Your most important relationship is with yourself

Many of us pour our all into our relationships.

We make sure we’re loyal friends.

We show our families love and support.

We work diligently to cooperate with our coworkers.

Yet, so often, we overlook our most important relationship.

That with ourselves.

We think about ourselves in ways we’d never think about others.

We say things to ourselves we’d never say to others.

We feel about ourselves feelings we’d never have for others.

We put ourselves down.

We beat ourselves up.

We hold ourselves to impossible standards.

We treat ourselves in ways we’d never treat another person.

We totally overlook the effects such patterns might be having.

Doing the damage that we would never knowingly do to another person.

To ourselves.

You're always thinking your thoughts.

Feeling your feelings.

Living your life.

Every second of every day.

There's no one with whom you spend more time.

Is that time well spent?

Are you honest with yourself?

Do you speak to yourself with kindness?

How encouraging are you of your own goals and dreams?

Your most important relationship is with yourself.

Like any other, it requires effort.

Working every day to make it one worth being in.

Are you putting in that work?

This isn’t always easy.

It isn’t always fun.

It doesn’t always come naturally.

It is always worth it.

You are worth it.

You are worthy.

You’ve got this.

We often assign stories to what’s going on around us. These stories can have elaborate introductions, conclusions, and messages. Rarely, though, do we ask ourselves if these stories are helpful or eve...

What if we simply listened?

Allowing others to open up to us can be a powerful tool for exchanging the gift of connection. So often, though, we're too focused on responding, controlling, or judging for any connection to form. We...

Life isn't always a problem to be solved

We often get stuck in patterns of problem solving. No matter what comes our way, we feel the need to do something. Sometimes, though, there's nothing for us to do. Life isn't always a problem to be so...

Those we see as least worthy of compassion are often those who need it most

Holding compassion for those we see as malicious, selfish, or otherwise unworthy may not feel right. Such characteristics, however, are often rooted in deep suffering or fear. Those we see as least wo...

Let your thoughts serve you

Our thoughts make wonderful servants. They can be invaluable for reflection, forethought, and contemplation. When we accept them without question, though, we allow them to act as our masters. They can...

You'll never hate yourself into loving yourself

Make peace with your imperfection
