Loving Yourself Just a Little Bit More

Just for today decide that you will treat yourself the way you would treat your most respected and beloved friend.

• The one that you would cook a healthy meal for, as opposed to eating some junk food while you stand at the kitchen counter or sit in front of the tube.
• The friend whom you would accompany on a long brisk walk, if he asked you to do so, because you want to make him happy and help him stay healthy.
• The friend for whom you would forego the mindless soap on TV and instead watch something (even if it's not a documentary) that makes you think a bit, as opposed to sitting like a mindless blob on the couch.
• The friend whom you would defend if another acquaintance came up and shouted at him, as opposed to the way you in fact, do not defend yourself in healthy ways when someone does something to you that is not acceptable.
• The friend for whom you would go to bed early in order to be able to get up early on a Saturday for a day spent in the countryside hiking and picnicking.

In other words, if you were to do these things for yourself, just as you would, if you really were with that friend whom you respect and love so much, you would be showing yourself - on the inside, where it counts - how much you are beginning to love yourself. And the more you are able to love yourself, the better your life becomes, and the more positively it affects the lives of all those with whom you come into contact. Healthy self love is the most beneficial thing you can do for yourself and by extension for all others in your life.
