Take time to meet yourself

"Not so much about finding yourself its about taking the time to just meet YOU"

The Kindness Method by Sharoo Izadi has long been one of my favourite recommendations to Clients and I have begun to revisit for myself and Clients.


The overall premise of the book is about giving yourself permission to be kind to yourself.  When you read it, you are taken on a very practical journey to properly meet YOU.  With renewed self-awareness you will begin to see an increase in your self esteem.


The language is really important you are not finding yourself, you are meeting yourself.  Finding implies a compete reinvention whereas the book is about you  setting off to meet the real YOU.


Your first task is to write a letter to yourself about where you are at that moment in time, and what you would like to change.  This letter is not necessarily about a huge change, or related to huge habit or vice, it might be a different mindset to work or your family. 


From the snapshot letter you then create maps, which explore you that much more, these are just some of the headings, there are many more in the book to follow:-


  • Ways I'm happy to be...
  • What I'm proud of...
  • When I'm in the Zone...
  • What hasn't worked...
  • Conversations about me...
  • Some-one I love map...


From my own experience of The Kindness Method the maps throw a spotlight on you in a sensitive and with a very gentle lens.  "The advice you give a friend should be the advice you give yourself" having this quote in mind will make your ideas and plans be realistic and at the right level of comfort. 


I thoroughly recommend the book be curious about YOU
