Honoring Yourself - Yoga for Life

Think about how you treat yourself on a daily basis. This video will have you thinking about your relationship with yourself in a different way.

I was just listening to the radio and the talk show hosts were poking fun of a woman who apparently decided to marry herself. At first thought, this sounds kind of crazy and ridiculous. But it got me thinking. What if we all treated ourselves the way we would treat someone that we marry?

Imagine yourself with a new love and in a dedicated committed relationship with someone else. I expect you would be kind and respectful to them. Chances are you’d be excited to see them and keep all your appointments with them. You’d probably do everything you can to bring this person joy and to make them happy.

Now, what if you did all that for yourself?

It's something to think about because chances are you’re not being good enough to yourself. It’s quite possible that you are putting other people before yourself.

I invite you to take some time today to think about what it would mean to be married to yourself. How would your behavior change? How would that change how you treat yourself?

Perhaps with this awarenss you can be kinder and more gentle with yourself today and every day.
