♥️♥️Kindness is the state of caring about other people’s well-being and taking action to help make other people’s lives better and happier.  We can define kindness as the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Affection, gentleness, warmth, concern, is some of the caring words that are associated with kindness. While kindness has a connotation of meaning someone is naive or weak, that is not the case. Being kind often requires courage and strength. Kindness is an interpersonal skill. It is social glue that allows us to connect with others and build meaningful relationships with them. When someone does something kind for us, we like them more and we want to cooperate with them more. When we do something kind for someone, we earn their trust and respect, and we feel better about ourselves for being a good person. Kindness is a reciprocal relationship. It becomes a cycle that strengthens our bond with friends, family, lovers, co-workers, and acquaintances. The

How do you talk to yourself? By that, I don’t mean talking out-loud while walking down the street, or sitting alone, I mean, what is the tone of your inner dialogue: the conversations we have with ourselves in the privacy of our own mind? The words we use to speak to ourselves can have a huge impact on us. If you’re constantly putting yourself down, calling yourself names and judging yourself, you’ll eventually start to believe those things about yourself, even if they’re not true. Self talk can have a big impact on your success. Here are some tips for turning your self talk around. Be aware of what you’re saying to yourself. You might be surprised at just how often you put yourself down. The important piece of this step is to be non-judgmental. If you’re already calling yourself dumb, or saying you’ll never get the job, judging yourself further is the opposite of helpful. It never ceases to amaze me just how unkind we can be to ourselves. And then we wonder why we are un

Art of mindful living ♥️🧘🏻‍♀️ While meditating today morning, I heard the sounds of so many different things. It made me wonder , 🔥Why do I strive to live out the various aspects of life? 🔥Why do we strive? 🔥Isn’t the act of striving, the effort we make to change “what is” into something else? At strive level, we try to make who we are into someone we aren’t. 🔥Isn’t there some sort of unacceptance present in the act of striving? We seem to be constantly escaping what is.  The deliberate transformation of “what is” into something different is marketed to us each day.  We’re also being told that other people must be more like us. Because we are convinced that others should uphold similar “values” that we do. I have observed that it is largely psychological.  We might have developed social structures and institutions to focus or channel our mental striving.  However, as long as mental discord and darkness are present, those institutions and structures are ineffective. Stri

Mark Twain once said, “The worst loneliness is to not be comfortable with yourself.”   He couldn’t be more right. If you finally accept yourself and your vulnerabilities, your life will be much more liberating. Self-acceptance means accepting your whole self without any kind of judgment. This includes your weaknesses and your quirky, difficult parts, the ones that you probably try to deny or suppress. We   frequently put ourselves down, feel critical of our body, or fear that other people will “find it out?” our reactions may be so automatic that we don’t even question them.  If instead you slow down a little bit and become aware of what’s happening in your mind, you can begin to ask important questions like these to yourself: Is this a healthy/right way to relate to myself? Will it lead to happiness or keep me in a cycle of distress? Is this what I truly wa nt? Self-Acceptance Can Be Difficult ...... Here are few of those reasons why self-accept
