How can you be kind and fierce? Explore the Kindometer Fierce Kindness believes: …to be happy we must be connected to ourselves, others and something bigger than ourselves. …making a difference, however small, is an essential part of living a fulfilled life and results in big, collective impact. …we all already have the courage we need to do the right thing, even (especially) when it’s challenging. …taking care of ourselves is essential if we are to make a difference, and part of that means setting firm boundaries. …the most empowering thing we can do is love and accept ourselves rather than looking outside of ourselves. …feelings are crucial signposts. We must give ourselves permission to fully experience and learn from them. …resilience is a learnable skill and allows us to handle whatever life throws at us. …our inner critic can be transformed (with kindness) to become a positive force in our lives. …above all else, be you! You have unique strengths and qualities. Celebrate you! …in being kind no matter what. And when things get tough… add courage. Courage + Kindness = Fierce Kindness.
