Become Your Own Friend

About this episode

You spend more time with yourself than anyone else.

So what kind of relationship do you have with the person you see in the mirror?

Become Your Own Friend explores what it means to develop a healthier relationship with yourself.

We often talk to ourselves in ways we would never speak to someone we care about.

We criticize every mistake.

Replay embarrassing moments.

Compare ourselves to people we barely know.

And expect ourselves to somehow become better through constant self-judgment.

But friendship requires something different.

Patience.

Honesty.

Encouragement.

Accountability.

And the ability to stay present when things aren't going well.

Becoming your own friend doesn't mean letting yourself off the hook.

A good friend can tell you when you're wrong.

They can challenge you.

They can expect more from you.

But they don't make you hate yourself for being imperfect.

You can hold yourself accountable without constantly attacking yourself.

You can recognize your weaknesses without believing you're worthless because of them.

You can enjoy your own company without needing constant distraction.

And you can learn to trust yourself by keeping the promises you make to yourself.

The goal isn't to become completely independent from everyone else.

It's to become someone you can rely on when you're alone.

Because the relationship you have with yourself quietly influences every other relationship you build.
