So how do best friends treat each other? With value and respect. By honoring the person who is their friend-- their talents, their triumphs. By standing by through the faltering, the disappointments and the pain. Best friends can be counted on to be kind with their truths, to be genuine and patient. Friendships evolve and change. Only one person will be there for your lifetime--

Its enlightening to realize I could and should be my own best friend. These words reach my inner most being.

ReplyDeleteIt is natural for us to internalize criticism, failures, embarrassing moments because these experiences are unpleasant and we want to avoid them. Self-critical commentary becomes automatic. The best way to change this is by catching these negative automatic thoughts and rephrasing them the way you would speak to a best friend. Practice works.
