When you practice kindness towards others it helps them, and surprisingly, it will help you too.

Acts of kindness are motivated by a selfless desire to help another person. However, performing random acts of kindness is one of the best ways to increase your happiness.

There are so many ways you can extend yourself. Being kind could mean:

-Leaving a thank you note for your delivery man.
-Preparing food for an elderly neighbor.
-Volunteering at a local charity.

Extending kindness can improve your:

-Physical and mental health.
-Release stress and tension.
-Calming your emotions.
-Boosting your immune system.
-Strengthening your connection with others.
-Fostering a sense of belonging.

Starting today, practices kindness and then keep it up the rest of the week. You’ll feel happier and stronger, which will alleviate stress and worry!

Focus on what is in your control and let go of what’s not

We can all experience mindfulness anywhere, anytime by paying attention with an open attitude. There are many ways to intentionally practice mindfulness throughout the day. They can easily be incorporated into daily tasks and should not take any extra time.

Choose a daily task to bring mindfulness into your day, such as brushing your teeth, getting dressed, taking a steamy shower, eating etc...

Bring a sense of exploration and curiosity to your daily routine. Remember not to judge yourself but to accept what arises. Simply observe the way things are as they are right now.

You can create a habit of mindfulness:

 Connect with your intention—remind yourself why you want to practice, how it supports your values (for example, that it will help you be more present to your children, less reactive at work, more at ease with yourself).

 Notice the rewards, the benefits of your practice.

 Deliberately thank yourself for practicing.

 Create a pattern: for example, sit for five minutes when you get up every day and just be present with yourself, your breath and body sensations.

 Set reminders. These can be visual cues or computer pings or anything else that works for you.

 Reflect on your practice—what worked? What helped you to start?

 Make a commitment to yourself—even write it up with specifics about what you plan to do.

Mindfulness and meditation can help you gain clarity, calm the overthinking mind, and anchor yourself in the present moment no matter what situations or circumstances are taking place around you. You don’t have to wait for things to change in the external world before you experience a profound shift in your inner world for greater peace, love, joy and happiness
