I had to go to therapy to learn how to be nice to myself. Before that, I didn’t realize what a horrible friend I was to me. I went above and beyond for everyone else, but when it came to me…well, pfft. I was indifferent. It’s like I just didn’t care at all. If anyone else had treated me the way I treated myself I would have been crushed, angry even! I would never be friends with someone like that!
It was a vicious spiral of thinking no one else cared about me. And I desperately wanted someone to care. It took quite a while until I began to understand that the someone I needed to care about me was me.
Much easier said than done after so many years of habitual emotional self neglect. But, I made an earnest pact with myself. I couldn’t expect anyone else to do something that I wasn’t willing to do.
The video below was an incredible eye opener. Watch it and remember, the body is mostly water! Your body and everyone else’s, too!
Make your words, thoughts and intentions count for something good.
