Relationship With Yourself!!

You happy! Happier will seem surrounding too!!

We live in a place where everyday we build and work on developing relationships with others. Whether the relationship is of teacher-student, mentor-mentee, listener-member, two friends, couples, parent-kid, employer-employee or so on. We all surrounded by these relationships. And, we all dedicate good amount of time and efforts to build them with love and care. No doubt, we also face struggles while building them. However in the amidst of all these relations, we forget to develop or improve one relationship- Relationship with yourself !!!

Think for a minute: Most of the time you are the only one around yourself most of the time. Most of the time you doing self-talks with yourself. Either positive or negative. But, you spend good amount of time with yourself. There may be many who give time to themselves. However space for improvement is there for everyone. Isn't it?

So, lets discuss some ways to improve our relationship with ourselves.

I) Schedule a "ME"time for yourself in the day. Our days are generally scheduled one. From waking up to sleeping. Everything scheduled and we all work in that order. So, why not, re-allocate your time and include "Me" time in the schedule. It could be a nice start if you haven't think about your relation with yourself.

I spend "ME" time with my books and coffee every evening. Do anything you like to do in your "ME" time. It could also be re-starting an old hobby that you forgot due to hectic schedule you have?

II) Add Laughing Minute. Maybe watch a standup comedy, a comedy movie, play with kiddos, hangout with your close friends and crack jokes even if you are bad at it. Even researches showed laughing is a good exercise to improve your mental and physical well being. I know it could be hard for some. But, we could give a try??

III) Include gratitude and affirmations. "Oh, I look good." while looking in mirror I say. Though it seems funny to me. But, it instantly boosts my confidence even if I am looking sooooo bad in specific day. So why not? Add some affirmations. Pamper yourself with some good thoughts about yourself. If you can say, "I like you" to your crush, "I adore you" to your friend, "I love you" to your love. Then why not say these to yourself too.

IV) Go for walk or long drive. I prefer both depending what the mood and weather is. Both are good way to improve your mood. It works amazingly. When you will go for it, you will feel empowered.

So, by all means we trying to get some "ME" time to improve relationship with ourselves.

You're worth of all efforts and attention for yourself. Pamper yourself. You deserve it.
