Be kind about yourself!
It can be really easy to find things that we don’t like about ourselves. Often, we are so much harsher than we need to be! In fact, if you quickly imagine something you’ve disliked about yourself and then think about how you described it to yourself.
Now imagine using the same words to describe someone with the same feature.
Would you use those words or would you use nicer, kinder, more considerate words?
Why is it acceptable to talk to ourselves in a way that we wouldn’t talk to others? Here’s a quick answer for you – it’s not.
It is not acceptable, so from now we will no longer accept it.
It is perfectly okay to have some things about you that you want to change. It’s at that point you decide to take action and do something about it. What we certainly do not do, is be overly critical, focus on things that we cannot change, or complain without actually doing something about it!
It’s time to accept ourselves for who we are.
