Guest guest Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Stop Criticizing Yourself by Jane Are you your own best friend? Sadly, most are their own worst enemy. Who needs enemies when you can consult your harshest critic anytime you glance in a mirror? Logically, we should all be our own best friend, but it often isn’t the case. We reserve our harshest criticism for ourselves. Learn now to be gentle with yourself. You deserve special treatment simply because you are special. Who best to comfort you, but you? Who best to compliment you, but you? Learning to love yourself is the greatest gift that you can give yourself. No expensive cosmetics, no retail therapy can deliver the inner warmth of knowing that you are happy being you. When we love ourselves, it is no longer important that our hair is not perfect or that our thighs are a little dimpled. We don’t beat ourselves up for imagined imperfections anymore. In fact, we embrace our imperfections. Today, look in the mirror and smile. The person there will smile right back. We are all at different paths In our lives, But no matter where we go, We take a little of Each other every where! Opportunity may knock once, But temptation bangs On your front door forever. A bad attitude is like a flat tire. You ain't going no where Till you change it. The best thing About the future Is that it comes only One day at a time. Out of difficulties grow miracles. Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice At the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow. Only those who risk going too far Can possibly find out How far one can go. Though no one can go back and Make a brand new start, Anybody can start from NOW And make a brand new ending. We may not have it all together, But together we have it all. ~~unknown On higher groundYou can see much farther from the top of the mountain than you can from the lowest point in the valley. So raise your perspective, and climb that mountain. Raising your perspective will enable you to see many more possibilities. And you’ll be able to move more effectively toward them. When you’re on the same level as your problems, those problems can seem overwhelming. Yet when you raise yourself just a little bit above those problems, the picture changes dramatically in your favor. You may feel tempted to try and push the problems down to a lower level, but that will not work. The challenges and obstacles are what they are, and it does no good to pretend any differently. A much more effective strategy is to accept the situation for what it is, and then to raise yourself above it. Visualize how you would think, how you would feel, and what you would do if you were at a higher level of awareness and effectiveness. Then, live out that vision and think those thoughts, feel those feelings, take those actions. Rise above the challenges, and from the perspective of higher ground, move successfully beyond them.
