Metacognition: Committing to the practice of kindness means incorporating kindness into your everyday life and engaging in the awareness and skill-building that leads to kind actions. A powerful way to bring awareness to your kindness practice is through metacognition: the concept of thinking about our thinking. It’s a practice of understanding our thought process in the moment so that we can be prepared to respond with kindness. Learning to perceive our thoughts as something separate from ourselves helps us develop the self-awareness necessary “to examine and understand who we are relative to the world around us.”1 Reflecting on our learning process builds metacognition, and weekly reflection about our thinking reshapes our brain’s structure, helping us become more adaptable, open-minded, and kind. Also, research shows that our metacognitive skills increase as we age, especially between ages 12 and 15.² This process can lead to kinder communication as we practice putting distance between our thoughts and our communication by being able to observe them and developing an awareness of our behavior.
