Helping Others

Side Kicks Family Karate

"Your Family's Personal Life Skills Center"

Do you go the extra mile for others?

Compassion means caring about the needs of others. Just feeling sorry for someone else is only part of compassion. Having compassion means that you are also willing to help others by taking action. True Martial Artists are compassionate and will put others’ needs before their own interests.

 

Are you a compassionate person?

Let’s review the following questions to find out if you are:

1. Do you donate your money when others need it?

2. Do you donate your time when others need it?

3. Do you talk to others when they are lonely?

4. Do you stand up for others who cannot stand up for themselves?

5. Do you give up your chair to someone standing when there are none left?

6. Do you put others’ feelings before your own?

7. Do you let others go before you when waiting in line?

8. Do you go the extra mile for others even when you are not expected to?

9. Would you save someone if he or she was in danger?

If you answered yes to these questions, then you are a compassionate person. Compassionate

people go the extra mile even when not expected to do so. People who

show generosity through kind gestures when no one is looking are extremely compassionate.

The best part about being a compassionate person is the feeling that one

experiences as a result of the unselfish actions.

There are many ways that you can be compassionate that are fun. You can bake

cookies for a sick friend. You can draw a picture for an elderly person to brighten his

or her day. Another fun way to show compassion is to invite a new person at your

school or work to your home for a social gathering. There are endless possibilities of

ways to show compassion.

Keep in mind you do not need to have a lot of money or to donate a lot of time in

order to show your compassion. Simply sharing a smile with someone else and avoiding

negative conversations about others when they are not around are ways to show

that you care about others’ feelings. If you want others to have compassion towards

you, the best place to start is by showing compassion for others. If everyone would

show more compassion each day then this world would be an even better place in

which to live.

Healthy Self-Defense

An important way of showing self-respect is by taking care of your health.

When People hear the word self-defense then generally thing of protecting themselves from a attacker. That is not always the case. their are many ways to defend your self. This means caring for your body and your mind. Having a healthy body helps you have a healthy mind, and vice-versa.

Caring for your body can include exercising, eating nutritious foods, and avoiding activities that are

known to be unhealthy. Our Health-Kick articles are a great source of important health and fitness related

information. A healthy person will exercise at least three times per week for 45 minutes each

time. Martial Arts is a great way to fill these time slots. Another habit of healthy people is the consumption

of both fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. This combination of foods increases energy

while decreasing the chance of illness. Taking good care of your body also increases your mind

power, which is another key element of personal health.

Education is to your brain what physical exercise is to your body...

You can take care of your mind by “exercising” it with good inputs and challenging mental activities.

For example, you can benefit from reading materials that are educational and positive. Other healthy

activities for the mind include sports, such as the Martial Arts, that challenge the brain and increase

one’s positive self-image. People who focus on maintaining a healthy mind and a healthy body tend to

be happier and live much longer than those who do not.

Think of some personal examples of things you do that are good for your health.

Below are just a few guidelines of how you can care for your mind and body:

● Eat healthfully. Avoid eating fast food on a regular basis and put a limit on sugars and

sweet snacks.

● Get active. The more active you are, the better your body will function. Activities such as the

Martial Arts, jogging, and swimming are just a few ways that you can keep your body active.

● Give your brain attention. Simple reading will occupy your mind’s time and limit opportunities for

your mind to wander into negative and stressful thinking.

● Build a thirst for knowledge. Education is to your brain what physical exercise is to your body.

The more you seek out opportunities to learn, the better your mind will function.

● Get a good night’s sleep every night. Sleep helps your mind and body re-energize for the next day.

If your mind and body do not get enough rest, then neither will function well the next day.

Remember, your mind and body need tender loving care to stay in top condition. Unless you give both

enough care and attention, you will limit your potential and quality of life. The benefits to taking care

of your health are well worth the time and effort.

All About Promise Keeping

Side Kicks Family Karate

"Your Family's Personal Life Skills Center"

Promise keeping means making worthwhile promises that you are able to keep, and then actually

following through on those promises.

We frequently find ourselves making promises, but for various reasons we cannot or do not keep those

promises. To be a great person you must fully understand the importance of promise keeping and must

realize those situations where making a promise is appropriate.

There are many types of promises that people make on a daily basis. We make silly promises, bad promises,

good promises, and promises about situations that are beyond our control. If we understand the differences

among the above types of promises, then we can improve our ability to keep promises.

Telling someone that you will give him or her $1,000,000 for something when you really do not have that

much money to give is an example of a silly promise. Bad promises include such things as making a promise

to lie for a friend to keep him or her out of trouble, or helping someone cheat on a test. Good promises

are those that you can follow-through on and that have an honorable or worthwhile objective, such as completing

your chores when asked or paying back someone from whom you borrowed money. Promises about

things that are beyond your control include such things as promising someone that it will not rain next

week, or that you will catch a home run ball for them. As you can see, we have all made promises that

were good, silly, beyond our control, and sometimes bad.

It is important to practice promise keeping with common sense. You may find yourself making

promises that you know are silly, bad, or beyond your control but you make them anyway. If you pay attention

to the different types of promises that you make and reduce the number of silly, bad, and beyond your

control promises until you have totally eliminated these types, then you will begin to master the act of good

promise keeping.

The first step to good promise keeping is to have the desire to follow through on every single promise that

you make. This is not always an easy goal to achieve right away. To get started, make a list of all of the

good promises that you have made recently, but haven’t kept. Then, try to follow through on those promises.

From there, begin to make only good promises, and make sure you follow through on them. Before you

know it, you’ll become a master at promise keeping and you’ll notice that your friends and family have

greater respect for you and your actions.

The power of Self-Discipline

Side Kicks Family Karate

"Your Family's Personal Life Skills Center"

When self-discipline is strong, you maximize your possibilities!

Self-discipline means that you have the internal strength to control your feelings, behavior, and impulses. People with self-discipline constantly remind themselves to think positively and to control all actions while avoiding negativity.

By practicing self-discipline you can achieve long-term goals without being distracted by what could go wrong in the process. Self-discipline also means that you are dependable. People can count on those who have self-discipline

because they have the power to keep their promises and the power to do what is right. These characteristics are essential in the Martial Arts and are key habits that true Black Belts practice

all of the time.

Here are some basic tips to help you build self-discipline:

1. PRACTICE HAVING A “CAN DO” ATTITUDE.

When something gets tough, don’t let negativity slow you down. Focus on accomplishing your goals and overcoming your obstacles.

2. ALWAYS BE ON TIME.

People with self-discipline understand that being late is a bad habit that shows disrespect to all who are affected by your tardiness.

3. FOLLOW THROUGH ON YOUR PROMISES AND COMMITMENTS.

By keeping your promises and following through on your commitments you begin to earn the trust of others.

4. BE HONEST WITH OTHERS.

Honesty is always the best policy despite the fact that you may get in trouble. If you are not honest, the repercussions down the road will often be more damaging than if you had been honest in the first place.

5. CONSISTENTLY SET NEW GOALS

to accomplish.  People with self-discipline always strive to achieve new levels of accomplishments. This means more success and a brighter future. Self-discipline is essentially the heartbeat of your lifestyle. Without it being strong, you limit what you can do in life. With your regular heartbeat, if your heart is strong, then you have the stamina to accomplish much throughout the day. The same for self-discipline: only when it is strong do you maximize your possibilities. You can also look at how self-discipline plays a key role in the Martial Arts. It takes a lot of self-discipline to arrive at class on time, persevere through physical challenges, and overcome roadblocks, such as learning a new forms or sparring for the very first time. If you have self-discipline in the Martial Arts then you can make it to black

belt and beyond!
