Advice: The Power of Taking Your Own Counsel
The strength in advice.
The power in taking one’s own advice.
When we're going through tough times, it's always nice to have someone by our side:
A friend to talk to.
A shoulder to lean on.
Someone to shed some light to our situations.
Someone to remind us we’re not alone and that things will be alright.
It is natural to wish for that external support, and we often expect to find someone when needed. But have we ever truly tried to be that someone for ourselves?
The Challenge of Self-Support
Before seeking outside help, pause and ask yourself:
Have you ever said something nice about yourself?
Have you listened to yourself?
Have you understood yourself?
Have you lifted yourself back up?
Have you truly been there for yourself?
Have you taken your own advice?
Claim Your Self-Agency
STOP waiting for the external validation. STOP waiting for a savior.
The most powerful truth is this: No one is coming to save you.
TODAY, commit to these actions:
Be there for yourself.
Listen to yourself.
Pick yourself back up.
Understand your situation.
Encourage yourself.
Save yourself.
Trust yourself.
Embrace your experiences.
Know that things will be alright.
Take your own advice.
It cost nothing to be kind, especially to yourself.
