5 Ways To Show Kindness To Yourself

“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection”

–Buddha

Do you really love yourself? How many times have you thought about yourself and not the criticisms, fears, and vices that pull you down?

Are the things that you do and the circles that you’re in reflect the kindness and love you are seeking? If not, then you should make a change for the better.

Let me show you how it's going to work. I will share to you 5 ways on how to show kindness to yourself.

1. Stay away from bad company

If you’re going to stay away from dysfunctional people, you’re encouraging positivity in your life. Even though they’ve been with you since you were young, you’re now old enough to know the difference between what’s wrong and what’s right.

2. Appreciate yourself

Give yourself a tap on your chest and say “you’ve done a great job today”. This kind of acknowledgment to yourself gives a sense of importance that you’ve done well this day.

3. Keep yourself healthy

If you're keeping yourself healthy it also means your showing kindness to yourself. Getting enough sleep, eating right, exercise and grooming mean you're looking after yourself very well.

4. Forgive yourself

Did you mess up today? It’s all right. Just like what they always say, “charge to experience”. Never blame yourself for a mistake or an opportunity that you’ve missed. Instead, treat these as lessons you need in order for you to grow.

5. Believe in yourself

If you have faith in yourself, you understand the power that lies within you. The abilities and talents you pose would be your weapon on conquering all the odds that may come along your way.

“To fall in love with yourself is the first secret to happiness.”

– Robert Morley

You are the only person in this world that knows the real value of yourself. Therefore, you need to make the best out of yourself. Stay away from negativity and live a life of kindness for oneself.
