Day 134

​#Self-kindness
 
Have you ever paused to consider how to be genuinely kind to yourself? Self-compassion is the first step.
 
Self-compassion is the practice of treating oneself with the same kindness, concern and understanding that you would show a good friend. It encourages an attitude of care during times of difficulty or failure, rather than adopting a self-punitive stance.
 
Once you engage internal kindness, it naturally overflows into your day, enabling you to hold yourself accountable without losing warmth. Kindness isn’t a veil that obscures reality. It’s robust and grounded in a state of attention and awareness.
 
Kindness won’t cost you anything and may prove to add benefits that money can’t buy. You deal with issues more constructively and see them more clearly without the cloud of judgment.
 
Kindness is mighty; let it start with you.
