Affirmation for October 27, 2010: Your Own Best Friend

We have to learn to be our own best friends because we fall too easily into the trap of being our own worst enemies.- Roderick Thorp, Rainbow DriveThought of the day:It is easier to criticize ourselves instead of bringing ourselves up, giving ourselves a break, and congratulating ourselves on a job well done. Be your own advocate, as Torrey Shannon, our Expert on advocacy, suggests, and take care of yourself!Give yourself a manicure, go for a walk, shoot some baskets or hit some golf balls. Make an appointment with yourself to relax, where you won't let yourself think of the things that stress you out. Tell everyone you're going out for some "me" time, and watch the world stop and wait for your return.Have an easy day!TeamDS
