Be kind to yourself

3 reasons to be kind to yourself

Being kind to ourselves may seem like a simple or unimportant thing to practice, but the more I work with people the more I realise just how many of us aren’t… ask yourself; would you be as unsupportive or critical towards a good friend?!

1. If you are kind to yourself, you will have more to give others - the people around you will sense you are happier in yourself, and you will lift their energy as well as your own.

2. You can give yourself the love and support you need. Not everyone can always be there for you at the very moment you need them – but the good news is; you can always be there for yourself. You are at the centre of your world. There is no-one who knows you better than you do; therefore you are the best person to give yourself exactly what you need, exactly when you need it!

3. Noticing when you are being mean to yourself with a thought like’ I’m rubbish at this’, and substituting it with a positive statement like, ‘I am getting better at this’, over time, can change your negative thought patterns and behavior associated with it, making a big difference to how you feel about yourself, as well as improving the way you do things (and you’ll probably be doing them in a shorter space of time!).

Try it, and notice the results – remember, you don’t have to become it straight away – it’s about practicing the new ways it until they become a positive and automatic habit.
