Be Your Own Best Friend
Would you be friends with someone who talks to you the way you talk to yourself?
I remember the first time someone asked me this question. I was confronted to find out that the answer was no!
So what about you? If your answer is no, why is that? Do you think it’s helpful to relate to yourself that way?
Given that you talk with yourself all day long, would you rather those conversations be supportive or destructive? And what do you think the long-term effects of either choice might be?
I’m totally capable of negative self-talk. Feeling sorry for myself. Feeling like there must be something wrong with me. Negative looping about an outcome that I fear. Imposter syndrome.
And I can honestly say I wouldn’t want to be a friend with someone who speaks to me the way I do in those moments. Yet I’ve spent a significant portion of my life doing just that.
And something about the idea of being your own best friend has really got my attention. It’s begun to change the way I speak to myself.
The next time you catch yourself being unkind, or speaking negatively about yourself, try writing down a basic overview of what you’re experiencing. And then ask yourself… “If my BEST friend was going through this, and I wanted to be supportive, HOW WOULD I talk to them? What would I say?”
And then try saying that to yourself. Imagine that you are your own best friend and speak to yourself as if that's true.
And see what happens.
Try being your own best friend. You deserve it.

I found out only a few years ago that I was my worst enemy and critic. Someone told me back then to be “kind to myself” I didn’t know what that meant. I’ve since been on the road and on track with being better to myself and treating myself as I would a precious child or a dear friend. Thanks Rain, for this welcome reminder and positive message. Keep em’ coming :) Love ya man!

Yeah, that moment of seeing aspects of our own relationship with ourselves can be shocking , and/or revelatory. But at to treat yourself better! 👍🏼🤩
Great point, lots of people talking about "just be kind" and yet many forget to include themselves in this.

Yes! I think it’s often the case the how people treat others is a reflection of the way they treat themselves.
Rain, your music has been such a large part or mine and my sisters lives for almost 20 years!. I just wanted to tell you how great you are and send some love your way!

Wow, thank you! What a great message to receive. 🙏🏼✨
My answer is Yes. It wasn't always that way. I learned to love myself, stop victim posturing, and start caring for my mental and physical health. Now I'm not always positive with myself, i still let myself have it if i make poor judgment errors. However I'm mostly very nice to myself. After all is said and done, I'm all i got and I'm worth it. If I'm lucky, one day maybe someone else will love me for who i am. I'm glad to see you making good progress Rain. It's nice to know and i love the parts of you that you share with the world. In peticular your creative music abilities. Be well, continue to grow, and know your appreciated. Thank you.🕉🙏🏼🕉

Well said, and well done, as usual:) In a way it's a relief to find out even you have negative thoughts at times. Of course you have the best and most positive advice for dealing with it:) Thanks Rain, peace and love, please keep up the good work.

Thank you 🙏🏼 ✨ It feels good to share what has worked for myself with others.
For many of us, negative and toxic thoughts are a sign of suboptimal neurochemical state. A visceral message to step back and recenter, to activate. Breathe, eat, walk, medicate - whatever it takes to find your more enlightened wisdom.

So true. The reasons for negative and destructive thought patterns are numerous. And there is no one “fix”. And what works for one may not work for another. I also know how positively impacted my life has been by exploring a wide variety of potential solutions or helpful tips to ease suffering or help me see things from a more empowered perspective.
Great advice!!!

This is interesting because I would've never thought about it in depth like this. Now I see what you're talking about. My shadow wouldn't be my best friend either 😅. This is why I run a lot to clear my head. My mind talks too much 😆

Love yourself and the world with God’s heart. ♥️ Not the Christian God or the Hindu God or the whatever denomination God: The REAL God: Love - The creator of all.
