How to Make Everyday Kindness a Habit
A six-session online course that makes kindness part of your everyday life
Each of us are drawn to kindness in other people.
We feel better in ourselves when we practice kindness.
Kindness is good for our health and wellbeing.
We all have the raw materials for kindness within us
Yet it’s hard to always be kind and stuff can get in the way that makes us forget about kindness
Research into the power of kindness tells us that even just seeing someone perform an act of kindness makes us feel good.
The kindness does not even need to be directed towards us.
This online course focuses on making kindness our default response to whatever comes our way
We will look at
We do this through examining our habits
Laying the basis with meditation

Hello there
Thanks so much for checking out this online course.
When I designed it, I particularly wanted to offer a short, practical course that showed how important kindness is. It is especially designed to fit around a busy life, as well as working with the ways in which we can forget kindness.
I thought it was important to start with kindness for ourselves because so often we forget that. Kindness for other people follows on naturally. There is also a session on kindness for the environment—which seems very relevant right now.
As always, scientific research is referenced so you can see how these methods really work.
Hope to see you on the course!

What people have said about the course
This is a fantastic course! I have followed other courses on developing kindness, but this offers something much more dynamic. Many practical tools are offered here for our everyday life whilst continuously uplifting our spirits. I loved the use of cartoons in making the subject immediately accessible and pleasurable. I felt that I’m being spoken to directly, that I am understood and not judged but shown exactly how I can pay more attention to how I react. The suggestions and exercises can immediately become an integral part of anyone’s life and will make a very positive impact in making kindness our habit towards ourselves, others and our environment.

This is a wonderful course full of inspiring videos and many challenges to waken us up to the kindness within us. I really appreciate all the different techniques for making us look again at our life-style and habits in relation to our kindness to ourselves, others and the planet. I would thoroughly recommend this course for any aspiring Kind Person.
