Episode N0. 64 Nurturing The Relationship You Have With Yourself

"The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself.”-

-Diane Von Furstenberg

A few years ago I went through a pretty rough breakup and as I was trying to wrap my head around the whole ordeal I kept reading articles that told me to love myself. I feel a little silly admitting this but I'd sit back and be like "BUT HOW THOUGH?!" I did all the shopping, all the mani's and pedicures; but I still felt like crap. And so I began on a quest to discover what it truly meant to love myself. And what I've found over the years is that for me it has been more about nurturing the relationship that I have with myself and less about taking trips to the spa. Showing myself some love has looked a lot like unlearning my limiting beliefs and behaviors. Speaking up for myself when my natural tendency (a.k.a learned behavior) is to keep quiet because I don't want to ruffle any feathers. It's been validating my own emotions and opinions instead of searching for some outside source to do it. For the past few weeks, we've been talking a lot about our relationships with other people and I thought it was only fair that we spend some time chatting today the most important relationship we'll be in for the rest of our lives--the relationship with ourselves.
