Be good to yourself

Life gets easier if you learn to live with and respect the most important person in your life, namely you, says Chitra Jha

How can you be ‘good’ to yourself? This question can be answered in just two words: No coddling! Yes, please do not coddle yourself. It doesn’t take you anywhere. On the other hand, it pays to be a little hard-hearted with your own self.

In order to elaborate my point further I have added some more words to these two words. Please apply these insights to your life if they resonate with you.
. Do not stand for any nonsense from anyone, including yourself.
. Do not accept any excuses from anyone, especially yourself.
. Move on in life without any regrets.
. Free your heart from any guilt that you may be carrying.
. Do not berate yourself for something you did or didn’t do.
. Do not spend time trying to undo your every action or inaction.
. Do not waste time wishing you had done this or that.
. Be responsible for all your actions and their consequences.
. Do not play the blame game with yourself.
. Be aware of every opportunity that comes your way and use it.
. Do not keep re-visiting the past. Live in the now.
. Get on with your life.
. Don’t hold yourself back.
. Be forward moving and stop looking back.
. If you need to apologise to someone, do it now.
. Give yourself credit for all that is working in your life.
. Be grateful for everything that you have.
