"I was thinking a lot about mindfulness. How it can help with noticing when we are being cruel to ourselves which then leads us to gently adjust ourselves back to kind thoughts. I think mindfulness can be a great teacher of kindness as it requires one to be radically honest with themselves in order to become mindful of one's full self and surroundings. In this poem the shadow is that part of the poet that is confronted with this personal radical truth that shows the hard emotional and spiritual work it takes to cultivate loving kindness of self. Ultimately, even though it's kinda long, it pays off to be kind to ourselves in order to be kind(er) to those around us."

Listen to Writer and Poet Belinda Zhawi’s ‘be kind to your shadow’, commissioned by Free Word for How To Be Kind.
