KINDNESS FOR SELF - START WITHIN
We often try to be kind to others—but how often do we extend that same compassion to ourselves? Practicing self-kindness can be challenging, yet it’s the foundation for spreading kindness outward and creating a lasting positive impact.​ Research has found that showing ourselves kindness and self-compassion can benefit our mental health and wellbeing. Being kinder to yourself can reduce stress, boost resilience, and improve physical health. View the Benefits of Self-Kindness Infographic to learn more.
​
Simple Ways to Practice Self-Kindness:
-
Do Something You Enjoy: Spend time each day on a hobby, activity, or simple pleasure that brings you joy.
-
Celebrate the Positive: Shift your focus toward what’s going well and acknowledge your accomplishments.
-
Be Patient: Give yourself grace and understanding, especially when things don’t go perfectly.
