“The most important relationship is the minds relationship with itself. In other words, the ultimate-- and, really, the only -- relationship you have is the relationship with your own thoughts.”

A Journey from Self-Criticism to Self -Compassion
According to healthybrains.org we have about 70,000 thoughts a day!
Are you aware of the quality of your thoughts?
In my 20s I was in an abusive relationship - with myself. I had an inner dictator who often ruled my thoughts and was very mean to me.
It took me years to understand and see that this voice wasn’t really me. And to see that reality was far kinder, more loving, more expansive, free and forgiving than the dictator in my head would have me believe.
Once I was able to learn to observe and gently question the dictator rather than believe what she was saying to me, I saw that what she needed most was acknowledgment and compassion. I started to love the heck out of her, and she in turn loosened her grip and relinquished some control and my relationship with myself flourished. The new love I have for myself today is unwavering. It does not depend on anything outside of myself. It's unconditional.
I Affirm: Today I spend 3 minutes examining my relationship to my thoughts and to myself. Am I kind to myself? Am I the love of my life?
Step By Step,
Jessie
