Quote About Accepting Yourself
The majority of us struggle, regularly, with our self-esteem. Whether it’s our body, our mind, our age… or all three!… we tend to beat ourselves up over our perceived shortcomings and imagined imperfections more than anyone else would even dream of. If you stop to think about it, that’s madness, isn’t it!?! Wouldn’t it be far better (and healthier) to build ourselves up rather than tear ourselves down by inflicting harm on our psyches?

THEN… you have to commit to keeping the positivity going. In time, it will become as natural as smiling when you see a kitten. September is National Self-Care Awareness Month and I applaud the timing. As we’ve all been focusing so much on negativity due to the pandemic, we need to flip the switch and start focusing more on positivity and on things we can control – us!
