Build A Better Relationship With Yourself

I recently took a few days off due to feeling that old "under the weather" feeling.

I am able to take these days off guilt-free which was not something I was able to do some years ago when I thought I had to continue and push through everything that got in my way. (See my version of the tortoise and the hare).

One of the best ways I have found to quickly recover from feeling guilty for taking time off is by building a better relationship with yourself.

When I practice this, I am able to ask myself and answer in an honest and open manner how I am feeling and come up with ideas on what to do to get back on track.

You are with yourself every moment of every day, doesn't it make sense that you have a good quality, loving and understanding relationship with yourself?

Many of us try to build quality relationships with others and gauge the quality of their lives based on our external relationships but what about your relationship with ourselves?

• Are you as accepting of yourself as you are with others?

• Do you go out of your way to make yourself feel better like you do with others?

• Are you ready and willing to do yourself the favors that you do for others?

...catch my drift?

This post is a little reminder of how you would benefit from remembering yourself while you are trying to improve the world for others. The better the relationship you have with yourself, the better and deeper relationships you can have with friends and other loved ones. Never forget to keep yourself in the loop when building relationships!

Much of our focus at My Enriched Life is to build this ever-important relationship. This can be an extremely important factor in allowing you to live an enriched life.
