Are you Kind to yourself?

Are you friendly towards yourself and treat yourself like your own

best friend? I doubt it!

Often we have more patience and kindness towards strangers that we

do to ourselves.

For most of us, we do not even realise when we chastise ourself,

think horrid things about our looks, achievements or body and spend

our days unfavourably comparing ourself to others. Beating

yourself up has just become a regular bad habit!

Many of us are so used to treating ourselves this way that we don't

know any different. We rarely praise ourselves for our

achievements or speak lovingly to ourselves on a daily basis. We

spend wasted time telling ourselves how we are not good enough or

how we wish we could do things differently.

Get honest with yourself, do you treat your friends better than

you treat yourself? When is the last time you spoke encouraging to

yourself or soothed yourself when you were upset or sad? When is

the last time you took some time out to relax or have a massage ?

Remember, life is a mirror so if you start to learn to love and

praise yourself, you will receive more of this in your outside

world. Begin with learning how to be gentle with yourself. You

deserve kind treatment simply because you are special. Don't rely

on other people to comfort you, learn to comfort yourself.

Learning to treat yourself with love and respect is the highest

gift you can give yourself.

ACTION STEPS:

' Affirm I will willing to learn to love myself'

Every morning, promise YOURSELF that you will treat yourself with

patience and kindness

Each evening, write down ten nice things about yourself.

Let me know if you've thought of this before or not and if it worked. Kind regards TheAnonymousMan
