Did You Wake Up on the Wrong Side of the Bed? The Importance of Kindness.
This episode is about Kindness: the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.
Sara tells us the story of being on a recent flight and having to make a connecting flight. She was sitting in the back of the plane. She was running very close to the take-off of the next flight and asked if she could move ahead in the line waiting to deplane. Well, one woman said an emphatic “No” and basically said, “You missing your next flight isn’t our problem.” Suffice to say, Sara wanted to say some things to her but knew it wasn’t the right time. Fortunately, the woman in front of her said, “Just go.” And Sara did.
But the very act of unkindness leaves a mood shift on all that hear it, and that it’s directed to. Thus, a ripple effect begins. As Sara’s mother used to say to her when she woke up in a bad mood, “Go back to bed and get out on the right side”.
So, this podcast episode is about the importance and actual ease of just being kind. Remember it starts with being kind to yourself. Know that what you put out in this world, comes back to you many-fold and can make the world a nicer place to be.
Also, talking about being kind to yourself, if you are interested in the retreat with Sara and Florence Williams just outside of Telluride, CO from July 26-29th, please email Sara at [email protected] or DM her on social media.
