"If you had a friend who talked to
you like you sometimes talk to yourself, would you continue to hang
around with that person?"
~Rob Bremer, Speaker
Good morning!
As Debbie noted when she sent
the quote, this is something we cover in-depth in the attitude class. A
quick question for you this morning....
On a scale of 1 to 10... How
would you rate yourself on this statement... "I am a good
friend." Most of us rate ourselves high, we pride ourselves on
being reliable and supportive.
Next question, on a scale of 1
to 10, how would rate yourself on this statement, "I am a good friend
to myself."
Many of us stumble on question
two. We demand things of ourselves that we would not demand of others.
We criticize ourselves with harsh words that we would never say to a
friend. While we forgive our friends shortcomings, we belittle
ourselves for our shortcomings. We build friends up, we knock ourselves
down.
How wonderfully our loves would
change if we would treat ourselves with the same kindness,
thoughtfulness, encouragement and forgiveness we show our friends.
Your turn:
Today, each time you have a
thought directed toward yourself, ask-- is this a thought I would share
with a friend in the same situation? If the answer is no, replace it
with the type of kindness and encouragement you would show a friend.
When we learn to be a better friend to ourselves, we in turn become a
better friend to others.
Your affirmation:
I treat myself with kindness,
respect and encouragement just as I would my best friend.
