Wellbeing Wednesday: Kindness

March 24, 2021

Every Wednesday we bring you information about our health and wellbeing services. This week we are covering kindness and how to be kind to yourself.

Kindness comes from many sources. We can be kind to others but are we kind to ourselves?

Often when someone asks how we are we say okay, but are we really? Quite often the person we should rely on the most is ourselves. However, are we always kind to ourselves? Have you ever relived a day or situation and been your own worst critic?

Negative self-talk is something some of us do, we often say things to ourselves that we would not like if we heard someone say negative things to someone else. So take a step back; rethink your negative self-talk and be KIND to yourself. The joy of being kind to yourself, naturally supports you and helps support others with our kindness to each other too.

Reaching out is a strength not a weakness. You may find the resources below useful.
