How to be good to yourself and to others?

It depends on what you mean by being good to yourself and others. If you mean doing good to yourself and other people, it may be wise to 'do good' to yourself first. You can't 'do good' to others when you aren't 'doing good' to yourself. So how can you treat yourself well? You have physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs. Fulfilling those needs would mean doing good to yourself. These needs can overlap - fulfilling your social needs can fulfil your psychological needs. To fulfil your physical needs, they can include: - Eating healthy - Drinking plenty of water - Sleeping well - Exercise Satisfying psychological needs can differ from person to perso, but can include: - Making time to wind down and do things you enjoy - Playing with your pets - Seeking support from others when you're feeling down, upset, stressed, etc. - Journalling To satisfy social needs, just do whatever you like to do to connect with others. This can include: - Being part of a community - Hanging out with friends - Hanging out with family To satify spiritual needs, you can: - Meditate - Do religious activities - Go outdoors and connect with nature There are many ways to 'be good' to other people. They can include: - Doing something nice for others - Helping strangers - Complementing others - Donating to charity - Use respectful language to others - Maintaining and respecting boundaries

I think that a lot of it is about perspective taking. Sometimes when I am too hard on myself I need to take a step back and think what would I say to my best friend if it was her going through this. Or what would my mom tell me if I told her I was feeling like this. Most of the time, I would be much kinder to my best friend and my mom would say something loving and supportive (I'm lucky like that, she's awesome). When it's someone else I need to be kind to, it's kind of the reverse. I try to put myself in their shoes. Sometimes that is easier than other times. I can think to myself okay that driver cut me off because they are rushing to work or just didn't notice. It's much harder when something makes a costly mistake or is rude to me. But if i can pause long enough to take a deep breath, I can usually give it my best go. And I am not always perfect about either, but forgiving myself for that is part of being goof to myself, too.

It is important to treat yourself and others kindly, everyone is fighting their own unseen battles, so it is important to try and be patience with the people around you but also with yourself. Encouragement, kind words and even just a smile can be all someone needs to help them through their day, treat yourself with this same kindness by trying to speak kindly to yourself and giving yourself a break if things do not work out. Remember everyone is doing their best, so support others where you can and give yourself time and seek support when you are struggling.

By accepting the fact that you can't control everything but you can be gentle. Take things easy. Self care is must. When we respect ourselves then only someone else can respect us. Stay hydrated, work out, cook for yourself, appreciate yourself. These are small things but truly effective. Don't let anyone bring you down. We can't control someone's actions or change the outcome but we can try our best to make things better. So, step one is to be kind to yourself & give yourself respect even if other people choose not to. If you want to be kind to others then first choose your own people because they're the closest to you. If someday you feel irritated, take a deep breath & then talk so that you're not that harsh & don't regret later. It's okay to feel things. We can't change that but we can bring positive changes in the way we talk to ourselves and other people. Try to talk to one stranger a day or help someone every week. It doesn't matter how small it is but it should be real. Take care of little things. Hope it helps. :)

You always have a choice of either being right or being kind, choose the latter, and become a better person. Being good to yourself and to others means doing things that make you and others happy. You can do them by doing small-small things like saying Hi to the person jumping in your elevator, ask a random person in the office if they need your help with something. Buy a coffee to the one who needs it. These small-small acts will not only make their day but also help you feel so much better. And just remember that you are a great person doing good things.

I have found that to be good to yourself is to nourish your mind, body and spirit. To fill it with positive energy, through meditation or other relaxation techniques. To feed the body healthy foods and to get proper rest when needed. These practices will improve your outlook which can be passed onto others to help them through any issues that come their way. It is such a beautiful gift to be able to be kind, because you will see it grow as the intended person spreads kindness onto others and makes this world a happier place. During these troubling times in our world a little kindness can sure go a long way!

Developing compassion, and understanding I think is the best way to be good to yourself and others. The very art of learning how to listen, try to understand, and accept without judgement, and provide advice and encouragement in order to achieve positive results can change the way we think about ourselves, interact with ourselves, and everyone else. Things that can help this are metta meditation and trying to expose ourselves in small amounts to people we would normally heartily disagree with but while doing so refrain from judging and try only to listen. It can be really hard and they certainly may not be right but you can learn a lot from those kinds of practices.

First... be good to yourself. Treat yourself, grab yourself that cup of coffee. Make yourself breakfast. Go for a walk. Do something you are craving and that YOU and only YOU wants. Not something society has told you to do or your parents or through peer pressure... if it makes you happy and excited, then you know you are doing something good for yourself. Once you do this, the energy you emit will be the energy you attract. You will then see that you will be good with others. You can do it... I don't doubt it. Set boundaries and communicate... this is not only good for yourself but others who are around you too will be inspired be you :)

To be good to others it needs to start with you, it will demand a better version of yourself and that will come from loving yourself, embracing who you are and the scars you have... loving yourself includes letting yourself to be free, letting your imagination flow free, exploring the paths leading towards adventure, and lastly by being you, when you will love yourself, you will see the world falling in love with you. Live life, show respect, practice gratitude, talk to strangers, read, love yourself, talk to strangers! try to help! happy living! You are amazing!

Being good to yourself is taking care of yourself. Doing a little everyday, whether it is exercise, a hobby, resting, working. Treating yourself with respect. It is a very personal decision, and I guess it will be different for everyone. But generally I'd say doing the things that make you feel more like yourself and what makes you feel fulfilled and content. By being good to yourself, you can then take care of others. That is a whole different world, because we all think differently. Generally, just treat people with respect and dignity. Pay attention to what make others smile. Maybe to that for them once.
