Turn Your Wounds Into Strength
Loving You
The pressure of fitting can the heaviest weight of all to carry. Trying to look a certain way or being a certain weight because of what we might see on social media platforms. I can say from experience that true happiness is not found there. From skipping meals, refusing to eat, or down to pretending not to be hungry. Self love and self acceptance isn’t found from doing this.
I have personally had difficulty of my own with accepting and loving myself through it all. Weight, image, inner and external scars. It is so important to love your body, your journey ( no matter the paths you’ve taken), and who you have become today. Focusing more on how to take care of yourself, internal and exterior. What you eat, the makeup you wear, or the clothes you put on has nothing to do with the love you have for yourself.
You are worthy of so much in life and it starts with the love you have for yourself. What makes up your heart and makes you, you! It has nothing to do with the outward appearances or what others think of you.
Be your own cheerleader!
Trusting Yourself
We run into life events that can be difficult to get through. Usually, we can change our view point on it and calm our racing minds. We can let arguments go because we don’t always have to prove that we’re right. We can even pray about it at the end of the night and let God handle the rest.
Some other life events take time to process and this is where things start to go haywire with the over thinking. We tend to bury ourselves in thought that it’s hard to dig ourselves out. We don’t realize what damage it has done to us on the interior. At times we’re used to the disappointment or the pain so we accept it time and time again. Thinking we healed but all we have done is dug a deeper hole to hide the hurt or trauma it may have caused.
When processing and healing please be gentle with yourself. The road is bumpy and the travel is long but do not be discouraged. Patience is difficult but can be obtained with practice.
Be gentle with your heart.
Let it heal on it’s own time.
A Little Bit Of Healing
Sometimes you have to truly feel your emotions. Sadness, anxiousness, or happiness. Be a mess if you have to be. Take time for yourself but make sure you pick yourself back up when you’re done. Try again tomorrow and take it day by day.
You will learn more if you quiet your mind and listen to your soul. Give yourself time to heal. Become you again and not the emotions you were feeling. You will feel happiness again and see your light at the end of the tunnel.
Look how far you have come, continue to lean on that.
Hardships
I know how hard it can be to stay positive 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Where you feel like you can’t continue. Where giving up seems easier. Where nothing may not be going right and trying seems like a waste of time. People around you may bring on negative energy and it attaches to your own aura.
Keep fighting.
Every single day.
Every fight you have given life has not been for nothing. Something was always achieved. When a door closes you have to find the right door that will open for you. Hold onto the positivity and goodness of your soul. Don’t let it dwindle into the darkness. Distract yourself with something that makes you smile and hold onto it for the day. Do not feel as if you failed just because you couldn’t accomplish it today, try again tomorrow. It doesn’t happen overnight and it’s okay.
Keep pushing forward, not matter how hard the journey seems to be. You have to believe that the universe has something big in store for you. After everything you have been through in your life, you are destined for the greatest blessings in life.
Live For Today
With everything going on in the world, tomorrow is truly never promised. Do not take any second, minute, or hour for granted. Live the best life you can today, to the absolute fullest. Do the things that light your soul on fire. Start knocking out your bucket list items. Tell your friends and family how thankful you are for them and how much they are loved. Never go to bed angry, especially with someone you love. Let little insignificant crap go, they won’t matter a week from now.
Live everyday of your life with full intention of it being better than the previous day
Tomorrow is never promised
