A moment of self-compassion
can change your entire day.
A string of such moments
can change the course of your life.
Christopher K. Germer
Just for today, I think I will treat myself like I would treat a best friend. I will speak nicely and use supportive language instead of squashing ideas with negativity. I will dress a little nicer to honor my body for supporting me throughout the years. Maybe I will visit a beautiful park instead of walking my regular 3-4 mile route. I will open my ears to the sounds of nature rather than mentally creating lists and deadlines. I'll stop at the store and buy some flowers and bring the living beauty of life back into my private space. Lighting a candle will be another reminder to celebrate all that I am. Then at the end of the day, perhaps I will journal from my heart all that I have learned from being nice to me ... for just one day.
