As you heal you need a friend. That friend is you.
When you start out on your journey you might not be feeling too good about yourself. Your self-esteem may have taken a blow, leaving you with shaky confidence, doubts about your worth and even questions about your identity.
When this happens, the less-than-complimentary thoughts you have about yourself feed into the negative self-image that, over time, has been created (you weren’t born with it!). You might have accumulated a library full of negative tapes that you keep stored in your head.
If you are in the habit of playing these tapes, be a friend to yourself and decide to stop. Identify them, recognize them and listen for them. Every time one comes on, turn it off.
Every time you send yourself a negative thought, you work against yourself. Be your own best friend and work with yourself. Send it back immediately and replace it with a positive one!
