On Loving Yourself - BFF’s

PART  TWO - BFF’s? (Best Friends Forever)

Would you go on a second date with you? Would you want to have a best friend that treats you the way you treat yourself? 

If you reflected on the way that you speak to yourself, the time you make for yourself, do you give yourself priority, keep appointments or blow them off? How caring, kind and thoughtful you are of yourself, are you fun, playful, deep, connected, caring, generous, understanding, respectful. Or are you harsh, unreasonable, cold, demanding, always taking without investing? 

As you would with your BFF extend that same kindness and compassion to yourself. We don’t demand perfection from our friends. Allow yourself to be on a journey “I am in the process of…”. Have realistic expectations of yourself and do not compare yourself to anyone else. You are wonderfully, uniquely you. 

Include all of you, mind, body and soul. Take time to plan for your whole being’s wellbeing. What fuels you? What makes you smile? What recharges your energy? Just as you would note with your best friend, take notes on yourself and plan to nurture and love yourself. Do those things that bring you joy, rest and peace. This could look completely different for all of us. Know when to stop, when to rest, when to play and have fun. Make time for you. Forgive yourself. Let go of things that no longer serve you.

See the good in you and water that.
