Simple Kindness to Yourself Can Transform You

"Simple kindness to one's self and all that lives is the most powerful transformational force of all."

~Dr. David Hawkins

When you are kind to yourself and others, you connect with the energy of the universe in a way that has the power to change yourself and others.  Essentially, you open yourself up to the possibility of what you and they can become.  The kindness denotes acceptance of yourself and others on a spiritual level.  Even if you (or they) are not the way you would like to be yet, being kind to youself sends the universe the message that "I deserve."  And when you believe that you deserve good things, you can make them happen.

This week:  Practice being kind to yourself.  Stop yourself from those overly critical thoughts.  They are not helpful. Acknowledge that even though you may not be where you want to be, you are capable and deserving of having the life you want.  Acknowledge and appreciate the things you do.  Practice being kind to others.  Reach out to people you know and to complete strangers.  Talk to that person in line at the grocery store.  Smile.  Call someone you haven't talked to in a while.  Let people know what you appreciate about them. Cherish other living things.  Observe and be at ease with animals.  Appreciate plants. Notice the feelings you have about doing these things.  Notic the transformation that these action begin to bring. That is what it is all about.

The Best Gift of All

"Make a gift of your life and lift all mankind by being kind, considerate, forgiving, and compassionate at all times, in all places, and under all conditions, with everyone as well as yourself. This is the greatest gift anyone can give."

~David Hawkins

The best gift you can give is the gift of yourself and how you live your life.  When you move beyond the petty issues we all face daily and choose to live with compassion, forgiveness, kindness and love, you are sharing your true gift with the world.  When you react to others by treating them as you would want all people to be treated in this world, you set the example for people to then pass along to others. 

This week:  Practice random acts of kindness to those you know and to complete strangers.  It doesn't require money.  It requires connecting at a human level with others.  Open doors for people.  Smile.  Give honest compliments.  Offer to help someone.  Find peace in your heart for those who have wronged you, even if you can manage this only for one week out of the rest of your life.  Reach out to someone with whom you have lost touch.  Ask yourself "How can I make a gift of MY life, even for this one week?"  Notice how you feel about it.  Discover that the gift isn't just a gift you are giving to others; it is also a gift to yourself.
