Practical spirituality
Kindness is so under-rated. Being kind makes you feel so great. People really appreciate it, especially in these times where people seem to have less time and more to worry about than ever before.
Kindness has the capacity to change the tone of someone's entire day. Maybe even their entire life. It turns frowns upside down and it is totally free. Costs Nada.
Kindness begins with kindness to self. If you listen to the self talk, that voice within that you observe from your vantage point of the soul and recognise unkind words being self directed....stop listening. Encourage positive self talk, acceptance of self and introduce kind and compassionate self talk into your day. Even if to begin with it feels a bit fake. Follow the old saying "fake it till you make it". As soon as you begin being naturally kind and compassionate to yourself, it is like planting a seed in fertile ground. That kindness sprouts and grows and pours out of you from every pore. And sets off an avalanche that continues to flow well beyond what you could imagine.
Kindness inspires. Kindness supports and affirms existence. Kindness changes lives. Just. Be. Kind.
