Building a good relationship with yourselfBuilding a good relationship with yourself is one of the hardest and most rewarding things you could ever do for yourself and your self esteem. Your self esteem level has to do with how you see yourself. So even if everyone else around you thinks you’re this amazing person, it will still not affect how YOU see yourself. And it will not raise your self esteem either.The way you see yourself determines the overall satisfaction of your life. If you feel good about yourself and everything you do, you'll be mentally and physically unstoppable.
Building a good relationship with yourself is a lot easier than building a relationship with a stranger. Why? Because your going to be with yourself from now until forever. That's why it's vitally important to love, honor and nurture yourself fully.
The relationship you have with yourself will affect all the other relationships in your life. The relationship you have with your partner, your children, your parents, your co-workers, your boss, and your friends. Everyone! The relationship you have with yourself also affects your eating habits, your exercise habits, and pretty much your overall health habits. Okay now that we know how enormously important it is to have a good relationship with yourself, let's get busy building one. - From this moment on - stop verbally assaulting yourself. No more calling yourself names. No more beating yourself up for anything. And no more allowing other to do it either. When you beat yourself up that's one thing but when someone else does it it's harder to eliminate that from your life - immediately. So what I want you to do is SHOW people how you want to be treating by the way you treat yourself. Start eating better. Begin an exercise program. Start reading self help books. Stop mentally, verbally and physically abusing yourself. Once the people around you SEE how you’re making positive change in your life they will either follow suit or disappear from your life. - From this moment on - start seeing and talking to yourself as a worthy person. Someone who deserves the respect of yourself and others. I want you to spend 5 minutes a day in complete silence while you visualize a happy, healthy self. Picture yourself smiling, laughing, being playful and enjoying yourself. It may take you a few tries before you can see this vision clearing but that's the whole point of visualization. You’re actively bringing the things you want into your reality by seeing them in your mind's eye. - From this moment on - you must tell yourself no less than 100 times a day that you love and accept yourself completely just the way you are. No exceptions! Don't say this and then say, "Ya but your butt is so big, how can you love and accept that?" Anything you say immediately after you state that you love and accept yourself completely is something that you are holding onto as a way of putting yourself down. A way of making yourself feel not good enough. That's why it's extremely important to keep telling yourself over and over again how much you love and accept yourself. Once that becomes comfortable to you and you start to believe it, say it out loud in front of a mirror. This will bring up a whole bunch of new self doubts and personal fears. That's great because then you can work on the real self esteem issues you are hiding by treating yourself bad and allowing others to do the same. Building a good relationship with yourself will be an immediate self esteem booster. And the best part is that once you begin to live and breathe the good feelings and positive change in your life, you'll want more of it. That's how change is made and continued, by first doing, then by experiencing and then by keeping the momentum going. Building a good relationship with yourself will be one of the best personal decisions you'll ever make. New! CommentsHave your say about what you just read! Leave me a comment in the box below. |
