Well, with kindness, there is no practicing. You simply do it. You just be kind. The first time might feel like practice. Maybe even the first few times. Kindness sees where there is no kindness.
Ok, in that case... Do kindness. Be kindness. Choose kindness.
"Perfect kindness acts without thinking kindness." [Lao Tzu]
How?
Send a letter or kind note to someone.
*
Thank someone today. Then explain why they have earned your gratitude.
*
Compliment someone today... and mean it.
*
Offer money or food to someone in need of a bit.
*
Pay for a stranger's coffee.
*
Cheer on random walkers/runners in the park.
*
Use your time and your effort to work out a task on someone's behalf.
"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." [Aesop]
Here's the catch... and this is true for all thoughts of Wisdom: Once you've been informed of wisdom's truths, it becomes your responsibility to retain that information. So should you become distracted or tired or angry, and should lose awareness of your path into kindness today, remember your responsibility.
Then do it tomorrow, and the next day, and the following day. Then next week.... see where this is going? Don't stop being kind, no matter the distractions.
You will never know how deep the roots of your influence will reach, so share love at all times.
