How to parent yourself

Today I realized how important parenting yourself is. Most people have a parental figure in their life. We all grow up and that fact may change for everyone. You become your own parent in a sense. You must learn to be patient with yourself. You also learn when, how, and why you need to set discipline for yourself. Just like working out you must strive everyday to be better. This can be applied for all instances of life. We all have unique ways of learning and behaving. Connection to self is the most important thing when learning to apply these skills.
