I have decided that it is high time for me to be my own best friend. I am in the process of understanding what that means. I am determined to treat myself better than before.
I start with my thoughts. I analyze my thoughts and root out any that are not kind toward myself. I boot out old limiting beliefs that are self-deprecating. I replace those beliefs with self-kindness.
I check out my emotions. I heal any emotions that fail to support me. I find happy emotions that make my inner child feel valued.
I think about how I have been a friend to others. I start to do kind things for myself. I buy myself fresh flowers just because. I send myself a card of appreciation in the mail. I buy myself a present. I take myself out to dinner and a movie.
I tell myself what I need to hear. I focus on the kindnesses I have shown to others. I now take time to do the same for myself.
I give myself permission to get the rest I need. I take good care of my body. I make myself scrumptious meals. I go on nature walks. I take the time I need to replenish myself.
Today, I am my own best friend! I leave myself a nice voice mail. I write nice things about myself in my journal. I show appreciation. I give acknowledgement. I give myself unconditional love.
Self-Reflection Questions:
- How can I be a better friend to myself?
- How can I give myself more acknowledgement?
- What do I need to hear from myself that will make me feel like my own best friend?
