People are so hard on themselves. We tend to focus on the areas that need improvement and stay on that. When was the last time you gave yourself a compliment? Let’s change that today!
Love Yourself
There are seasons of our life where we don’t always win. It’s inevitable. No matter if you’re in a season of drought or what feels like a drought there are something good that you accomplished. It could be as simple as having self control with colleagues. It could be clearing junk food out of your pantry and eating healthier. Love on you more and high five those accomplishments. It’s okay to give yourself the same grace you would a friend! Loving yourself comes in the words you use to describe, your inner voice, and how you take care of your body.
Self Care Rituals
Sometimes something as simple as self care centers you. How often did you wake up before everyone else to get ready without interruption? When was the last time you let some candles and sat in the quietness? Took a nap just because? Whatever your self care rituals are you need them. You don’t reward yourself with self care when life looks up. Self care is your right. You know what you need-get it!
Altogether Right Now
Life comes with up and down moments. You may not be in an alright mood. Sometimes we allow our moods to dictate our self worth. Remember we can change the way we think which unlocks the good coming to us. Don’t let your mindset regarding where you are keep you there. You have the power for self improvement and move to better. Take care of the thoughts you entertain. Self doubt is always trying to hinder progress!
Improvement and Moving Forward
There are areas that we do have to work on. You ever walk past construction? Things don’t always look great as it’s being put together. The longer and more consistent the work the end is always phenomenal. You are multidimensional. You are a work in progress. Take your eyes off the construction‘s sight and work towards the finished project. The dirt and gravel that represents the pieces of our lives are slowly being put together to form the woman we are meant to be. She’s in the pieces but she’s worth it! She’s glorious.
Be Teachable
Always find as you move towards the phases of life to be teachable. Be open to change. Sometimes it comes in many forms. If you ever have a bad teacher you know that you can’t always focus on the teacher to get the information. Sometimes the lesson is about looking at the bad teacher and knowing what not to be. We have had bad role models that were supposed to help us. This could be in Mother figures, Aunt, or other women who we looked up to who failed us. The failure is prevalent but it doesn’t define you. Your success will be in recognizing your growth and using it for self improvement.
Show Up for Self Improvement
Do you know that moments when you don’t seem to have it altogether but you showed up is a win! There is joy in showing up. Many have moments when simply getting out of bed is hard. So showing up is huge. Never forget those moments.
Give yourself a compliment today! You have been through some bad moments but it didn’t break you. Although we are strong it doesn’t mean we aren’t above the greatness that is prevalent. Allow yourself the grace that you are due. You got this! The good in your life was meant for you even if you’re under construction. We are all rebuilding parts of us. That is self improvement. Whatever area you are shifting, know that the uncomfortable feeling is temporary. Don’t allow the reconstruction to take away celebrating you daily!
