Do You Ever Compliment YourSelf?

We are our own Worst Critics… 

People are often very good at compliment others but Why is it so hard to compliment Yourself? If your Friend is complaining about his/hers big tummy, big calves, that extra handle around the waist than we are often very quick at telling them off for being silly and telling them how good they look and how beautiful they are. We compliment, motivate, encourage and push them forward But when Your standing in front of the mirror Yourself, then it’s Only the ugly and the parts  Your not happy with you see. That you have great shaped calves and beautifully toned arms or great shoulders that is for some reason Impossible to see but the extra handle around the waist or the extra layer on the hips, or the “huge” bum ,That we have no problem to see what so ever. We are very quick at putting ourselves down, criticising, pulling and tearing that little bit of extra flab.

Imagine if your Friend started criticising You the same way You do to Yourself…

The funny thing is that when we stand infront of the mirror, unhappy with what we see and secretly admiring the person next to us, that person is most likely doing the exact same thing, negativity flowing about themselves and maybe secretly admiring You.

We are so quick with admiring others and telling them how great, fit and beautiful they are But WHY is it so hard to do the same thing to Yourself???

I think it is really about time we started focusing on all the Good things about Ourselves. Start looking for all the beautiful things that We are. No more negative feelings. Start telling yourself how great You are, how great You Look and Be Nice to Yourself. Because Everybody has Something they should be Happy with, You just have to start Seeing that Yourself. You are Good, Yes, you are even the Best.

Are You Good at Giving Yourself Compliments???
