Say Unkind Things

When you have the temptation to think or say unkind things about yourself, pull out a picture of you as a child. Would you say those hurtful words to that little version of yourself? Would you tear down that child, and crush their dreams, or tell them they are fat, stupid, or ugly? What might you say instead?

You are still that same precious, beautiful person, just in a bigger package. Remember who you really are. Carry a picture with you if necessary to practice, but treat yourself with respect, kindness and love. Always.
