28) Be Kind To Yourself



One of the first observances we follow when we bring the yoga sutras into our life, is non-violence.

This means avoiding violence to others AND oneself. 

It means non-violence in thought, word and deed.

Non-violence also means being kind, generous and compassionate.

We try to focus on being kind, generous and compassionate to every person we come into contact with, on a daily basis.

We often forget that the most important person we need to show kindness, generosity and compassion to, is ourselves.

How can we genuinely treat others in this loving, positive way, if we cannot treat ourselves in this way first?  

So treat yourself with kindness and compassion. And be happy!
