Try a Little Kindfulness - Make kindness a conscious practice and infuse your life with everyday abundance, writes Dr David Hamilton

September 2024

The more we care about others, the more we realise that most people are just like us - trying to figure things out and hoping for a good day. It's easier to fear what you don't know, but once you get to know people, the world seems a lot smaller and cosier. So next time you're tempted to scroll past someone's problem, dismiss someone's feelings, or just be in your own little bubble, remember: the world's a better place when we all give a little f*ck. Let's sprinkle that stuff everywhere like it's magical kindness glitter!

Try a Little Kindfulness - Make kindness a conscious practice and infuse your life with everyday abundance, writes Dr David Hamilton

Have you ever wondered why the world seems to be so chaotic, complicated, and downright crabby sometimes? One reason might be that we've forgotten how important it is to genuinely give a f*ck about each other. Here's why that matters: for starters, kindness feels good! Remember the last time someone held the door for you, smiled at you randomly, or just listened when you'd had a really crappy day? It felt nice, right? That's because kindness is like this universal language that, deep down, we all understand and appreciate. Plus, as we'll see, it sets off a feelgood party in our brain and heart that actually makes us happier and reduces our blood pressure. Life's a team sport: like it or not, we're all on this giant rock called earth together. It's a group project, and we all know that group projects suck when one person is slacking off or being an ass. When we support each other, life gets a little easier and a lot more fun.

And you know what? Karma's a thing. Forget the mystical side of it for a second; let's think practically. If you help out today, there's a good chance someone will be there for you tomorrow. Call it 'selfish altruism' if you will, but it works! Being an ass usually comes back to bite you on the rear end. And let's not forget human connection. Believe it or not, our brains are hardwired to connect. That's right: every like, share, comment, hug, or chat over coffee is more than just a moment - it's our brain's way of saying, 'Hey, I need this to feel alive and happy.' So why starve it? Giving a f*ck about each other makes the world less scary.

OTHER PEOPLE'S STRESS...isn't yours to carry

Whether you're at home or work, visiting with friends or catching up with family, the start of the year can stir up old emotions and leave us feeling a little off-kilter. Because New Year's stress doesn't just come from the dark, the weather or even the lack of cash - it's also from the people around us.

HARMONY at home

We spend weeks preparing our homes for Christmas...but does anyone prepare for when it's over? You know the feeling: the decorations have come down, the mince pies have been eaten, but your home doesn't feel like it's supporting you into the new year. I believe this is because our homes hold energetic residue.

MOVING FROM GUILT TO GRACE

How many times a day do you hear yourself saying sorry? ‘Sorry, could I just…?’ ‘Sorry, I can’t make it tonight.’ ‘Sorry, I’m not free.’ We apologise for taking up space, for saying no, for changing our minds, even for wanting something different. Sometimes it just slips out before you’ve even had time to check if it belongs there.
