I care about myself and others.
I speak kindly. I think before I open my mouth and choose gentle words. My voice is warm and friendly. I offer constructive feedback and encouraging remarks. My compliments are sincere and abundant.
I resolve conflicts respectfully. I am sensitive to the needs of others. I try to look at situations from their perspective. I forgive and apologize easily. I let go of judgements and seek compromises.
I show empathy. I listen closely. I validate others’ feelings and experiences even when they are different from my own.
I cultivate gratitude and appreciation. When I realize how much kindness I have received from others, I am eager to express my thanks in actions and words.
I share my blessings. I volunteer at local food banks and donate money to worthy causes. I write letters to patients in nursing homes and military personnel overseas.
I cherish my family and friends. I make family dinners and movie nights a regular routine. I stay in touch through video calls and virtual parties when gatherings are restricted. I plan fun surprises, like sending flowers or a box of doughnuts.
I love myself too. I take care of my mental and physical wellbeing. I eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. I treat myself like a close friend.
Today, I remember that life is beautiful and precious. I delight in helping others and spreading happiness. My heart overflows with love.
