Let's go to the wisdom of the waves for our daily dose of gentle inspiration.
Remember everyone has periods of feeling disconnected.
It's part of why we are here.
We disconnect so we can reconnect.
This is the reality of life.
And so it is.
Everyone needs kindness.
We all go through tough times.
It's part of being a spiritual being having a human experience.
Everyone has something they are struggling with that causes them some concern.
No matter how tough a situation can be for us,
Whether we are in a difficult situation,
An argument with a friend or you have received some disappointing news,
You are always better off if you have a friend by your side.
Someone who is kind and caring.
Someone who says kind things when you are in pain.
When times are tough,
It's not the natural tendency of the mind to be kind to ourselves.
Often we get hooked by unkind thoughts.
Unkind thoughts are natural and sometimes happen often.
This is normal.
But it is not helpful to be hooked by them,
Because when we get hooked by these unkind thoughts,
We get pulled away from who we really are at a deeper level.
Here's a quote by Eckhart Tolle.
Don't ask your mind for permission to be kind to yourself.
It will give you plenty of reasons as to why you shouldn't.
This quote helps us give the green light to unkind thoughts.
The green light as in allowing them to be and not giving them any energy.
So we can redirect kindness towards ourselves,
Maybe for experiencing a thought that is unkind.
Even in the most difficult situations,
There are little things we can do to be kind and caring.
Even little things we can do can make a difference.
There is someone you know well that has kind tendencies.
Allow yourself to recall a time,
Whether it's recent or distant,
Where you were being kind to somebody.
Maybe it was altruistically.
Maybe because they were going through a tough patch in their lives.
Notice where you are.
Notice the other person.
What are they saying or doing?
This is an example of how kindness goes both ways.
Kindness comes in thoughts,
Words and actions.
Kind thoughts,
Well wishes that we can send out to somebody.
May you be well.
Kind words.
I am here for you.
I appreciate you because.
.
.
How have you used your hands in kind ways?
Every small kind action makes a difference.
Everybody needs kindness.
It's our job to fine tune the quality of kindness because everybody is different in how they receive this.
Enhancing moments of meaningful connection for you and those around you.
Remember,
Kindness goes both ways.
And this is something to be grateful for.
