everyday ❤

Thank you so much for this wonderful post!
Three kind things that I would do for myself in the near future include:
1. Take some time away from all my work (on a day where I can afford to) and just spend time with the people I love. Maybe get cozy on our sofa and watch a movie :)
2. Do a full self-care routine - they can be so refreshing
3. Read through some old birthday messages <3

This last year I realised a lot of things. One of them is to respect and be kind to myself. Although I am taking baby steps, I must say that yoga and meditation has changed the way I look at myself. This feeling is beautiful. I also want to start reading, a hobby I was once addicted to. Reading a book; be it fiction or non - fiction, helps me escape the pressures of reality even if it's for a little while. Another hobby I desperately want to resume is swimming. Just watching the Olympic swimmers give me those nostalgic pain like sensations. I hope things turn out for the best in these pressing times and I can pursue all that I wish to. Love & Respect.

Love the picture :)
Hmmm, I think I will start developing my confidence by...
1) Starting swimming
2) Not let my weight affect my life
3) Try to eat fruit and vegetables every day

For me, three kind things I can do for myself are:
1) Read the books I have put off reading for so long
2) Give myself a home-made spa and try my new sheet face mask
3) Catch up with people I haven't seen in a long time

i rarely reply to post like these… logically if people need to actually be told to be kind are not kind. Everyone on this website are literally old enough to know to be kind to others etc! That’s something that comes automatically to people to be kind. People are just not kind to one another and no matter what they are what they are. Maybe people should remove themselves from people that are not kind, instead of wasting energy on people who are just mean spirited people

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou

Three things I'd like to do to take more care of myself and why.

1. Have a bit more fun daily in my interactions with others and when alone because fun makes life better

2. Spend more time around people who want to do something positive with their lives because a purpose gives life meaning and substance

3. Define my values and principles more and live from a place that is defined by those values and principles such as 'first do no harm', 'practice what you preach' and 'dessert first.'

@Dallady "dessert first" haha I so relate, important value, yesss!

Thankyou for sharing your thoughts, Dallady, I always admire your positive outlook and the way you articulate things. It's indeed better to have fun, be around people who bring out our better side also with their positivity~ living with a purpose and ofcourse, practicing things of value to us! Keep being you!❤
