Let's practice kindness -- starting at ? Home.π
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?π
Are we all ready to be kind to self?βΊ
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.π Brownie points, if you wanna share any "why" or tell how a certain activity or something could impact you.

π!Looking forward to hear from y'all. Have a great day!π
Love it! Here goes:
1. Treated myself to a crispy chicken & grilled peach salad and an Aperol spritz outside on the patio ππΉ
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!
Treating yourself to a good meal, sturdy pair of sandals for a trip -- we do need comfy feet hehe , and yes yes yes, let the worries for covid weight go , surviving and thriving through the pandemic definitely counts for something, we are doing the best we can , you go amazing human, thanks for sharing your kind acts for self ! Happy days ahead β€
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.

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.
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 β€

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.
