Monday Musings & Inspirations: Where Does Kindness Begin?

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

Kindness may seem to some as a huge word as well as task.  I noticed a sign recently that said, "be kind!" Where does kindness begin?  

 

Kindness begins with being kind to oneself.  It means finding the way to silence the inner self critics that live in one's conscioussness.  It also means, applying that same principle to others you meet.

 

It may seem difficult  to live life this way, because it takes   practice, and more practice on a daily basis.  The urge to be snarky is tempting.  However, it is well worth staying on course.  It is worth it, because in the long run, life just keeps getting better and better! 

 

"Transform your world by transforming your internal state. Start by learning to let go of negative self judgment, and replace it with positive and loving thoughts about yourself. Be kind to yourself, and watch your external world change."

~ Anita Moorjani 

 

"You have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens."

~ Louise Hay

 

"Loving everything about yourself - even the 'unacceptable' - is an act of personal power. It is the beginning of healing."

~ Christiane Northrup

Nina Hollander, Broker  It is a tough job to break those patterns of self analysis, and self recrimination.  It is very freeing to do so and kindness to oneself becomes a habit.  A

Michael Jacobs you bring up and excellent point.  It should be part and parcel or our education and lifestyle.  Kindness towards yourself give you the ability to share it with everyone else...if you don't take care of yourself, there is nothing to give...as a friend or our says, you cannot get sick enough to help those who are unwell...A

I truly believe the reason we are having so many problems in our Country is because we have forgotten how to be kind.

Hi Ron and Alexandra- you're right, we are on the same wavelength. I have always believed that until you like yourself and treat yourself with kindness, you cannot share that kindness with others.

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty we have forgotten how to be kind to ourselves.  We cannot give kindness without  knowing what it feels like.  I think that there are an abundance of kind people among us.  Ron and I are fortunate to know many. A

Morning Alexanda.

I find myself with inter kindness.  Without it, no one would want to be around me.  So, today I'm filled with inner peace as I am most any day I wake up.
