Do yourself the best Christmas present and become your own friend! Sounds crazy? Well... if you only think for a while and actually listen to your inner voice... you will be surprised! We all have this inner dialog in our head. Like a safety barrier which helps us judge our decisions and actions. Unfortunately, most of us have it tuned too harsh and so we see ourselves as a failure. We are a prosecutor, a judge and an executioner in the same time… and we have no mercy! Very often we see a disaster and we tend to underestimate ourselves… we simply do not believe in our possibilities. By doing this we have no bad intentions but we only want to do our best.

So then… first we need to accept that “perfect” doesn’t exist.  What we think is “perfect” usually is only and abstract… something like an ideal standard… Whatever you do you will never be able to achieve it.   So drop the bars down… you will not lose any quality but you will relax your mind and start to move forward faster. Secondly, if you hear your own voice talking ill about yourself just hold on for a while and think: what would I say if my friends would come over with a similar problem? Most certainly you would like to cheer them up and support them so why no doing it for yourself as well? Are you a worst person… not worthy a good word? No! You deserve good support from all available sources and most certainly from yourself.

By being your own friend you will gain a powerful tool to battle all problems without remorse.  You will be simply un-stoppable! Because the strongest obstacle we need to overcome is not an outer circumstances but the inner, critical and unfriendly voice of your own mind.

Marry Christmas!
