Happiness Tool : Being Nice to Yourself

Happiness Tool : Being Niceto Yourself

Have you ever said “I’m my own worst

enemy”? Many of us are, but we don’t have to

be. By changing what you think, you can be

your own best friend instead. Wouldn’t that be

nice, to have the one person who is always

with you helping and supporting you instead of

hurting you and making things worse?

You can be your own best friend. Think about

what’s great about best friends, and be that

way to yourself.

Be gentle with yourself. Listen to what you say

to yourself, and if you wouldn’t stand by and

let someone say those things to a close friend

of yours, don’t stand by while you say them to

yourself, either. Think about what you would

say to defend your friend, and say it in your

own defense instead.

I realize that now you’re not only talking to

yourself, you’re arguing with yourself, but bear

with me. If you’re already talking to yourself,

there are at least two of you in your head.

Introducing an extra won’t hurt, and may bring

you to a pleasant majority!
