Today, give yourself permission to listen to your best friend…
Sometimes we all have a voice in our heads telling us that we aren’t doing enough. Everyone else is doing more. We should be further along, doing better, more this, more that, more whatever… Does this sound familiar? If not…good talk. Have a great day! If it does sound familiar, let’s give ourselves permission to pause that voice for a second and listen to what our best friend would say to us. What would someone who cared about you be telling you right now? If you laid everything out in front of him or her, what would they give you permission to do? Would they encourage you to get up and move around? Would they encourage you to sit down and relax? Would they encourage you to eat that ice cream sandwich for dinner because it totally qualifies as a meal since it is in fact a sandwich? (Oops, how did that one get in there?) We can be so hard on ourselves. What would happen if we paused that inner voice that tells us we aren’t enough and listened to the one that wants us to take care of ourselves? Really try it today. You might decide that voice is worth listening to all the time. Mrs. Ann Blake School Counselor, Collierville Middle School
