Kindness! This week’s message is simple. Be kind to everyone and be kind to yourself. Kindness heals. Kindness has the capacity to heal humanity – let’s set our intention everyday to be kind…to everyone. Give kindness out to everyone you meet and allow yourself to receive kindness from others.
Do we ever truly know what anyone is going through?
No
We couldn’t possibly know
Just like others couldn’t possible understand what we are truly going through. We haven’t lived their life, in their shoes, with their particular circumstances, memories or experiences and they haven’t lived in ours. Even if we live a similar life, or live in the same family, our individual circumstances are different, and our perception of the experience will always different. No two people have the same experience – even if they see and live the same thing. Even if one explains their particular circumstance – thoroughly – what one hears on the other end of the conversation can only be heard through the scope of their own knowledge, experience and emotions.
And because of this nothing ever is as it appears to be!
On the other side of expressing our circumstances, there are many people who choose to suffer in silence and will not even attempt to try and explain what they are going through, instead they keep it inside and hidden. Often hiding behind a mask of smiles and laughter.
Now that we have established that we truly do not know what anyone is going through, this week’s message is even more important to put into action.
Be kind…to everyone
This includes being kind to yourself.
Kindness heals
Kindness heals humanity
Kindness heals your Soul
Kindness heals so many things
Consciously set your intention every single day to simply BE kind
Simply BE kind to;
- family
- friends
- acquaintances
- strangers
- those you love
- those who annoy you
- those who have betrayed you
- those who frustrate, anger and push your trigger buttons
- those you judge the most
- yourself
In this process of leading your day with kindness, release your;
- judgements
- stories
- fears, angers, frustrations, resentments & annoyances
- past hurts
- worries of the future
- tendency to gossip, take things personally or make assumptions
- tendency to think worst case scenario of any situations or the worst of others or yourself
As these are the blocks and stories that keep you stuck and unable to authentically offer kindness to others or yourself, release them now, so you can consciously and willingly stop holding onto them. This is how you heal your Soul.
Whenever you offer kindness out into the world, you contribute to the healing of the world.
Sounds like a win-win to me.
Jay Shetty has a saying about showing up to “serve” in this world. “Service” he says is as simple as leaving a person or a place better than you found them (or it)
That is kindness
Let us all serve this world with kindness
Let us all leave a person or place better than we found it
Let us all serve ourselves with kindness.
This week’s intention;
Every morning take the time to consciously set your intention to be kind to everyone throughout your day. Write your intention down somewhere, put words to this intention and give it the energy needed for you to follow through. Program “Be Kind” into your phone as a reminder and have it randomly pop up for you throughout your day. Sit and breathe kindness in and breathe kindness out. Pick an intention below if it feels right for you or create one out of your own words
- Today, I offer a kind word to everyone.
- Today, I leave people feeling better than I found them.
- Today, I leave places better than I found them.
- Today, I am kind to myself.
- Today, I see others light (where I previously may have seen darkness)
- Today, I raise my vibration by being kind to everyone.
If you want to take this intention setting one step further, sit for a few moments in stillness and silence and with one hand on your heart, consciously send love, kindness and appreciation out into the world.
This is a powerful practice. Our world needs this more than ever. Kindness heals
Namaste my friends;
