With the weather finally warming up, it is the best time to let your creativity flow as it goes. Take the time to catch up with yourself by enjoying your favorite hobby. No one knows you more than you know yourself. Sometimes in life you need to give yourself the opportunity to admit that YOU are capable of ANYTHING you do. Things may not go as you plan and all of the hard work you placed into a great importance may not turn out right. You need to realize that the best way to understand these falls are by listening to yourself. YOU are the only one that knows what it is best. How often are you unsatisfied when you look in the mirror? Do you ever compare yourself to others? Are you unhappy with your features and call them “flaws?” Do you love yourself? GIRL, let me tell you... We live in a world where everything and everyone is trying to tell us who we should be. It seems like we can’t even turn on our phones or look on social media without immediately being swarmed by the beliefs of others telling us how to live our life.
You got to admit, growing up to love ourselves was a difficult time for majority of us. No one taught us how to love ourselves, we were just always told to fix our appearance.There are people who tell us that we should look a certain way, dress a certain style, or act with a certain way. But life is already hard enough without having to worry about the judgment of others, so why stress and carry the extra burden of trying to conform to the beliefs of others.
Always remember to be proud of the person that you are already. You have accomplished so much in life, and you are going to accomplish many, many more amazing things. Be proud of the mistakes that you have made, and are going to make on a daily basis. Be proud of every single one of your imperfections. And be proud to just be you. Being a one of a kind human-being is what makes you beautiful and unique.
One way to reverse this spiral is to focus on excellent self-care which makes you proud. However, you must not only do these things, but urge yourself to feel proud that you did them. You can’t brush them off with “Well, I should have been doing this for years.” The most important step in being proud of who you are as a person, is by just loving yourself, and accepting your differences. Love those freckles and curls! Love your curves and fat! Your stretch/birthmarks are beautiful! Beauty does not mean having perfect, straight, white teeth with a flat tummy. You can be beautiful with those features and you can be beautiful without it as well. At the end, what truly matters is your amazing personality and how genuine you are. If you’re never happy with the way you look, you’ll never truly be happy with yourself. Trust yourself with the decisions that you make in life, remove any negativity, focus on the positives, and just be the person that you want to be. No amount of approval from somebody else is worth dictating how you should live YOUR life.
When you are in your 20-somethings life can be very challenging, especially when you are on the verge of find yourself as an individual. Everything comes to those who wait patiently & all good things take time. Do not rush, but be thankful for all the blessings you have.
Listen, people are going to judge you no matter what in life. Let them judge you for being the person that you want to be in life, not the person that others want you to be. You are strong, you are beautiful, and you are worthy of living the best possible life. So be PROUD of who you are, be BRAVE, and just live your BEST life. It is the only one that you will ever get.
Word of Advice: Look in the mirror everyday and compliment one thing about yourself. Even if you don’t believe it now, within time you’ll learn to appreciate your own beauty.
