Why We Should Write Ourselves Love Notes.

I was scrolling though Twitter today and as usual the newest article on The Onion caught my eye. It was titled “Mom Packs Encouraging Note in Own Lunch“. Beneath the title was a picture of a lunch box and inside a handwritten note that said:

“Hope you’re having a relaxing day so far! Good luck on your presentation-Just be yourself and I just know you’ll do great!”

Funny, right?

But I couldn’t help but think, this is an awesome idea!

Seriously.

How often could I use a pep talk from myself? A lot, a lot.

I write to other people all the time, but somehow it seems odd to write to myself.

But why not?

There is so much power in saying nice things to ourselves.

What a concept, huh?

We build trust in ourselves when we encourage and love ourselves, and that is so underestimated these days.

I think I am going to start writing myself little notes when I’m feeling confident, strong, and full of life. That way, when I feel like crap about myself, I can open my lunch box, or purse, or book and be reminded of just who I am from the very person who knows me best.
