I am so proud of myself and the journey I am taking right
now! I am really learning the concept of
self-love for the first time in my entire life.
I am looking in the mirror and I am happy with the woman I see looking
back at me. I am the most confident I
have ever been, I feel strong, capable and so very happy. It took me a very long time to find her, but
now that I have I am not letting her go ever again. I can’t change my past but I can certainly
reflect back and see how it helped to shape me into the person I am today. Every part of my past brought me to where I
am now. There were moments that almost
broke me, years I spent settling because that’s what I was supposed to do,
years of feeling numb and lost in life.
Today, I am fighting for that woman! She has a heart of gold and will try her best
to be kind and smile at everyone no matter how she is feeling. She is brave and she is no longer going to
let the world or anyone in it bring her down, no matter what challenge she is
faced with. She is learning to take
risks and experience life! She is
learning to stand up for herself and not engage in toxic behavior! She is learning what she wants out of this life
and how to work towards it! She is
stubborn and maybe a little ornery at times! She can be sensitive! She cries over puppies and babies! She loves
anything beautiful, especially when it’s found in nature – sunrises, sunsets,
rainbows & flowers are the best! She
loves the fresh air, especially after a good rain! Also, the sweet smell of corn in the latter
days of summer! She loves gravel roads
and good music! She is strong! She is
beautiful! And she is ME!
I spend a lot
of time praying for this woman and the more I pray for her, the more I love
her!
Maybe these affirmations seem silly, but the more I love
myself, the more confident and happy I become.
I wish that every single person could find the things within
themselves that they adore and learn to use those qualities to love themselves and accomplish
the things in life they desire most. At
first it felt a little conceited to write down all of the things I love about
myself, but then again after spending years telling myself that I really wasn’t
that important, I think this is ok and maybe long overdue! And maybe it might help inspire others to
start looking at themselves in the mirror and finding the things within
themselves that they love too!
We are all on this journey together! When we love ourselves we can begin to love others even more! And as the saying goes, love conquers hate both within as well as towards others!
