Update! No one is perfect!

Hello All! Sorry its been so long since I've written. We moved over spring break and finals are coming up!

Well, last time I posted about self love...and today I can honestly tell you all that today I don't like myself. I know more than anyone else in my life how totally imperfect I am. I don't always like myself. Is that okay? Yes.

Its okay because I don't have to love myself all of the time. I don't have to constantly have it together. There's only one person who ever did that and I'm pretty sure none of us will learn his secret until we get to meet him on the other side. While we should love our bodies and accept ourselves, we also need to understand that our self love will ebb and flow. Much like our relationships with others, there will be times when we don't like ourselves. THAT'S OKAY! It's in those moments that you get to take a step back and evaluate where you are and why you aren't where you want to be in your relationship with yourself. We do it with other people, why not with ourselves?

 We may not like ourselves, but we should never forget to love ourselves. When others are feeling down because of something we did, we do all we can to make them feel better and lift them up, but I have noticed that a lot of people (women in particular) ignore themselves when they are upset with themselves. Why? How can you help anyone else if you are unwilling to be accepting of your own imperfections? You can't! Firstly, because you can't teach things that you don't have in your own life, and secondly because if you're not on good terms with yourself no one is going to believe what you have to say anyway.

Your challenge this week is to sit down and take an inventory. What is not in alignment in your life? Is there a part of your relationship with yourself that could be better? Set some goals and take some time for yourself this week. Ten minutes out of the day can really make a difference in how you feel about yourself. Sit and meditate, go for a walk, eat some chocolate cake but do something that you enjoy and pat yourself on the back. You're all doing better than you think you are.
