Start from loving yourself to be (5 / 5)

Discussion: Mind Care.

Shannon Kaiser's concept of mind care in "The Self-Love Experiment" is not just self-indulgence, but the return of "discovering the value of life" and healing internal wounds through regular practice, with the following key points:

• Turn the voice of the heart into a remedy: The most important care of the mind is to "stop criticizing ourselves." We often use cruel, depressing words like a knife that pricks ourselves every day. Good care is to switch to "gentle words" as we speak to our loved ones, because these words are the most effective remedies of the mind.

• Creating a Safe Zone: The mind grows and becomes healthy in an environment that embraces the heart. We should choose to be close to people with "positive power" and gradually step back from relationships or people that require us to question our self-worth.

• Forgive and let go of the past: Mind care means not to bear the mistakes of the past, come to beat yourself in the present. To love yourself is to "forgive yourself" and accept that mistakes are common to humans.

• Rest is recovery, not failure: In a rushed world, we often feel guilty when we do nothing, but the right care is to allow ourselves to "rest without guilt" to recharge life, because a too tired heart has no power to create good things.

• Adjust the frequency of the mind through gratitude: The practice of thanking small things each day helps to change the state of mind from a "shortage mode" (that only compares to others) to a "fertile mode," the highest energy of love in mind care.

• Listen to the inner voice rather than the ambient voice: Care is the return to "listen to the voice of your heart" rather than the voice of the world or the expectations of society. Choose to do what makes your heart feel calm, even though that may not be what most people do.

Mind care is not a matter done once and then over, but a "daily training" so that we can look in the mirror and then smile at ourselves with tenderness. As we are the "only true friends" who will stay with us for the rest of our lives.

Compare it visually: Mind care is like "watering a tree" in our hearts. Some days we may be busy until we forget to water it, or some days the heart tree may wither because of the strong sun (external problems), but only we do not abandon and return to add water (love and care) to it consistently. This tree can always grow and sprawl strong.

+ Buddhists are charitable, not greedy, not angry, not obsessive, conscious, knowing the state of nature is the emotion of the truth...
