Becoming Your Own Best Friend

"The idea of being kinder to ourselves sounds beautiful. But after spending years or even decades fixated on seeing ourselves as something to fix and change; withholding love when we need it the most; being hard on ourselves...doing the opposite and offering love and compassion to ourselves when we need it the most is hard. Love is natural, but it’s not easy if we’re out of practice, with our guard up, and years of trauma built upon what is natural to us at our core. Love is so much more productive in the way of healing and change and transformation. When love is the bedrock for what we offer ourselves and others, magic and connection and healing ensues."
