Niki of Richness of a Simple Life is running the kindness challenge and early on convinced me that this is something that I should do. This basically means that as a challenge I need to challenge myself to be kind in the way set for that week and then write a blog post about it. I didn’t really know what I was letting myself in for until a few days ago when I saw this post:
https://therichnessofasimplelife.wordpress.com/2017/04/30/before-post-2/
and saw the topics:
- Week 1 | Self-love
- Week 2 | Self-compassion
- Week 3 | Self-acceptance
- Week 4 | Kindness role model
- Week 5 | Choosing kindness
- Week 6 | Kindness without expectation
- Week 7 | Grateful for kindness
So – the big question… what ARE my intentions?
The thing is I’m not sure now – I had envisioned this mainly being about kindness to those around me as well myself so the self love and acceptance is a slight curveball. I guess I’ll just roll with it and see what happens.
But finding a bit of inner peace would be a good thing right now as I don’t have much of that – I also think that it’s easier to be kinder to others if you can be kind to yourself right?
I guess this is going to be a learning curve.

I do think it’s easier to be kinder to others when you’re kind to yourself. I like to imagine it as the real currency our world is supposed to have – plenty of resources for everyone, so let’s spread it around. I look forward to playing in this challenge along side you.

The self love and acceptance was a slight curveball for me too, but a welcome one. Like you say, inner peace wont be a bad thing and if it brings a little of that then great! 🙂
