Be Your Own Best Friend

Be as good to yourself as you are to your best friend. Take time to enjoy just being with you. Be honest about your great qualities and abilities. Be honest, but not brutal, about the improvements that are always in progress. Laugh at your mistakes. Put things into perspective, e.g. did that "dumb" remark or thing you did really matter? Remind yourself about your own priorities. Celebrate your wins, especially the little ones. Put a flower on your desk. Laugh just for the sake of laughing. Play! Sing and dance all by yourself just because you want to. Do nothing! Reach for the stars! When you find yourself running negative tapes in your head, stop for a moment and ask yourself if your best friend would say that to you?

Be your own best friend, treat yourself with love.
