Loving kindness is an exercise that I practice everyday. Although it seems like common sense it takes a conscious effort at first to get started. In time this action becomes second nature almost as if on auto pilot. Little things make a huge difference and these seemingly small things set us apart from others. It is not hard to make someones day, in fact it is so easy. Why not do it? Things like a smile to a stranger or holding a door for them. So simple but very powerful put into practice.
Another practice that I do every day and truly enjoy is meditation. This helps me keep my stress levels low and maintain balance from day to day no matter what the day brings. I see others react to things that happen to them and I feel that I create opportunities to make my life better. I much rather live a life of creation then reaction. Inner peace is what meditation brings to me and my life. I have been using this practice for about 6 months and the changes are remarkable. I sleep better and feel better everyday. I highly recommend both practices to those looking to improve the quality of their lives. It is a gift that you give to yourself.
