Who’s your best friend? Did you say yourself? You should, because there’s no one more important to you than you. You may think there is, but you can only experience other people through your own state of consciousness. So your state of consciousness is the most important determining factor for your relationships and your happiness in life.
So how do you treat yourself? How do you talk to yourself? Are you loving and kind, or critical and harsh? Do you spend quality time with yourself uninterrupted and undistracted, or do you avoid yourself? Do you dread spending extended alone time with just yourself, or do you love it? The answer to this question is the real measure of your happiness.
In this podcast, I talk about the nature of our relationship with ourselves. I share 3 simple but powerful steps for improving that relationship. I talk about a practical tool that a shaman in Peru taught me for giving ourselves some much needed self-love. And I share how we can deepen our relationship with ourself in a way that improves our relationships with everyone around us.
Remember, if the source of happiness was on top of the world's tallest mountain or at the bottom of the deepest ocean, it would have been discovered long ago and everyone would make a pilgrimage to this place. But instead, the universe put that source of happiness in the last place anyone would think to look — within.
