Good Morning!
The last few weeks I’ve been thinking a lot about kindness. At Andersen United we celebrated Kindness Week from February 22nd- February 26th. The purpose of Kindness Week is to encourage and recognize the importance ofusing positive words and showing kind actions to one another. Here’s a video with our very own Captain Kindness and his side kick, Kid Kindness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzKuoXMVfno
Kindness, Mindfulness and Heartfulness go together. Mindful Schools says it like this:
“Mindfulness without Heartfulness is not complete
Heartfulness without Mindfulness is not complete”
Try practicing Heartfulness every day as part of your mindfulness time. Start by bring some extra kindness to yourself. Here are some phrases to get you started.
After practicing Heartfulness for yourself, you can extend your practice to wishing kindness to others, such as a family member, friend or pet.
For more on cultivating the practice of Heartfulness read this from Mindful Schools.
