Hey loves,
Lately, Ive been alive and thriving. I'm excited to see what the next chapter of my life brings. I just got a new job. (YAY Me!!!!!!) so I'm trying to balance my life out again. Before I got my job I can honestly say I was depressed and I kept trying to find ways to keep myself in good spirits. It was like I kept dropping the ball no matter how often I kept picking it up. I was so disappointed with myself. I was disappointed because I didn't have a certain job, I was angry because I let certain relationships go on that didn't deserve my time or energy. I was upset that certain friendships weren't as strong as they use to be.
But at some point I had to say hold on. I did all that I could do. Some things weren't meant to last a lifetime. I was watching Shelah Marie's Periscope one night and her topic was about "forgiving yourself." When she said that I was thinking, "what in the world is she talking about?" But as she explained it I began to understand what she meant by self forgiveness.
" Sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves because we have a certain image of ourselves and sometimes we get angry for things that we let happen in the past. When we don't live up to that image we beat ourselves up mentally. When we hate the way some things played out we beat ourselves up mentally. But, you have to forgive yourself by saying "I forgive you for........." and that is when we start our own healing process."
It was a little weird at first but it worked. I felt a little better and then I started purchasing self help books to understand my purpose in life. One of my friends recommended reading The Alchemist, which is a story about a boy who went on a long journey to find his destiny. Surely that gave me a since of relief and inspiration. I may not be exactly where I want to be in life but life is a journey and I'm haven't reached my destiny yet...
So my advice to you is to be kind to yourself, love yourself, and forgive yourself.
Peace. Love. Lipstickđź’‹
