“ Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.”
• Being a friend to yourself. The journey to a mindful life, begins within you, and your best companion on this journey is yourself. This is why it’ s important for you to take the time to develop a good relationship with who you are now. Explore how you honestly feel about yourself. Learn to forgive your shortcomings and accept the things that are out of your control. Discover your strengths, celebrate your successes, and most importantly, be true to yourself. Recognize what you like, what you don’ t like and don’ t be afraid to say it. If there is something you feel guilty about, identify it and transform it. It’ s much easier to be a friend to yourself when you’ re truthful. Love who you are, as you love a trusted friend.
