I need to just be happy with myself!

I don’t really think God has anything to do with your self esteem and how you view yourself, so no worries there. That wont enter my answer.

Bottom line, you are you. You cannot change things such as your shoe size, your handwriting… etc.

You need to find a silver lining in things. There are things I’d love to change about myself, but at the end of the day… its not going to happen. I can dye my hair, wax my eyebrows, etc etc but I’m still me.

I think you need to look within and realize that you are intelligent, you have a lot to offer - and if you have to, sit down and write out a list of all the things you have to offer people…

Maybe you’re a great friend, maybe you’re an artist… write them all down. Whenever you catch yourself thinking negatively, replace it with a positive thought. Instead of, “God I’m fat” try… “Real women have curves” or “Damn I look good today”.

Part of our self esteem comes from what we tell ourselves. If we are constantly telling ourselves we are ugly, we will soon believe it. If you spend that time instead thinking about what a great person you are, how smart you are - you’ll adapt to that thought process.

Easier said than done - but. It takes 21 days to make or break a habit. For the next 21 days, work on viewing yourself in a positive light and pointing out all your great qualities to yourself.

If you need to talk I’m here. I’ve been down that path - and I promise its a cold, lonely path that just destroys you. Feel free to email me anytime :o)
