Essential Truths

Some days I just feel more beautiful than others.  Today is a good day.  Today I feel on top of the world, like a gorgeous siren beckoning my sailor to come hither.  I know, I know.. a little bit goofy but I feel sexy and alive and confident. 

Other days… uggh!  Other days I feel like I just crawled out from under a rock, but it couldn’t have been a rock because my fat *** won’t fit under a rock will it?  Maybe a boulder or I know, a cave in a mountain… I might fit there.  And my hair… my hair just lays there.  I spent 30 minutes on it this morning and by 10 am it looks like it wasn’t even brushed.  But who cares anyway.  I mean, no one bothers to pay me a bit of attention………

Sound familiar?  Sorry for the rant but don’t we all have our days where we knock ourselves so bad that we just feel horrible in no time. 

I think our quest for confidence starts with self talk.  If you have ever seen the movie “The Help” there is the line in it where Aibileen tells  Mae Mobley over and over “You is Kind, You is Smart, You is Important”.  Why does she do this?  To instill in this small child these truths, because she knows that no one else will. 

Most of us don’t have an Aibileen in our lives and even if we did it needs to start with us.  It’s time to start telling ourselves the essential truths about me and you.

Essential Truths

You are Fearfully and Wonderfully made and God loves you just the way you are!

(I agree with Aibileen)

You are Kind

You are Smart

You are Important

You are Beautiful

You are Loveable

You are Enough

You deserve a wonderful, full, amazing life!

The list can go on.  Please feel free to add your own comments.  We need to wake up each day, tell ourselves these essential truths and try to view the world with a beautiful, confident outlook.
