Happy Tuesday Everyone!
I've had something on my mind for a few days now, so I guess it's time to write.
I'm not going to write a three mile post about self hatred, but WOW do a LOT of people think very little of themselves. I listened to someone very close to me argue a point of view the other day and she was SO very negative in her opinion. But the funny thing is, the group she was classifying as the WRONG ones is the group she falls into. She considers herself morally wrong. There's something wrong with her.
How can anyone hold such negative opinions of themselves and constantly berate themselves mentally, but then look around at their life and wonder why it's so awful?! You have to accept you for you. You are exactly who you're supposed to be. And when you grow and change into who you will become, you will STILL be exactly who you are supposed to be. You are as good as you can be for where you've come from and what you've been through. And no one, having been through the exact same things as you, could have turned out any better than you've managed to turn out.
If you were sitting in for your ideal best friend, you'd tell you how you did what you had to and you did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time... which leads me into my second point. I think most people are 100% nicer to other people than they are to themselves. Even people who come off egotistic or shallow hate themselves. They seem full of themselves because they're over compensating for what they feel they're lacking.
Many of you already know that my Spiritual journey became much more intense in the past year because of my choice to live consciously and in balance with myself. I've lost 35 pounds, changed my diet, my health and my life. I truly believe that Spiritual things started flowing because I started to love and respect myself. I stopped talkin shit to myself. I supported my thoughts and ideas and stopped being so negative all the time.
You are your greatest ally in this life. Love yourself. Make time for yourself. Don't do so much for other people that you don't do for yourself. You bring more to the table with a refreshed Spirit that you do with a stressed out, self deprecated, anxiety ridden Spirit. In the spirit of this theme, I've become a poet yet again. I'm sorry, it rhymes. LOL Deal with it!
Love, Me
I am my best friend you see.
No one loves me more than me.
When I make a mistake, I forgive and understand.
I always offer me a helping hand.
Whenever I find me feeling scared and alone,
I assure me that I'm here and remind me how much I've grown.
I don't put me down or tell me I'm bad
I tell me I'm great and I love me like mad.
The very first step to a life of joy with no end,
Is to turn love onto yourself, and be your own best friend.
