Micro Talk: When Kindness Feels Missing

Feelings of loneliness can cut deep — not because you’re weak, but because you’re wired for connection.

These gentle words are here to help soothe you, ease the ache of disconnection, and remind you that your worth isn’t defined by who shows up around you.

Even in silence, you matter. May you be nurtured and held by these words.

When kindness feels absent around me.

Remember,

Everyone passes through times when kindness feels absent.

We all disconnect at moments.

It's part of being human and we reconnect again in ways that matter.

This ebb and flow is the rhythm of life.

Kindness is needed by all of us and when it seems missing on the outside,

It helps to know that unkind thoughts inside are also part of the mind's habits.

They come and go.

You don't need to ask your mind for permission to be kind.

It will often give you reasons why you shouldn't.

Instead,

Kindness is something you can choose.

In thoughts,

Words,

In small actions.

Even a gentle phrase to yourself,

A caring memory,

Or a small act of compassion towards another creates ripples.

Kindness goes both ways.

When you offer it to yourself,

You restore the energy and motivation to share it with others.

This is how connection deepens.

So carry this truth with you.

You are worthy of kindness,

Always,

And each small act towards yourself or others makes the world a little softer for everyone.

When kindness feels absent around me,

I choose to offer care to myself and let this ripple outwards.

When kindness feels absent around me,

I choose to offer care to myself and let this ripple outward.

May kindness flow through me even when it feels missing outside.

Kindness begins here with me.

This meditation has come to an end.

I believe in the ripple effect, starting with myself. Thanks Reuben 🙏🏻

Good morning Reuben! It was beautiful Reuben and it felt so good to know that that little act of kindness to oneself will have a ripple effect that will change the feeling of sadness that comes during times when one feels a lack of it all around. Forever, Tanusree ❤️💕

Lovely. And very poignant on world kindness day.
I try to always be kind but often lapse …kindness, gentleness these are the things that move us forward.
