"The extraordinary power of kindness" - by BBC Ideas

​I came across this video today, and it struck a chord in me. Our world is in a bad shape, and this video by BBC Ideas shares that there is actually something we can all do everyday, right now, to make our world better. 

​I would just like to add that we do not have to find a stranger to start our kind acts on, because the most important person we are often unkind to, is ourselves.

Hence, let's start this project of practising kindness today, beginning with ourselves:
- take a deep breath, and express gratitude for how far we have come along during these difficult times
- eat well, exercise regularly and sleep enough to be kind to our bodies
- slow down, reflect and meditate to be kind to our minds
- know that we are not perfect, and are not meant to be, and strive to be kind to ourselves every single day

Moving along, let's practise kindness for:
- Our immediate family or those who are living with us
- Our family and friends
- Neighbours and casual acquaintances
- Everyone else we meet in our daily lives

Let's start this kindness project for ourselves, our loved ones, people we know, people we have yet to meet, and the future generations, today :)
