Kindness Begins at Home

Kindness is something we offer others (or at least we aim to). It’s an expression that we hope to share with others, but equally as important, it’s something we need to extend to our inner growth and development. How we speak to ourselves in the moments when no one’s around us and when no one is watching. Do we allow ourselves grace when fall short? How do we see ourselves in the mirror every morning when we wake up? Is it positive? Are we allowing ourselves the space to forgive ourselves for own missteps?

Mindfulness is yet again providing us and inviting us to take notice of the dialogue and the relationship we have with ourselves. It’s important to spot the times when we are not pushing or uplifting ourselves but spending too much time correcting and condemning ourselves. We are very harsh to our own well-being and often our biggest enemy and obstacle to peace. I wanted Kind Rebirths to exist as an opportunity to interrupt that cycle of negativity. And we don’t do it with false images of positivity or giving ourselves trinkets and falsehoods that don’t do anything but overshadow deeper issues. That said, we confront this issue with understanding.

Don’t be afraid to show kindness to who you are. You don’t have to avoid discomfort or personal accountability to do so; we create space for learning. The shifts we need to make in order to move through the illusions of the world comes by not judging how circumstances exist, but how we respond with mindful compassion, especially to ourselves. A Kind Rebirth is a return to the core of who we want to be and who can come to be. It's journey that we need higher levels of patience if we want to reap the higher levels of positive return. But we can’t do that if we are constantly beating ourselves up for our mistakes. Own them, study them, and then send them on their way. Enjoy the experience each mindful action at a time.

Stay mindful…
