The video discusses five tips for creating a secure relationship with oneself. The first tip is mindfulness, which involves being aware of one's thoughts, wants, and needs in the moment. The video suggests setting push notifications on your phone to remind you to do mindfulness check-ins throughout the day. This helps you become more aware of your thoughts and enables you to validate and respond to them appropriately.
The second tip is to replace critical self-talk with words of encouragement. Instead of listening to the voice in your head that says you can't do something, the video advises providing yourself with encouragement and giving new things a try. It emphasizes that failures or mistakes do not define your worth as a person, and it is important to separate your actions or thoughts from your identity.
The third tip is to regularly remind yourself and your inner child that you are not your actions or thoughts. It is normal to make bad choices or behave badly at times, but it does not make you a bad person. The video encourages making amends, learning from mistakes, and moving on.
The fourth tip is to practice loving-kindness meditation with your inner child. This involves sending thoughts and energies of health, safety, and contentment to the inner child, helping them feel safe and comforted.
The video concludes by highlighting the importance of secure attachment with oneself in developing self-esteem, emotion regulation, and relationship skills. It emphasizes that knowing oneself is essential to understanding one's preferences and happiness. Being aware of one's thoughts, wants, and needs in the moment is crucial for feeling safe and capable of managing them.
