Take
a moment to reflect on your own level of wellness; physically, psychologically,
and spiritually, and then answer the following questions in your blog.
Life is hard and I am finding perception is a major contender to deal with. I am excited to see that you will be incorporating exercise this week. I will like to find out how this works for you and if you meet your goals.
Back to perception . . . Have you noticed any concepts regarding such that may make your view any better than its current standing. I find I am dealing greatly with this one aspect alone lately. Thanks for sharing!
Mia, I have had trouble dealing with low self-esteem. It was very hard but I had to begin to tell myself good things about who I was. It is like the skit in SNL where he looks in the mirror and says "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it people like me" LOL. It sounds really silly but I had to know my worth before I could expect others to acknowledge it!
I believe part of the self healing path is doing just what you are doing, acknowledging where your strength and weaknesses are and being honest about it and taking small steps toward attainable goals.
I believe everyone, at different points in their life, struggle with self-esteem, loneliness, and feelings of being unappreciated issues (even those that deny they do, do), yet how we deal with it is the difference between making through and remaining stuck in that rut so to speak.
One thing I am personally working on is realizing I am the only one responsible for making me happy. I do not look for others to fill a void now whether it be loneliness, appreciation, boredom, or whatever...only I can change my perception of the situation. I think it is human nature to look outward to others to make us happy and that really is just not the case, people have a hard enough time with their own issues, I shouldn't make them responsible for mine as well so...I have started looking within and the more I do, the more I do not rely on others for my needs, the happier I am becoming no matter what the circumstances I find myself in and the more content just being me I am. The longer it is that I am not seeking out others to find these things, the more I see others seeking me out, wanting to know what I am doing or whatever. It's a co-dependency thing....I can help them see that they are their only source of happiness as well without even telling them what I am doing, just by being an example of not needing them to make me happy.
Finding your path and what works for you is the most important part!
Mia, yes . . . self-improvement has begun. :)

Hope I didn't ramble too much....
Good luck on your journey!!
