Be kind to yourself

I told a friend today that I no longer will put up with self-depreciating humor.  Not from them, anyone else or myself.  Today I am taking a stand and starting a be kind to yourself campaign.  Why is it that we feel the need to down play or put down ourselves, even in a "funny" way? Why is it so hard to feel awesome and let everyone know that you do? Why do we judge ourselves, then judge others? Why not be grateful for who we are and accepting of that? Lots of questions to ponder, but if I want to someday be the president of my own fan club, I need to take a look at the hard issues and address them.  Wouldn't it be great if we were all the presidents of our own fan clubs seeing our worth and contribution to the world? Something I'm taking a serious look at :)
