What She Say?? Be Kind
I used to scoff at people making this statement. Maybe because of its simplicity or maybe because it sounded more like an admonishment that I was being everything but kind. But then when I started investigating it for myself that’s when I realized, that I was confusing politeness with kindness. Politeness is a fake superficial manner in which required no investment no self reflection. But being kind is an adjective, it is an action. If you are kind to yourself first it’s like exercise memory you will continue and will be kind to others. Let that sit with you for a while. I am being kind to myself. I’ll be kind to others. Very simple. Repeat.
Lean into the spirit of the New Year by counting your blessings, giving to others, and spreading happiness! I know I will!
It is the beginning of a New Year so be kind to your mind and others. Give love to receive love.
