" I am happy being a Duck" |
A duck will never compare itself to another duck and find itself lacking.
Think for a moment about how you talk about yourself to
others and how you think about yourself.
Do you belittle
yourself? Do you put yourself down? Do you have a voice in your head that beats
you up? Do you hate looking in the mirror?
Here is another question to consider: Do you treat others
the way that you treat yourself? No? Then why do you give yourself a hard time?
This holiday
season give yourself the gift of loving and appreciating yourself.
Make a conscious effort to find things about yourself that
you like. Focus on the likable parts of you, not the unlikable bits. Be kind to
yourself. Appreciate all the good things that you do and congratulate yourself
on your achievements, no matter how small.
When you love yourself more you can love others more. You
will then find that people will relate to you in a more loving way. And guess
what? You will also receive more love and that is really nice.
