Your Best Friend….YOU :)

February 22, 2017 2 Comments

Hi friends,
It’s been a while since I’ve written. I’m at the beginning of a creative, more quiet period and one of the things that comes up for me when I start writing deeply, is that I discover some of those forgotten places in me that are asking for love: “Would now be a good time for you to pay attention to me and give love?” Most days, I hope my answer to this question can be: “Yes, now’s a good time, I’m listening :)”

However, in reality I don’t always listen or know the best “how-to” to being good to myself. I’m always a work in progress.

Today, I’m writing to you from a forest in Costa Rica where I’m resetting and spending some time with family. Yesterday in our morning yoga class, the instructor wished us peace, health and the fulfillment of our desires. She suggested this could happen by God, or The Universe or angels/guides “or by your best friend…YOU.” I barely caught it when she said it but I loved it. It reminded me of a post I wrote last year about self-care, the allure of being a martyr, and a last minute trip to this very same place! You can read it here.

This year I had the desire to send you a similarly themed love note and hopefully make you chuckle with a Before & After picture pair (I’ve added them to the bottom of the blog post here)

My question to you this morning is how can you be your own best friend today?  What would that look like? How can being good to yourself inform how you treat others?

As always I love to hear your thoughts! Please feel free to leave a comment below.
Love,
Anne

    Hi Anne,
    I love the question and will give my most honest answer. I’ve been trying to be my own best friend for a long time but definitely struggle. If you remember me at all you would know that. If I could put down the bottle…that would be like giving myself a friendship necklace! I hope your vacation is everything you dreamed of. Take care and God bless!
    Always,
    Becca❤

      Rebecca,
      I thought I responded to you but just realized I must’ve only in my head! I’m so glad you’ve been wanting to be your own best friend. I think knowing it is part of it and I’m sorry about the difficulty with putting down the bottle. What would your best friend say about it? And of course I remember you! I used to love listening to you speak about things! 🙂
      Peace and God bless you too!
      Anne
