Be Kind

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! Set an intention everyday to be kind…to everyone. Give kindness out to everyone you meet and allow yourself to receive kindness from others.

Can you ever truly know what anyone is going through?

No

You couldn’t possibly know

Just like others couldn’t possible understand what you are going through. You haven’t lived their life, in their shoes, with their particular circumstances, memories or experiences and they haven’t lived in yours. Even if you live a similar life, or live in the same family, your individual circumstances are different, and your 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 another hears on the other end of the conversation can only be heard through the scope of their own experience, thoughts, beliefs, knowledge,and emotions.

And because of this nothing ever is as it appears to be!

There are also many individuals 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, or hiding behind closed doors.

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 community

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 the process of living your day through kindness, you can 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
• tendency to think the worst of others or yourself

Practicing kindness offers you the ability to remove many of these above fear blocks and stories. Practice kindness enough and it will become who you are! It will eventually feel authentic to offer kindness to others or yourself on a regular basis. This is how to 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 this intention down, give the energy of words to this intention to help you 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 affirmation below if it feels right for you;

1. I offer a kind word to everyone.
2. I leave people feeling better than I found them.
3. I leave places better than I found them.
4. I am kind to myself.
5. I raise my own joy, by being kind to everyone.

If you want to take this intention, a step further… sit for a few moments in stillness & silence and with one hand on your heart – consciously send love, kindness and appreciation out into the world. It just feels so good to do this!

This is a powerful practice. Our world needs this more than ever. Kindness heals

Namaste my friends;
