Hello February

Loving Myself

Another month has flown bye and it's already February. Wow! It's time to reflect and set new goals. This month is all about, "Love." This kind of Love doesn't have to be from a person. It can be from,

You Loving You.

This month I am working and learning to love myself. In todays society, it is time for me to reflect what I see...

Perfection is Not Realistic

Looking in the mirror I realized I don't love myself. I look and am ashamed because I'm not the, "Perfect Body." This is not realistic. Us Women are told to, "Have the perfect body," "Have the Perfect hair," and even, "If you have scars, blemishes, and gain weight your ugly.

Society is Wrong

Yes, I have scars from years of acne. Yes, I do not have the, "Perfect Body." Yes, I gain weight.... This is okay. Society shows us nothing but false promises, fake news, and teaches women to be a, "Specific Type They Want." Not what we want. This makes us women have a very low self esteem, confidence, and hating our body. We start to envy other women when we should be looking back into the mirror with hope. Society wont ever change but....

Society Affects Us

I look in the mirror and I am disappointed in what I see. I have always struggled with weight, food, and exercising. I think to myself, "Why cant I look like her?" "Why can't I be pretty?" "Why can't I be skinnier." These are all negative thoughts that I have because society said so...

We Can Change

This is not how we should be living. This is not how I should be living either. We can change our way of thinking. Society can say what it needs to say, as long as we don't listen. I don't need to listen, so why not get better for me? We should not be looking at other women and hating ourselves. A positive way of thinking instead of comparing is, "I look beautiful to me." This is something I say in the mirror too help me not compare. Close your eyes and change your lenses.

Look In the Mirror

Open your eyes and look in the mirror. What do you see? I see a women who has gained weight because of depression, from not taking care of herself, and who needs to learn something....

Love Yourself

People can love you but it will mean nothing if you do not love yourself. Period. I can have all the love in my life but if I do not look in the mirror and say, "I love you," It will mean nothing. I believe we can love ourselves with helping ourselves. Earlier, I said, "I look in the mirror and I hate myself." Which is true in most aspect, but with clearer lenses, "I do love myself." Let me explain, I love myself because I realize what I see and why. I realize that depression plays a part in what I see and how I can help myself.

Help Yourself

I realized I need to change, For Me, not for anyone else. I have set my goal to work on helping myself. How can I live life not helping myself get better? We have to help ourselves to learn and grow everyday.

Make the Change

After all these negative thoughts, I decided to set goals for myself such as,

• Get better

• Exercise More

• Walk More

• Eat Healthier

• Love Myself

With Goals Come Changes

With these goals I'm learning to love myself by working on myself. I wake up, go on walks, try new workouts, and eat healthier. I believe with hard work I can achieve them and become the best version of me. Somedays will be hard but, I deserve to be loved by MYSELF. Loving yourself is the best thing you can do to heal, become confident, learn and grow. I love myself so I'm caring for myself.

Reflections

If you read this post I hope it helped you see what I see... I see a beautiful person reading, who needs a reminder to love themselves again or for the first time. I see a person who is working hard to achieve their goals, and getting better.. I see a person who has fought the negative thoughts about their body. I see a person who has blemishes that they hide which they don't need to. I see a person who works out to be perfect which isn't needed. Most importantly I see You And You Are Perfect. February is for you

I love You

What are your February Goals?
