Including Ourselves in Our Circle of Kindness

HeartWorks

This session was very good and helped me to feel better about myself. However, I do feel that HeartWorks could have given more pauses to allow people to reflect on what they're saying.

Not yet

While I see the good that can be done by this, I still am not able to get to the point of thinking myself worthy of such good. I just don't like myself .... maybe some day I'll be there. Maybe not.

Kindness To: Me Love: Me

This meditation was wonderful! We tend to put ourselves on the back burner and forget that we need and deserve kindness, too. We get spread too thin during our daily lives that we forget to be kind to ourselves. This is a great reminder!

Be kind with yoursellf

I'm the fisrt person I can count on to bring kindness to me, I'm rhe fist person I can count on to be happy

Heartworks

I was comfortable until it said about sitting close to the person you love. I prefer my own space. Even though I still love the person. I prefer to keep people at arms length

Self love

All the feelings of anxiousness about my life, my future, my wellbeing, amount to a sort of self love. I can work with these feelings and cultivate a more healthy form of self love for myself.

Empty words

I was okay with giving kindness to the person I value and really felt inside of me that I want them to be happy but when it came to me and being kind I said the words I said that I want to be happy but never felt it !! It was like empty words .. I wish I will get to the point where I feel it

I am learning that....

I am worthy of unconditional love. I am learning that I must live my life for what works for me. That is the only way I can help others to love themselves. I must and WILL practice what I preach. Praise myself for embracing this journey called life and being more open to sharing resilience from perceived failure. I love me more and more each minute 😊

Kinda weird

It kinda of felt weird and I kepy getting distracted because she was telling me to say I love myself and will do anything for myself but it was also weird because I was focusing on my dog

Deeply

Spread kindness and love to yourself ❤️ yes I love it So moving and motivating for it to be ok to love ones self

Don't take things for granted

If u take things for granted it will make ur life hard and miserable

True love is not need

Loving myself as passionately as I try to love others, takes me to a place where love is unconditional, that is, true love...

Commit to Kindness

I'm not sure where the messages came from that made it so automatic for me to be so unkind to myself. Treating myself with simple kindness opens a part of me that has felt lost, forgotten, and devalued. Each simple kindness softens my defenses. I want to know who I will be from being kind to myself. I think I will be beautiful. I commit to kindness toward myself.

Your own self

It's sometimes hard to realize or admit that the mechanism of caring for others lies within oneself. Take care of yourself. Value what you can do for yourself, and thereafter what you can do for others, and not the other way around.

Love yourself

It’s harder to love yourself than other people and I have never said those words to myself. It was refreshing yet hard.

Love and kindness for yourself

I often forget about myself and give others love and kindness they deserve, but don’t realize I also need it in return

How do I learn to love myself ?

When constantly being brought down by the people around us we tend to lose all hope and start hating ourselves because we feel that we aren’t worth any of those kind words and love . We turn away from the fact that we were created for a reason , but we lose ourselves trying to please everyone else .

Circle of Kindness

I find that I easily overlook my own need to be kind to myself for the sake of being kind to others... A realization has just taken place regarding fulfilling my personal needs to myself for myself, in order to balance my life.

Kindness to Self...!

I learned that loving, caring & showing kindness to self same like our loved ones is an important criteria to keep ourself positive...!

3rd session

I learned to not forget to share my kindness and love with myself.

Day 2

I need to stay more focused. I am like a squirrel and get easily distracted.

Finding Myself

I Need To Find The Person Worth My Kindness And I Need To Focus

Realization

I learned that I honestly want to be happy and that I want my husband to be happy too. I want us to be happy together again.

Distracted

Not tuned in, not focused, anxious, second guessing everyone including myself, also emotionally and physically exhausted.

Melinda

I understand today’s session. When you genuinely feel that way people tend to hurt you and use you. They intentionally say and do things to hurt you because it’s easy for them. I do take it personally and carry it with me for a long time. This, I know, will eventually wear on me making me feel unworthy.

Kindness

I want to focus much more on helping others than helping myself and being kind to myself. From little on we learn to be kind to others first. Beginning to understand where these self messages came from

Kindness

I learned that it is okay to be proud of myself and to be happy with who I am. I learned it is okay to accept kindness.

Loving yourself isn't as hard as you might think

If you can be kind to others you can be kind to yourself - what else needs to be said

Learning to love myself

I learned that it is important to not only want happiness and successfulness for other people but I also want these things for myself. To be happy, healthy, loving, educated, grounded and have dreams and aspirations that I can work my way towards.

Kibdness

I learned that I do need to extend kindness and love to myself. I need to let go of what I think I should be or become to feel love and acceptance. Just as I believe you must be kind, gentle and loving towards others I must focus and giving myself that same kind of attention.

Kindness

Whoa, did I ever need this one!!! I do forget that I'm worthy of being loved, having peace and calm in my life, and being happy. It's so nice to be reminded of that and then act on it.

