We ALL love and appreciate kindness in our lives, don't we? Now, because I am talking to a general audience; just take what resonates with you. Acts of Kindness is a largely wide subject and there are many views upon it.
I am not talking about being a martyr as there are oblivious differences between being kind and being a martyr. These differences I will discuss another time. I am also not talking about conditional acts of kindness. I am talking about UNCONDITIONAL acts of kindness. I will discuss the differences between conditional and unconditional acts of kindness another time.
Unconditional acts of kindness means being kind by FREE choice and because you want to do it! - It is NOT because you should or because you must or to look good to others. - Unconditional acts of kindness has NO outside reasons or ulterior motives. - Unconditional acts of kindness feel good... so VERY good for your heart, and for your soul. - It does NOT drain you of energy. - If your act of kindness has left you with any negative feeling; then your act of kindness had conditions on it.
So, what is the BEST way of teaching your child to be thoughtful, helpful, and kind?By being their BIGGEST prime example!You ARE your child's BIGGEST mirror and influencer, especially in their younger years.- Have a look at your own life.- Look at your ideas of kindness.- Look at your own behavior and interactions towards others. To-do!
When helping others:- Do you have conditions?- What are your thoughts?- What are your emotions?- What are your expectations?- Are you coming away feeling good or drained?- Do you have to point out your good deeds to others for confirmation of worthiness?- Are you always volunteering or pushing your child or others against their choice to do that act of kindness?
So how do you get your child to become a LOVER of acts of unconditional kindness? By showing and sharing how great your heart and soul feels after YOUR unconditional act of kindness! No one really likes someone helping them who has conditions on their help! Someone who is being huffy and puffy while helping you leaves an unpleasant feeling behind.
Be HAPPY and EASY in the moments before, during and after your unconditional act of kindness! That is the way you leave a pleasant good feeling of love as you go. We ALL prefer to interact with and to be around those unconditional kind type of people more. Look at the people who you value and enjoy being with the most; the people in your life who are light and easy. Usually the people who you like being around the most tend to be the people who bring no or little conditions with them.
Of course, you do not want you or your child to be taken advantage of… There should always be a heart win/win for both parties in ALL interactions! They get the help and your heart feels good! An example of a win/lose conditional act of kindness is when you are feeling obligated rather than from choice.
So, to recap: 1. LOOK at your acts of kindness... Are they conditional or unconditional? 2. REMEMBER.... Your child is ALWAYS watching and learning from you! 3. DISCUSS both yours and your child's acts of kindness and the feelings that come from the act of kindness as well as the feelings going into the act of kindness.
A GOOD rule of thumb is:If your act of kindness only feels good, both before and after; then it is unconditional.If it DOESN'T feel good or if you are needing to use it to look good; then your act of kindness is conditional.
