She asked me why I did it, I told her that I like to give myself things that I want and I know that they are not going to give them to me, because when we give a gift (this is my thought) it is something that we do or buy thinking about that person, in the case that the person either sees it as very insignificant or does not like it (because they are not interested or maybe they were expecting something else).
It is wonderful when we begin to look at that part of treating ourselves with kindness ... to listen to the words with which we define ourselves, even when in a time of lesser age the words escaped as stupid, silly, others at certain times in our daily chores, in those times perhaps we let them escape as a joke or simply because we felt that way at that time.
With the passing of the years, working on our self-esteem, self-concept, and understanding opens the way to that way of looking at ourselves and how we treat ourselves, accepting mistakes or blunders as we say, but without tormenting ourselves, just looking for the best way to solve them for our inner selves.
This is not an easy task when the mind remains closed to such circumstances.
To get out of these ties one of the main strategies has been reading, tutorials about re-knowing myself as a person. I remember the mirror theme when I started listening and practicing it, changing the strong words to kind words. Instead of saying I am stupid change it to: I am a person of many ideas, although this idea did not please much. Starting to integrate the theory of the power of words for me was and still is very meaningful. To turn around those words that maybe I used to say just to get out of the way. Not now.

Another strategy is to keep giving myself, even if it is not material things, a sunset, admiring the rain through my window, enjoying an ice cream (I like them very much), the few flowers that are left in my garden (those colors that nature gives me), listening to a book that makes my soul happy (these days I am giving myself the gift of listening to Marianne Willianson's Volver al Amor) I look for that moment of the day among so many things to focus on the content.
I added the strategy of walking in the mornings as a gift for my body, bones, muscles, and joints combined with some strength exercises.
A strategy that has been part of me for a few months is bioenergy therapy, how many things are discovered through it?
They are strategies that are part of my day, and others are added to not lose that kindness with myself.
I invite
@brujita18, and
@annafenix to participate.