Loving Myself

Making a mistake doesn’t mean I’m a bad person, and splitting with some shouldn’t be accompanied by ill will. By learning to love myself I can then truly love someone else

My first session

I learned that I can intentionally take a moment to not worry

Remember that you can love yourself

I think I often reach out to others, even complete strangers, with love in lieu of concentrating some love upon myself. I “wear my heart on my sleeve” and often give it away too quickly or too easily. I can find myself hurt then, because the love I gave was nor earned or deserved...just felt and given quickly. If I can learn to retain that love inside and keep it for myself, give it to myself instead of strangers I call new friends, I might not feel so hurt as often...I probably won’t take this advice or learning to heart frankly! Love? It’s who I am! I like that about myself, and don’t really wish to change that!

4th Session

This one didn’t quite do anything for me. I learned a while ago to love myself and others and to want happiness for myself and others. However if you are in a place where these are not the focus of your daily life, then this session is absolutely necessary.

I learned that there is no one for whom I can think these loving words

K these loving words. Too short for whom? Now I am super irritated for being corrected.

I learned that...

I am worth the kindness I show others. The kind things I say to those I love are meant for me too. I am worthy.

Kindness

I am loved and also lucky to have a person in my life that cares for me and also likes me and is kind

Reflecting

I learned that i’m not always kind to myself, if at all. This 3 minute meditation revealed how hyper critical i am of myself.

Mmm

I’m kinder to others than people are to me, and that just leads to me getting hurt tbh. Maybe that will change from now on

Kindness

Slowing down and remembering to include ourselves in our circle of kindness is so important and was just what I needed today. Thank you.

one in the same

i learned that sometimes i need to apply the kind words and energy that I give to others, to myself. i need to appreciate myself in every way possible.

Love and appreciation

I need to express love and appreciation more often. Not only for my mate but for both of us along with myself as well.

Ok love

My roommate is very nice, I want her in my life and I keep feeling completely freaky when I see her!

Kindess

I think this meditation is very useful, especially for people who might care for others but don’t give themselves enough love and kindness. I care very deeply for many people in my life but this helped me realize I also need to give myself kindness too in order to be less anxious and be more happy in life.

Don’t be too hard on yourself be kind to yourself

I too need to show myself kindness and I can’t expect to get it of everybody if I don’t show it to myself first that does not mean pushing myself and being harsh on myself it means being kind to myself and then I will get it from others thanks Aura

Meditation

I need to practice more meditations and yoga everyday. Trying to sleep better after night work.

We must be kind to ourselves

Kindness to others is essential, but kindness to myself is almost a pre-requisite to make that possible.

We are worthy

We are all worthy of kindness to ourselves. We all deserve happiness so why do so many of us doubt this. We are told we must be a certain thing, your public persona and hide who you truely are. Of course this brings fear and doubt leading to lose of self worth and at times hate. I had trouble settling on one person so I expanded the love to our world, to every being on, in and around. Love is all around, reach out for some and give back love - wouldn’t it be a wonderful world if each of us knew without a doubt we were loved.

Ease

I want my partner, Harrison and I to live in ease. I want nothing but happiness for us. She bonded in on exactly what I’ve been craving, living with ease.

When I skip meditation , I miss it. It is hard to take care of my

take care of myself because I spend much time taking care of other. I’m glad I took time now.

Thinking of others

I learned that loving, thinking and caring for others, brings peace and love to myself. Would like to try to say it, rather than just listen to it.

Flexibility

I learned that coincidence is random and I must be flexible in order to take advantage of good things that can come randomly.

Self Love

Self love is still one of my biggest battles. I need to be as kind to myself as I am to others.

Mindless

It is not just about breathing it is about a whole lot of other things

Kindness

I learned that I should include myself in my quest to be kind to others.

Kindness

Starts with myself before it can spread to others to more I am kind to myself I can be more kind to others. That is the Gift I can give to the world.

I Forget Sometimes

To include myself in the kindness and love I give to others.

I AM WORTHY.

I often forget that I am worthy of kindness from myself as well as others. I open my heart to everyone but me. I have to remind myself daily that I am worthy.

Kind

I have to be kind to myself in order to be truly kind to others. I cannot pour from an empty cup

I am worthy

I am enough. I deserve unconditional love and kindness from myself as well as others.

I Deserve

I need to start treating myself with kindness and love. I deserve that...

Love yourself

I learned how to feel to love myself. To cherish myself, and make myself happy

1/9/18

I learned that we must be kind and care for ourselves too. Maybe we won’t always have someone there for us, but if we show love to our own self, we can get through things. It was nice to take a few minutes to show my heart and mind that I do care about it.

Kindness and love.

I can be kind to myself like I am to others. I want to be happy. My happiness is not measured by others but by my own actions.

