Choosing kindness is a choice each of us can make every day — for yourself and others. Â
Kindness begins with practicing self-compassion. Self-compassion involves being kind to yourself, accepting your mistakes and shortcomings and showing the same understanding towards ourselves as we would a friend experiencing a tough time or setback. How each of us treat ourselves influences our treatment of others. Respecting each other’s values, beliefs and lifestyles, and showing kindness can positively impact the well-being and safety of individuals, as well as the community.
