Loving Me: You are NOT perfect!

Voice Of Unwavering Confidence

A patient said something to me this morning while I went to do my regular check-in on how she’s doing and how her day is going. As I wrote the date and my name in her white board she said, “I’m starting to like myself again” I can’t explain to you how much my heart lit up hearing that. I told her she’s beautiful and I’m glad she’s finally feeling as beautiful as she is. I wish I were able to say that about myself. I wish I could say to you now that I’m starting to like myself again. I pray that at the end of this come-what-may I am able to genuinely say those same words and feel it. Loving yourself I have learned today includes accepting both the pleasant and unpleasant truths of your existence. Make a list of those things you don’t like about yourself, and say to yourself for example i dislike the fact that I am often late to places, but you know what that’s who I am right now, I admit it and I accept that it is a bad habit of mine but you know what everyone has a bad habit.
