I ask you, when will we stop judging ourselves and start being our strongest supporter, encourager, friend? How many years have I woken up and thought, I hate this or that about my body, or I wish I was better at this or that, or I should be more this or that. When was the last time I woke up and said, you know you look great! You worked hard at that. You’ve succeeded at this. You baked really good cookies. You really enjoyed that walk you took yesterday.
There’s so much self-judgement. Not enough self-encouragement. I think self-judgement in its pure form was intended to help us become better, be ambitious, strive to accomplish things in life. But instead, it’s become an extremely negative force. We make ourselves feel so bad about the way we look, the things we don’t possess, our failures. It puts very dark clouds over our achievements, the things in our lives we should be proud of.
Take some time to pat yourself on the back. When you start to really come down on yourself, stop. Remember all that you’ve accomplished, the places you’ve travelled, the things you saw, ate, drank, did and said that made you really happy. Start now to counter the self-judgement. Try to see all the amazing things that other people see in us.
I support me.
