Practicing kindness and compassion can benefit you as well as other people. Here's how to make it a part of your everyday life.
Compassion and little acts of kindness can make a big difference. However, don’t feel guilty if you had a bad day and weren’t kind or compassionate enough. Try again the next day. Life can be difficult, but do not forget that others have bad days as well, and theirs may even be worse. We don’t know until they tell us. If somebody is rude to you, it’s about them, not about you. You can answer them with kindness and compassion.
If you want to change bad habits or behaviors, instead of beating yourself up, start with self-compassion. According to a study from UCLA at Berkeley, people who practice self-compassion are more motivated to improve themselves . You can also practice compassion by doing some compassionate things, such as volunteering to work with animals or people in need, giving money to your favorite charity, or simply being a shoulder to lean on for another person. It will instantly make you feel better.
