    Why Being Nice To Yourself Is Essential!

    This can be such a touchy subject, especially around corporate circles but I’ve got to put it out there…

    Nothing makes me edgier than hearing about loving yourself and nothing is more essential to creating a fulfilling life than loving yourself. What a huge pain in the “a”. I’m great at being nice to everyone else but have not always excelled at being nice to myself. However, over the years I’ve learned how essential it is.

    So why is it so important? It’s kinda simple (although the implementation can be challenging). When you care about yourself you don’t waste time beating yourself up. You treat yourself with respect and in turn you treat others with respect. When something doesn’t work out right, you adjust and change course without belittling yourself.

    • If your relationship fails, you can begin to look at it not from the vantage point of I’ll never find anyone good and I’m not lovable, but rather what have a I learned from this and how can I move on.
    • If you haven’t lost weight on the diet plan you’ve been on. You can reassess and take a different approach. Not tell yourself that you’re an undisciplined loser.
    • If you hate your job, you can look at it calmly and at what needs to change. Not tell yourself that this economy sucks, I don’t have what it takes and nothing will ever get better.

    Taking care of yourself, takes practice if you’re not used to it. However, it doesn’t mean that you disregard everyone else and only look after yourself. On the contrary, it means you respect the people in your life enough to realize they are perfectly capable of handling their own lives if they are old enough and healthy enough. It means empowering not only yourself but those around you. It also means letting go of control and realizing that you can learn from the people in your life.

    What if they’re not healthy enough or old enough to take care of themselves, then what? It means understanding that it’s okay to ask for help! So many times we forget to just ASK for help!

    What if you don’t know how to be nice to yourself? Again it’s okay to seek out help! Get a coach, a counselor, book, website, virtual assistant, cleaning person, or whatever you need to make life a little easier.

    Just remember this simple rule: If you wouldn’t say it to your beloved pet, your precious child or favorite person on the planet. Don’t say it or even THINK it about yourself because “You’re Awesome”!
