Be kind.

Be kind. Not just to others but yourself. Is this hard for you? It is for me. I save all my kindness for others instead of myself. Why is it so hard to be kind? To ourselves? Too much effort at times? Why can’t I be kind to me?

It takes contentment. I feel like contentment is so hard to grasp. Expecting it to be automatic. Definitely realizing I have never been truly content. With me. When 2023 started I knew I needed things to be different with my health. Mentally, physically, emotionally snd spiritually. I did not make a new year resolution. Instead, I made small little goals. For the first time in a long time I feel contentment setting in. Goodness it feels good. Instead of setting myself up for failure, like I have done every year. I decided to put God first. Everything else would fall into place.

For me. It’s going to take a lot of time, patience, consistency, growth, and believing in myself. I have to stop worrying about all outside distractions and focus on what and who God has called me to do and be. It’s that simple. I choose today. To be different. To be kind. To myself. To others. With everything I have.

Will you be kind to yourself today?
