Making Self-Kindness a Habit

9/4/2019

Wednesday Self-Kindness

Making a habit of practicing self-kindness has the power to change the way you think and feel about others. The research is clear we all need some personal downtime. That said, it can be hard to take a little me time, and we can fall into the trap of feeling guilty when we do. The next time you get caught in the thoughts of "I can't" or "I shouldn't," tell yourself I am doing this for "the kids." ​

Teens today have so much to process between school, homework, work, social interactions (online and offline); it is hard for them to know when to relax. It is essential for parents, educators, grandparents, and everyone between to model the importance of taking some personal time. 

Showing is better than telling. We challenge you to do these three acts of self-kindness this week. Invite a teen to join you, and you both might be surprised by how good it feels to take a break from it all. 

Wednesday Self-Kindness Challenge for September 4, 2019:

  1. Take time out of your week to read. Our minds are so active; reading is a great way to take a mental break.  

  2. Brighten up your day with some fresh flowers. Pick some wildflowers or buy flowers from your local florist.  

  3. Do something you love for 30 minutes this week. Things like, art, taking a walk, calling a friend, baking some cookies, sitting on a park bench. 

Report back and tell us how it felt to be kind to others. Comment on our blog or social media using the #ichoose2bekind

Until next time... be thoughtful, be present, be kind.

    Note From the Founder

    Hello. I am the founder of the 21 Day Kindness Challenge Program.
    I believe if we focus our efforts on helping our young people develop good character values and teach them how to listen with their hearts their world will be a kinder place to live. It is my hope that my story inspires others to “be the change they want to see in the world.”
