Day 28: Practice Loving Kindness:
DBT takes a lot of cues from Buddhism – especially around mindfulness practices. Β This DBT skill includes a traditional Buddhist prayer. Β You can either use this or use a prayer about kindness from your personal belief system.
Do something kind today for yourself and three kind things for others. Β It can be smilingΒ at someone in the grocery store, or opening the door for a mother with children, or calling someone to cheer them up.
The Buddhist Loving Kindness Prayer:
May I be at peace.
May my heart remain open.
May I realize the beauty of my own true nature.
May I be healed.
May I be a source of healing for this world.
May your heart remain open.
May you realize the beauty of your own true nature.
May you be healed.
May you be a source of healing for this world.