Kindness to self

I should give myself the love that I do deeply gave to the man I loved. I’m here beating myself up about what I could have or should have done, meanwhile, he’s living his life. I need to remember that I too am deserving or the love that I give to others. I need to love myself the way I love others.

1/14/18

It’s ok to let yourself be happy. It’s nice to be kind to oneself, just as you do others.

Be Kind to YOU

Recently, I have found myself in a depression and realize how toxic I have been to myself. This meditation came at just the right time to remind me that I have to remember that I am worthy of love and kindness and I need to treat myself that way. This was a good way to take a moment to focus on me and teach me how to be more compassionate to myself as well as others.

Loving myself

Is not vain but an important way of enabling myself to better love others too.

Including myself isnhard

It is so much easier to feel kindness and compassion for others. Finding kindness and compassion for myself will be difficult. I was only able to do it when I still pictured someone I care deeply about by my side. When I wasn’t picturing them, it was harder to feeling kindness for myself. But I can still breathe and bring calm to myself even if I cannot bring compassion yet.

I must love myself as well

This is quite helpful to picture a loved one and the feeling and words we have for them and liken them to how we need to speak to and feel about ourselves. For someone who often fails to love them self and to value their own worth this comparison puts a new perspective on how we should view ourselves.

Happiness and love.

I should be kind to myself and not just others. I should care about my own happiness and others. I should try to do everything I can to show people that there is love in their life.

Relaxing day

I get to relax at home do my de stress therapy & have tea write my journal &!do my yoga & do more my colouring therapy

Meditation 4

It is also important to show kindness to me! I am often too hard on myself, therefore, this one was s great reminder

Love yourself

I learned that I need to tell myself that I love and care for myself and Alex but always remember to tell myself that I love me too.

2nd day

i’m worthy of love and that i love myself just as must is. i must love myself more

Kindness

I need this in abundance. If I am not kind to myself the. I can’t expect others to be.

Self love

A hard concept to grasp, but something so obtainable. Once you obtain that, you are truly able to conquer any obstacle set before you

Difficult But Important

This meditation took me outside my comfort zone, but in a very good way. I envisioned my daughter at first, then including myself in those words brought me to think about how it impacts her to engage in negative self-talk.

Amabilidad

Muchas veces es más fácil ser amable, bondadoso y compasivo con cualquier otro que no sea uno mismo. De hecho creo que tuve que aprender a la mala. Tuve que darme cuenta que no necesariamente el ser amable con los demás o con esa persona especial va modificar cómo me siento si no logro serlo primero conmigo mismo. Y teniéndo ese nivel de aceptación, entrega y devoción propias, es como todo lo demás deberá embonar en los caminos del universo.

Loving me

I am just as important to love as the other people I love, that I should love myself

Living with ease...

Living with ease. That’s a thought worth thinking and worth having. I think it’s something we all strive for and don’t know it. Yet we struggle and work everyday for it.

Myself

I learned that I should give myself love and kindness as I do the ones I love and also give kindness to.

Love myself

I should appreciate myself as well as those around me... I should love those in my life and myself

Kindness

It’s important to treat ourselves with kindness and be kind to ourselves

Kindness

I can be kind to myself! And tell myself nice things. That’s it

Learning

Im learning to listen to learn and enjoy new things an to accept me

Feeling

When I meditated, I imagined my imaginary friend from when I was little. Not only did it calm my nerves and reduce my stress, it made me happy. In a matter of only 3 minutes, I was able to relive a memory that I wish could last a lifetime.

Kindness Mattere

It’s important to be kind to ourselves. Some days we might be the only one to have something good or kind to day to and or about ourself.

Kindness

I learned how to remind myself that I want the best for myself. I plan on using what I learned in this meditation in every day life.

My feelings

I Learned that I should say these thing more often to people.

Love

I am always super hard on myself, so imagining talking to myself the way I talk to my children, was an eye opener!! I think I can learn to be kinder to myself this way

3/26/18

I learned that I’ve been so angry and mad at myself and the things that have happened lately, there isn’t really anyone in my life that I can be completely happy for. That’s something really lonely not having anyone to love and I just realized it right now. I still love the people in my life but I’ve been carrying around more anger than love which is not good.

My own person

I learned that I need to be there for myself just like I am for other people.

Friday

I struggle to offer myself kindness. I struggle to accept love or kindness from others. Yet, I accept criticism and multiple it....

Kindness to self

This meditation suits me well ,because I tend to be very self critical. I I am usually More willing to show kindness to others than I am to myself. For this exercise, I pictured my sister with me. I love my sister, and I want her to be happy. This practice taught me The value of extending similar well wishes to myself. Thank you to The folks who work for this app for putting this track together and teaching me this lesson. Thank you also to the community on this app for taking the time to read this post. I hope you are all OK, happy, and well. Please be kind to Yourselves

Self love

Including ourselves in good thoughts about a loved one. I like that. To live a life with ease. So nice.
