This is something worth considering for a moment, isn’t it?
As we are the only person we can’t get away from, who we have to live our entire life with, who we can never take a break from,…. we better have a very good relationship with ourselves then, don’t we?
Are we our worst enemy?
Yes! I am afraid so.
Who keeps nagging at you when things didn’t go as you planned?
Who tries to remind you time and time again that you are not able to do so and so, not able to reach your objective, that you are not good enough…?
Who has the harshest words when you failed at something,…?
Who keeps telling you that maybe you could have done this or that, should have done so and so,…
I think some of these things sound familiar, don’t they?
Well, if they do, it’s time to become friends with that enemy inside! Become friends with YOU!
Because when all is said and done, we have to find peace with ourselves!
As I said, you can’t take a break from yourself!
Learn to love yourself for who you are,
accept who you are with your flaws,
embrace your successes and learn from your failures.
Know that perfection does not exist ( my God wouldn’t that be boring: all “Stepford wifes”) and that never in your whole life you will be loved and liked by everybody.
And that’s all right!
Just make sure that you are there for you!
Don’t be too demanding,
Know that you’re a work in progress!
As long as you make sure you are in progress!
Love your body through
eating healthy food,
exercising,
sleeping, …
Treat your body as your companion through life! Make sure it’s in optimal condition to travel the journey of life!
Keep your mind as healthy as possible too:
Don’t feed it with “junk” either:
read,
watch,
learn…
things that open your mind to great ideas, to a positive mindset
meditate to become still, to take the time to be who you are when all the hussle quiets down.
Stress poisons the mind and slowly kills the body:
so calm down,
take a few moments to gather yourself
live intentionally, not reactively.
Be your best friend in every way possible!!!
Treat yourself as you treat the people you love most in the world!
Be you
Love you
You are enough!
