How To Be Your Own Best Friend: 7 Practices Georgie Stevenson Swears By

Introducing (or should we say re-introducing...) the Naked Harvest x Georgie Stevenson Be Your Own Best Friend collection! This collaboration with our co-founder @georgiestevenson reaches so far beyond supplements; it’s for our Naked Harvest community. Inspired by Georgie's core belief system and the inner work she's dedicated herself to over the years, this collection reflects her journey towards self-discovery and empowerment. Georgie has distilled her wisdom into 7 crucial rules, guiding you on the path to becoming your own best friend. We're thrilled to share Georgie’s ethos to inspire and uplift you, encouraging you to show up for yourself with the same love and support you would offer your best friend. Let's explore how you can practically integrate Georgie's 7 rules into your everyday life:

RULE #1: SHIFT YOUR INTERNAL DIALOGUE

Start by becoming aware of the way you speak to yourself. Are your thoughts uplifting and encouraging, or do they lean towards self-criticism? Whenever you catch yourself engaging in negative self-talk, pause and reframe those thoughts. Replace self-doubt with positive affirmations and reminders of your worth. Journaling can also be a powerful tool for challenging and reshaping your internal dialogue.

RULE #2: KEEP THE PROMISES YOU MAKE WITH YOURSELF

Treat commitments to yourself with the same level of importance as commitments to others. Whether it's sticking to a workout routine, prioritising self-care, or pursuing personal goals, honour the promises you make to yourself. Create a habit tracker or schedule to hold yourself accountable, and celebrate each milestone along the way.

RULE #3: TURN UP THE VOLUME OF YOUR INTUITION

Your intuition is a powerful guiding force, but it requires tuning in and trusting its wisdom. Practice mindfulness techniques such as meditation or deep breathing to quiet external noise and connect with your inner voice. Pay attention to how your body responds to different situations - it often holds valuable insights that can help you make decisions aligned with your true desires.

RULE #4: STAY TRUE TO YOUR BOUNDARIES

Boundaries are essential for maintaining healthy relationships and preserving your well-being. Take the time to identify your personal boundaries, whether they relate to your time, energy, or emotional limits. Communicate these boundaries assertively and respectfully, and don't hesitate to enforce them when necessary. Remember,  saying no to others means saying yes to yourself!

RULE #5: DISH OUT THE COMPLIMENTS

Just as you would uplift and support a friend, practice offering yourself words of kindness and appreciation. Acknowledge your strengths, achievements, and progress, no matter how small they may seem. Celebrate your unique qualities and the value you bring to the world. Surround yourself with positive affirmations and affirming people who lift you up.

RULE #6: KNOW YOUR PRIORITIES

Life is full of demands and distractions, but knowing your priorities helps you stay focused on what truly matters. Take the time to clarify your values and goals, both short-term and long-term. Create a prioritised to-do list or schedule to allocate your time and energy effectively. Remember that it's okay to say no to activities or opportunities that don't align with your priorities.

RULE #7: GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO GO AFTER IT

You are deserving of your dreams and desires, so don't hold yourself back. Embrace the courage to pursue what sets your soul on fire, whether it's starting a new venture, learning a new skill, or stepping out of your comfort zone. Practice self-compassion and resilience as you navigate challenges and setbacks along the way. Remember that the journey is just as important as the destination.

By embracing these seven rules and integrating them into your daily life, you'll strengthen your relationship with yourself and cultivate a deep sense of self-love and empowerment. Georgie's message is clear: raise your standards and treat yourself with the same care and compassion you would offer your best friend!
