World Kindness Day | February 17

Kindness is something I’m so curious about because it wasn’t until my practice of Yoga & self exploration that I realised how unkind I was to myself. The old saying ‘you can’t love others until you love yourself’ rings true.

I remember I was once telling my best friend how awful I was & terrible at everything. She stopped me & said ‘Excuse me, you’re talking about my best friend & I don’t appreciate it’.

Remember, you are someone’s best friend so please be kind to yourself.
