I want to make sure I get a good start on this journal. It is something I really want to keep up on, but I have a history of starting strong on things and fizzling out. I do not want this to fizzle! I want to build the momentum and keep it up!
It is important to note that when doing acts of kindness, many of the things we do will be small, but may have a big affect. Also, it is a good thing to keep an open mind to who the receiver of the altruistic act will be, it may not be another person, it could be Mother Earth, an animal, a plant, or even yourself. With that said, here are a couple of notable acts of kindness I took part in today.
I did sixty minutes of cardio today (twenty of it at higher resistance/ramp levels), and while I did this I watched a movie I had yet to see, and took a good break from the kids. Lots of little things going on here. First of all, cardio, I was kind to my body by working to get it into better shape! I want to be healthy, and I'm slowly working on it. I know a lot of what I need to do, it's just a matter of doing it. Today was good for that. Next, taking a break from the kids and watching a good movie was good for my stress levels and mental health. I'm going to be a much better person when I take time out of a busy chaotic lifestyle to do things for me. Today I succeeded and I did notice the results. To throw one more little one in there, I wiped down my machine when I was done. Not only is this good to do because touching someone else sweaty machine is gross, but it also helps to stop the spread of germs which I may have been carrying.
Here's to being kind to me today!

Yep, being good to my body paid off. I had the best nights sleep ever last night. I must remember this feeling, I think it might help me to continue loving myself :)
