Being kind to ourselves
“We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.”
-The Dalai Lama
Enjoy the colours of fall
We had the special privilege of attending teachings with His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, India last fall. What stayed with me from our time with him, was the idea that we must first be kind to ourselves, then we can help others.
This concept of self-care gives me permission to discover what I need to feel joyful and healthy, then from that place of clarity to go out into the world and share my gifts. Hopefully it will help you.
Here are a few questions about self-kindness for you to ponder:
- What will help me begin each day joyfully?
- What small change can I make in my life to enhance my kindness to myself?
- Can I trade off money and material objects in order to purchase time for my heart’s desires?
- What activities make me feel more alive, more engaged in life?
- Can I make changes in my work or other activities to reflect more of who I truly am?
Fall is truly a wonderful time of the year for quiet reflection and to embark on self-growth.
