Not only is being kind to others important, it's important to be kind to YOURSELF, too! A way to show kindness to yourself is to practice self-care. Self care can be as simple as doing something you like such as reading a book, drawing, or playing a sport. Another way to practice self-care is to practice mindfulness. Mindfulness is paying full attention to something. It means slowing down to really notice what you are doing. You are focused in a relaxed and easy way.
