Have you ever had a heartache? I am sure most of us have it. We manage to survive heartache. Somehow we move on in our lives, no matter how hurt or desperate we are. Many times we are the only ones who know how overwhelming the pain is, because there are places inside us impossible to share with anyone else. In such times we feel lonely and misunderstood. We often get stuck in our wish to express and explain ourselves.We crave to be heard ,that is when we need friends.
What makes a friend the best of them all? Delicate, yet objective honesty. Being your own best friend means kind of the same thing - being honest with yourself.
We magnify the importance of being heard so much that we forget that listening is also necessary, and not only listening to others, but to our own selves too. We all have an inner voice to listen to. It tells us what is happening into the depths of our subconscious and it may be the greatest help we can ever get in our lives.
Getting in touch with yourself is crucial to improving the quality of your life. Everything starts inside you. Even relationships with others, they all depend on how you perceive, know and respect yourself. Being true to yourself will make it much easier for you to be true to others when you talk about your wishes and expectations. Self-awareness will get you the strength you need to stand up for yourself, say what you want and filter what and whom you allow in your life without any sense of guilt. After all, you are responsible for your life. Why should you feel guilty for wanting to find happiness? Unless it becomes selfishness, self-respect is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
Being your own best friend means knowing your best interest and protecting yourself from harm. This can be achieved only when we take the time to listen to our inner voices. Our body talks through various symptoms that let us know when something goes wrong with it. Our mind speaks each time we realize we don’t remember something or we simply can’t find the logic result of a problem. They say “Go to the doctor!” or “Go back to study!”, but you are the one who has to put what you feel into these words. The subconscious has subtle ways of notifying us when we should make a change. Fortunately for us we have the decoder incorporated; we just have to turn it on.
Life doesn’t wait for us to heal. It goes on and we only have to adapt to its rapid step. A good relationship with yourself brings inner peace and when you have that, you also have the power you need to overcome any obstacle on emotional level. Of course, for as long as we interact socially, others have a quite strong influence on us and our lives, but the choice is always yours.
