Kindness is so useful in workouts. I need more of it, myself. It shows up in at least two ways.
One way is in doing the workout itself. Taking care of my body is kind to it, even if it isn’t always fun in the moment. Kindness takes vitamins and flosses teeth. It eats veggies and drinks plenty of water.
The other way is in how the workout gets done. When I’m working out, I am, definitionally, doing hard things. Sometimes I don’t do them very well. I can choose to be kind to myself in that moment and keep an eye on showing up rather than performing to perfection. Very occasionally, kindness can even mean resting instead of working out. Kindness listens to the body.
What’s your favorite way to be kind?
