Embrace Yourself

Embracing who you are.

Today a beautiful person thought they had offended me by correcting a spelling error. When in fact I appreciated the assistance.

 I used to stress and be embarrassed about my spelling. I allowed my emotions to totally demoralize and belittle myself. I knew I had to change my thoughts to myself.

 I made a choice to stop and look at all the other things that I was good at and to embrace who I was. I used my GPS (journal) to list all the negatives and one by one addressed each one and asked myself, is this something I can challenge myself to change or embrace as part of me and being me was ok.

I asked myself if I embrace instead of stressing over my flaws would this have a huge impact on my life, negative or positive.

 I realised if I held back and waited until I was a perfect Life would pass me by. This behaviour was not going to serve me well. I am in control of my emotions and no one can make me feel anything I don’t want to feel. It is my choice to take on board others thoughts. Yes some people have different agendas but isn’t this makes a unique world. No one says you have to like it. Just don`t unpack and live with them.

Challenge for the week~

List all your flaws

1. Ask your self can I change them if I wanted to?

If so start exploring HOW.

2. If no. How can I embrace them?

3. If you have a person who`s actions or words are not sweet music to your ears.

Say to yourself. This is your belief not mine and I choose to let it flow right on pass.

Look at the person with empathy not hatred and think for a moment maybe this person has something going on way deeper then you can see or hear and this is not your problem. Their emotions are not yours to carry.

Enjoy your week of challenging your thoughts and beliefs.
