Affirmations for Self-Love and Self-Esteem
We can be pretty hard on ourselves — we're usually kinder to everyone else than we are to ourselves. This includes the ways we think about and speak to ourselves.
Notice all the unkind things you say to yourself. Now, imagine what it would be like if somebody else ran next to you, screaming all those unkind things over and over at you every hour of every day.
