How do you speak and treat yourself?

Are you kind, forgiving, supportive, and loving to yourself? 

Or are you really hard on yourself, constantly telling yourself that you’re not good enough?

Relationships can be complicated, especially with those who are closest to you. But the most complicated relationship you’ll ever be involved in is the one you have with yourself.

Although it might counter intuitive to think that you’re in a relationship with yourself, you are. If you don’t believe me, then sit quietly for a moment and listen to the voice in your head that’s talking to you right now.

What’s it saying?

Is it telling you to continue reading?

Or.

Is it saying that this is all nonsense and you should go do something else?

The relationship you have with yourself is the most complicated because you spend the most time with yourself, and this allows you to see all your positive and negative actions and thoughts.

Now you can choose to focus on your flaws and keep reminding yourself of them. Or you can choose to remind yourself that everyone has flaws. It’s just that yours are magnified because they’re always visible to you.

While your relationship with yourself will always be complicated, you will have the power to decide how you treat yourself.  When you hear the voice in your head speaking to you, one of the best questions you can ask yourself is, how would someone else feel if I spoke to them this way?
