How Kindness Can Benefit Your Health

Showing Kindness. It’s Good For Your Health!
A few simple tips and ideas
Hi there! Your latest blog post is here!
I have been thinking about kindness this week. Showing kindness to yourself (and others) really is good for your health. You could allow yourself some “me time”. But, I hear you say “I’d feel guilty” or “I don’t have the time”. As someone recently said to me “you need to put your own oxygen mask on before helping others”. We are wonderful, we are all amazing and we deserve this!
Top Tips on how you can be kind to yourself
Talk kindly to yourself
Speak to yourself as you would to the people you love and care about.
Practise gratitude
Think of a few things in the morning that you are thankful for. It can be anything. Write them down and read them again in the evening.
Simple mindful practise
Just pause what you’re doing. Think and focus on the present moment. Mindfulness is about paying attention to the here and now. You could mindfully go for a walk or brush your teeth or do the dishes.
Spend time in or around nature
This could be your garden (I try and do this every day). Or perhaps a walk in a nearby park. Whatever gets you outside. Embrace the elements!
Self-care
Keeping healthy and looking after yourself. Find time for yourself in the day. Just 5 minutes helps. Keep to a routine if you can. Get up at the same time each day. Having your hair done or go for a massage.
