Change Yourself

Change Yourself

The word kindness is made up of two syllables-KIND and NESS. KIND means forgiving, warm-hearted, friendly, of a sympathetic or helpful nature, gentle, merciful, and tender. NESS is a suffix that means a state, condition, quality or degree. When the two syllables are combined they result in the following definition: KINDNESS: The quality or state of being warm-hearted, considerate, humane and sympathetic.   

Doing things differently for a change is as good as a rest. Be kind to yourself; make small changes in your life. Go all out to do something kind and compassionate for yourself. Respect yourself, forgive yourself. Choose to move forward instead of remaining stuck in the past or replaying a mistake you made over and over again in your mind.  

In short, you must plan to do something kind for yourself, and then stick to that plan. Our lives are much too busy these days to let it fall to chance or when you get around to it. Being kind to yourself will ultimately result in your being kind to others.
