Be Kind (2)

Be Kind to Yourself

A lot of times, many who are very kind, to their family, friends, neighbours, even to people they don't know are NOT kind when it comes to themselves.

We forgive and give to others easily while we find it really hard to forgive and give ourselves the best.

We overwork ourselves, yet advise others to take it easy.

We expend our energy on training and helping others and forget we also matter.

Many times, we think self-compassion or self-kindness is selfishness, laziness, self-pity or self-obsession.

IT IS NOT!

Self Kindness is such a powerful force that heals your mind, body and soul, it also teaches you how to treat others.

My Darling, no matter what you are going through, be kind to yourself:

• Breath

• Forgive yourself

• Create a regular God and me time

• Talk to yourself compassionately- Self-Talks

• Rest

• Go swimming

• Intentionally stay away from negative people

• Treat yourself to a self-care weekend (Spa sessions, Manicure, Pedicure, Face treatment, Sauna bath etc.)

• Buy that shirt, dress or shoe you love so much

• Eat that food you've been craving

Go above and beyond for yourself! You do it for family, friends, and colleagues, but don’t forget about YOU. It’s important to include yourself… You are worthy of your own kindness, too! -Stephanie Lahart

Kindness is in vogue. Be kind to yourself.- Wesam Fawzi

I Love You!
