I received a text from a friend this week saying that they were running late and would it be OK if we meet half an hour later then planned? The text I sent back was “Seeing it’s you, that’s fine :-)”

Having an extra 30 minutes I took my time to enjoy the journey across to where we had arranged to meet. As I strolled I considered the sorts of things that we are all prepared to do for those people that we like in comparison for the things that we are prepared to do for those that we don’t like.

Before you move on reading the rest of this I invite you to consider for yourself the sort of things – both practically and emotionally that YOU are prepared to do for those that you like and those that you don’t like.

<!–more–>Once you have answered those two questions. What happens if you substitute the word love for like in the previous 2 questions. What are you prepared to do for those that you love? What are the things that others do that make you feel loved?

The answers to these questions may not be anything major or earth shattering it could be making you a cup of tea, or give you time to have a lovely relaxing bath. It may just be to take a moment to notice what you could do to feel more comfortable with how you are sitting/standing in any moment. These are your answers and as is so often the case with things I invite you to play with, there is no right or wrong answers just the ones that are relevant to you 🙂

How often do you do the things on your list for yourself? It’s not at all unusual that people share with me that they would like to feel that they like/love themselves. It’s a lot easier to do that if you are actually taking time to take care of you and do more of the things that make a difference for you.

Love
