How are you doing on forgiving? It’s difficult right?! I hope that you are putting in the time and energy to work it out, you will be so glad you did! And you’ll need to decide to forgive, over and over again.
Today I want to talk about the things that you tell yourself.
You listen to you the most out of all the people in your life.
This means that you are your biggest influence. And the things you choose to allow in are also influence.
What do you find yourself thinking about throughout the day? Are you kind to yourself? Do you talk to yourself in a positive way?
Perhaps you are a little negative towards yourself as you have followed the example of your mom or dad or significant other.
Perhaps you just always have looked down upon yourself, wishing you were different.
The first step in change is to notice what you are doing, take stock of what you are thinking about yourself and what you are telling yourself. Then decide how you want things to be, see the difference. Decide to begin changing, taking action.
Is it true? Is it helpful? What action does it prompt (or hinder)?
Here’s the truth:
You are beautiful.
You are unique.
You are powerful.
You are intelligent.
You are strong.
You are capable of amazing things.
You have strengths and things you are amazing at.
Your life has purpose.
You have value and worth beyond monetary estimation.
You are lovable.
You are worthy of being loved.
It is never too late to begin living the life you were create for! I really truly believe that.
