i had a talk with my mentor today. he said i should be nicer to myself. spend time doing what i love. sleep more. be kinder to myself. so thats what i am going to do. going for yoga on monday. and go regularly. =)
hi pei, thanks! i like it a lot too. i wanted to bring it in for you girls but i think its a bit too thick for sin weather. sometimes i just wish there is winter in sin, you can do so much more with the styling. suyin : )
hi walnutsrice, your mentor is right. we are often too harsh to ourselves. if you think about it, the society we work and live in, is already functioning in such an abrasive and judgemental manner to our well being (all that peer pressure, corporate politics, rat race), the more we should refrain from over-criticising and over-expecting from ourselves.
realistically, there is only so much we can do to change our external environment, but our internal environment (well being), we can do a great deal. let us learn to give ourselves a lot of gentle kindness. kind thoughts, words and actions.
if we don't love, respect and take care of ourselves, its hard to see who else would. and even if someone wants to, they may not know how to. we are our own best friend. let's start loving ourselves first. hey, i am also on the path. you are not alone. we shall journey together!
