Rediscovering Kindergarten Lessons: Kendell Boysen on Kindness and Self-Awareness

Be kind to people you meet in your Daily routine. When we talk about modern manners, we seem to always wax nostalgic about how folks were more polite back in The Day. What we're truly discussing is the decline of formality, which can necessarily be conflated with good manners or basic human decency.

Remember the simple lessons from kindergarten? Kendell Boysen takes us back to those foundational years in this episode of 'Encouragementology'. She reminds us how those early teachings shape our interactions and values today. From learning to share and be kind, to the magic of naptime, these basics set the stage for how we treat others. Kendell humorously reflects on the chaos of a classroom full of 5-year-olds and how those moments taught us the importance of rest and patience.

As we grow older, we often forget these simple yet profound lessons, replacing them with rigid opinions and judgments. Kendell challenges us to revisit these childhood principles, emphasizing kindness, good manners, and self-awareness. She highlights the decline of formality in society and how it affects our daily interactions. Through mindfulness and meditation, Kendell believes we can regain self-control and improve our lives.

This episode is a heartfelt call to return to the basics and approach life with the same curiosity and openness we had as children. If you're looking to reconnect with your inner child and foster better relationships, this episode is a must-listen.
