52 weeks of bodily bliss, week 35: K I N D

September it is. Life will speed up with a new beginning for many. Kids go back to school, work gets a little more serious, the weather will be a little harder on us etc.  Therefore it is likely that the energies may press us against the wall a little more.  What happens a lot when the pressures increase is that, many of us get more stressed, anxious, impatient, and end up 'taking it out' on our immediate environment.  A mean word, a miscalculated outburst of frustration and the likes, can truly damage more than it was worth letting it out for...

At the start of your day focus on kindness for a few seconds and say thank you for your ability to meet life each day, in kindness.

Stay aware and conscious, even more than you have been...  Observe yourself the minute you feel, and we always do, stress increasing and patience decreasing. When you KNOW the easiest would be to let your short temper loose on the wrong person, bite your lip, take an extra breath and proceed after a big exhale to communicate what you may, with KINDNESS.

You may think this is too small to pay big attention to. However, I would recommend not waiting until an unkind gesture is uttered, that you will wish for the rest of your life, you'd taken a big breath prior :)

In kindess...
Monika
