Claiming Kindness
This week’s homework:
Actively review the aspects in your life where perhaps love and kindness are secondary to something else. Be on alert for any impulses. Are you reacting from fear, or are you proactive from the point of view of love and kindness? Any place where you might find that reaction in fear, choose to be active in reframing that moment to love and kindness. Not just in interactions with other people, but also with yourself.
