I believe to have better relationships with others you need to first be your own best friend. To know ones self and love yourself is a hard journey for some, myself included. But now that I'm 27 I want to stop with the comparison to others and really take time to get to know me. I want to truly enjoy who iam as a person. I want to get to know the woman God made me to be and fall in love with her. And I think we all need to take time to the same with ones self. Take time away from the distractions in life and get to know you! You are the only person you can never get away from, so why love yourself and become the friendship you have always wanted. So below I have listed 5 things you can do to start a new relationship with you. As funny as this sounds I believe when you learn to be yourself and love it others around you will treat you better and have more fun with you because you will treat you better and have more fun in life.
So here are your 5 steps to being your best friend!
1, take time to be alone.
I love drives in the country and lucky for me I live in a small town that has plenty of back roads. When I take this time for myself I can clear my head and see what really matters at the time. And learn more about how I feel when it comes to life issues.
2, talk to yourself
Who is going to want to talk to you if you don't even want to hear what you have to say. And I don't mean walking around town full on speaking out loud,but keep your inner voice going all day. Say positive things to yourself when you are having a down moment. Put a quote on your bathroom mirror and say it aloud every day. Becoming comfortable with saying how you feel will pay off in moments that would normally bother you.
3,try new things
For me I can get caught up in the day to day stuff but if you set aside 10 to 15 to play a new game, try new make up. Or even set a new goal to work towards then you see yourself in a totally different light. Do something you are comfortable doing, something that will push all comfort zones aside. For me that means tranning for a body comp. I'm taking year to do. But I want to do something I know will be hard for me to learn more about how strong God really made me. It's going to be a hard road but I'm excited to see what I will learn along the way.
4, eat by yourself
Going to a restaurant alone is one of the biggest no's to a woman. But it will get you in the practice of enjoying being alone. Food is always enjoyable so why not start with something yummy!
5 start a journal
Keeping a journal will start the habit of really seeing your thoughts and emotions for what they are. Often we let these two things rule our lives,but if we have a time of reflection every day we will learn to stop and use this new skill in every day moments. Which will help in better decision making. And better more true to yourself decisions will lead to a happier you!
I hope you enjoyed these tips and have a blessed day!
