What if I told you that you can decide how you see yourself? What if I told you that you could finally see all that is wonderful and beautiful about you?
We all have something to bring to this world. We all have words that need heard and stories that need to be shared.
It can be hard to include ourselves in the word "we" at times considering the way we see ourselves, but let me assure you, you are included. YOU. Yes, you.
It all begins with your thoughts. Begin to think positive things about yourself, even if they seem like complete lies.
In school, there was someone in my life that constantly put me down and made me feel like a lesser person and not the most attractive human. This caused me to see myself as the ugliest person on this planet. When I looked in the mirror, I literally saw an "ugly monster." Quite negative, I know, but I'm just being honest. I had a very poor self image.
Now, I'm not saying that I have a perfect self image now... because I don't by any means! But, throughout the years, I have grown and I am finally starting to see the wonderful things about myself. Things that were once non-existent to me are now glowing before my eyes. It's funny, really, because people in my life are starting to acknowledge these traits about me as well.
It begins with a step.
Take a step and go face yourself in a mirror. Look directly in your eyes and tell yourself all the good things you don't believe about yourself yet. For me that's, "I am worth it. I'm confident. I'm wonderful. I am not average. I am beautiful. I have so much to bring to this world."
The first time I said "I am beautiful" looking in the mirror, I literally felt like I was going to get sick. It felt like the biggest lie I could have ever told, but something shifted in me after that, and since then I began to change.
You are more than what you think.
You are going to start believing this.
