Start the Week with Self Love

It’s Monday, it’s a brand-new week and brand-new possibilities lie ahead.  I’m starting the week with the intention to be kind and gentle with myself first.  No matter what comes up, these are the two energies I’m focusing on to get me through everything.  When I feel restless, when I have low energy, when I’m being lazy, procrastinating and get annoyed at myself.  When my body hurts and I can’t go out for a walk and I’m upset.  When I let myself get frustrated, forgetting myself and eating out of control…I’m leaning on – kind and gentle.

be kind and gentle

Sometimes we just need a little kindness and gentleness to get us through.  Not every day can be the same, not every day can we expect the same, and when we just plain fall off the wagon, we need to remember to be – kind and gentle – with ourselves.

I wrote kind and gentle on a sticky note and stuck it on my fridge so I can see it every day.  Use these words if they feel good for you, or use whatever words feel good, and just remind yourself you deserve to be – kind and gentle – with yourself.

What a Kind Word Can Do

I don’t think this will be a surprise to anyone, but giving away a kind word is free.  A positive kind word will definitely inspire an inner shift in how we feel.  Just think of how you felt the last time someone gave you a compliment out of the blue, telling you – great job…you look beautiful…I bet that felt pretty good, It most likely lit you up and put a smile on your face.  🙂

kind word

A positive kind word can change someone’s day or even days.  So, let’s dole it out, let’s give it freely from our heart, it’s free, especially now during the holiday season when we’re all so busy rushing about trying to get it all done, and maybe feeling a bit stressed with all that is on our to do lists.  Receiving a kind word can uplift our spirit and create a sense of well-being.  Just a simple – thank you – coming from the heart can touch someone in a special way and transform their day.

And you never know, your kind word may have a ripple effect, that person now may turn around and do the same, and change someone else’s day.

So let’s do it, my kind word for you lovelies is – You are AMAZING!!!

Kindest Blessings
