As a clinical/RTT hypnotherapist

by

I’ve seen how prioritising work can come at the expense of personal well-being. It’s important to find a balance that includes kindness to oneself and others.

Define what ‘having it all’ or success means to you. It’s not just about financial abundance, but also meaningful relationships, a fulfilling career, good health, personal growth, and having fun.

And feeling good.

Kindness and the act of giving can release feel-good hormones that promote better physical and mental health. Much research shows that engaging in acts of kindness makes you happier.

Kindness is not the same as being nice. While being nice is about being pleasant and agreeable and doing what we think we should, kindness is much more.

I love the idea of being kind and paying it forward.

I first discovered Random Acts of Kindness in the early 1990s when I was attending Tony Robbin’s ‘Unleash The Power Within’ course. At the time social media was in its infancy so we purchased packs of cards that had an angel on the front and then some suggestions for blessing others with random kind acts. Suggestions included paying for the groceries of the next person in a store. Leaving money for 10 coffees for the next people to come into a coffee shop similar random and anonymous kindnesses.

Kind people have worked out that we are all human beings and not human doings and that as we get caught up in the relentless busyness of daily life, we strive to do our best even if this often falls short.

Charles Glassman sums it up nicely and says:“Kindness begins with the understanding that we all struggle.”

Kindness is about authentically being yourself and accepting others for who they are.

It means treating yourself and others with empathy and comprehension in the current moment.

Every one of us has the ability to inspire others to believe in the existence of good-hearted individuals in this world. So start by bringing the positive change you want to see in the business world and beyond; be kind to yourself and others today 🙏🏽
