Turning your worst critic into your best friend.
I have spent some time thinking about it, and I have allowed myself tobbecome my own worst critic. I deride my failings, ignore my successes, point out my flaws, and in general treat myself badly. The biggest problem with this is that I never shut up.
When my friends, wife, or kids talk to me, I don't treat them that way. I am supportive, I compliment, I point out the good, I help soothe unsettled thoughts. If I would treat myself that way I might feel calmer, happier, more succesful, and just plain happier.
So today, I spent my morning mail and coffee run just being a good friend to myself. It felt pretty good. Now I just need to make a habit of it.
On another note, I realized June is almost over and I haven' gotten into the pool yet. I should fix that this weekend.
