3 Tips to treat yourself like your best friend.
Forgive Yourself
It’s time to let go of all the past mistakes that you have been holding onto. Forgive yourself for everything that you regret, everything that you wish you could have done differently. It’s time to move forward and live your life with love, kindness, and compassion towards yourself. Acknowledge that you are only human, and you will make mistakes. Nobody is perfect, and it’s impossible to be perfect all the time. Embrace your imperfections, they are what make you unique, and they are what make you who you are.
Think of forgiveness as a gift to yourself, not as something that you do for others. When you forgive yourself, you open up space in your heart for love, joy, and positivity. You become more resilient, and you gain more strength to face the challenges that come your way. Your best friend screws up and apologizes and you’re ready to give them another chance. Show the same love to yourself.
Listen to and tend to your own Needs
When your best friend is going through something you remind them to rest and make sure they are taking care of themselves. You are always there to offer advice as needed. Listen to your body and mind when they are telling you to take care of yourself. Too often we push ourselves over the edge, trying to get everything crossed off our list. But sometimes you need to slow down, for both your mental and physical health. Taking care of yourself ia great way to show self-love just as you do your loved ones.
Treat Yourself
Some of the kindest things our best friends do for us are unexpected surprises like: bringing you flowers; inviting you out for drink. Show yourself that same love with the occasional treat. Sometimes you just need a latte or a massage to make a rough day a little better. Your best friend is your best friend for a reason. They wouldn’t stick around if they didn’t love everything about you, and you wouldn’t hang out with them if you didn’t love them just the same. If you learn to show yourself the same care and kindness you show your best friend, then you can truly learn how to love yourself.
