Say to yourself or to others, “It is good to see you. I am really glad you showed up today.”
Nicole
I remind myself I don’t own the sidewalk. I am constantly annoyed by others. I remind myself of this so I don’t complain out loud.
Martha
I give people the benefit of the doubt when things have gone pear-shaped. No one needs to know my story nor do I need to know others to show people, including myself some grace.
Sam
Like Martha, I try to assume that we’re all doing our best and have good motives.
Cate
Diane
Just be kind? I try to see other points of view and not say anything if I can’t say something nice. When I succeed, I feel like I have been kind to myself.
Christine
I think one of the most important ways I show kindness to others is by asking what they need in the moment instead of just working from assumptions.
I show kindness to myself by adding extra time to my plans so I reduce the stress that is baked into my ADHD.
