Exercising Kindness
"Kindness can be defined as being friendly, helpful, generous and considerate. The practice of kindness has been shown to improve self-esteem, mood, empathy, and compassion. It can decrease blood pressure and the body level of cortisol, which is a hormone that is triggered by stress. Thus, practicing kindness can help people live longer and healthier lives.
Expression of Kindness
It is also important to remember to be kind to yourself. You can do so through use of positive self-talk, being grateful, and taking time to take care of yourself. Most people know the Golden Rule, “Treat others as you would want to be treated.”
Kindness Through Hypnosis
During hypnosis you can use your imagination to rehearse kind acts that you would like to undertake, which will help you put them into action. Mental rehearsal can also encourage you to practice kindness because you will be better able to look forward to the resulting positive outcomes.
Focus on loving kindness thoughts can lead to profound changes. Such thoughts can include, “May you be healthy, may you be happy, may you be content, and may you be at ease.”"
