I just heard something on Oprah that really impacted my thoughts. And that is the idea that children don't mimic what they see you do to them, they treat themselves in that manner that they see you treating yourself. Therefore, if you never forgive yourself and are hard on yourself, they will treat themselves the same. If you don't learn to love yourself, they cannot learn to love themselves. Very interesting thoughts. Women tend to be giving and compassionate to everyone else but themselves. So how can we expect our children to learn to go easier on themselves if they don't see us acting out that behaviour? Some thoughts that I am definitely going to explore.
