11 Profound Ways to Become Your Own Best Friend

Best friends are rare and special. When you have that connection to a bestie, you know it’s unique. You enjoy being with that person. You want to celebrate, create, connect and have fun with that person. That person is loving and kind to you and you adore her back. The big huge question, DO YOU ADORE YOU?   Are you a good friend to yourself? Do you treat yourself nice, in word and deed? AHA!  I thought not! What if …you could create a loving connection with yourself? FOR YOURSELF?  It’s possible to begin the process using a few simple ideas that I share in these 11 profound ways for you to become your own best friend. Hold on !  I’m not saying to dump your best friend and replace her. I am saying that you have enough room in your huge huge heart to love yourself as much as you do your very best friend. As a matter of fact, your best friend is a great way to understanding how this concept of this self love feels and how it works. If you are familiar with that kind of deep friendship, you can relate to how it feels. Hey, and if you’re not, use your imagination to envision how yummy delicious it is to have the unconditional love of someone who thinks you rock. That person who you are comfortable being yourself with. That person who thinks that all of you, even the parts you aren’t always so proud of, are awesomely awesome. And being your own best friend, saves you a lot of anguish in the long run. Putting yourself first allows you to give your best to the world.  The key part to living your best life is knowing who you and loving yourself fully. When you stop needing others to validate your awesomeness… that’s freedom !   GO ahead. You know you’ve got room in your heart for more LOVE.
