I was wondering, if you were, let’s say, for a day, giving advice or a pep talk to yourself from a friends perspective, a best friends perspective, what would you say? I mean, you know when you give advice so passionately to your best friend coming from your heart, expressing to her about her value and how amazing she is. Telling her that she should have the self confidence to do anything because she’s is one AMAZING CHIC (I mean why else would you be friends with her right?). Or when she calls you to listen and give advise on her situation that you don’t even realize is ever-so-similar to one JUST like you were in but were too unsure to act on yourself, but you manage to give the MOST brave AND KICKASS, GO GET ‘EM TIGRESS, PROACTIVE advice to your BFFFF? If you were giving advice to someone you cared about, you would not say, well, I don’t know if you can do it? You might not be strong enough, or smart enough or pretty enough. Hmmm. Fffff to the NO, NO, NO, you would not say that. Um no. You would lift her up. You would say, you got this girl. You’re amazing, you’re beautiful, I can’t even believe you did that! W O W. You L O O K like B E Y O N C E in that dress. You HAVE to interview for that job! W H A T E V E R it is. You get the point. You’d give her all the confidence you could, to encourage her to do what she was trying to do to get it done. My question is. Why aren’t we that same awesome, uplifting friend to ourselves? Giving ourselves the best advice and encouragement. Unafraid, you got this, don’t EVEN THINK about anything less than talks. Because, after all, the first voice we have no choice to listen to is our own. Maybe we need to take a little more time to recognize our own awesomeness, not in an egotistical way. Just in an I’m going to give myself the same kind of respect and encouraging, I know I can do it, best friend kind of way. We got this way more often than we think. . . #mrsapplepie #applepieconstructionservices #orangecounty #remodel #dogsofinstagram #dogmom #rottweiler #lifestyleblogger #positivethinking #orangecounty #family #howyouhome #instainteriors #authentic #woof #lagunaniguel #winner #puppiesofinstagram (at Laguna Niguel, California)
