Improving the Mental Image of ourselves

For as LONG as I can remember, I’ve been told all my life that  I was clumsy . Since I was a child, I’ve heard those words repeatedly. Of course, I started believing and internalizing them for years, received them as being my own, and would frequently use them as part of my internal dialogue. Every time I did something  that people considered as being, clumsy , I would reaffirm to myself how clumsy I was. Why NOT?? I’ve been doing it all my life. Recently, I’ve started becoming very annoyed at having those words either spoken to me or continue to pop in my head when things happen.   This might not be your story. You might have been told something totally different, but I bet you can relate. Here’s what I want you to remember... because this is what I hold dear to my heart now... It’s a quote by motivational speaker Les Brown that says, “ Other people’s opinion of you does NOT have to become your reality” . Well, I didn’t realize that growing up, so I started believing thi...

You've got to encourage yourself!

Who we are matters and we MUST ALWAYS remember that! I now understand & appreciate how IMPORTANT it is for me to LOVE myself & to LOVE ‘on’ myself. I know the importance of loving and embracing who I AM. I didn’t always realize or acknowledge that for myself. However, I could always encourage others and help them realize that about themselves.

Happy New Year and Happy New YOU!

Last year made me realize just how short life really is so I know that I will be incorporating less stress and a lot more self-care in the days and months to come. What does  SELF-CARE  mean to  you ? It can mean different things to different people. My advice is to  find what works for you and do that!  For me, self-care means that I’m not just focusing on one aspect of my being, but that I’m trying to maintain a balance in my life by taking care of all aspects of my wellbeing. This can include so many different things and look so many different ways.  If you want to learn ways to focus on your self-care, a  google  search will yield many ways in which you can practice caring for yourself this year. I know this to be a very important aspect in  my  own health so I’ve adapted it as part of my lifestyle.  So here’s wishing you a healthy, happy and prosperous new year with lots of self-care sprinkled in.
