Dear Beautiful,
Did you catch what I said? Dear Beautiful. BEAUTIFUL. Think about that for a moment and allow it to sink in. You are BEAUTIFUL.
We are so quick to receive negative things said to us or about us, yet we struggle to accept even a simple compliment. Why is that? Why do we insist that the negatives are true and reject the positives?
Today is the day for things to be different. Why go on another day allowing all the negative statements we say to ourselves or hear from others to pierce our minds, hearts, and souls? They steal our joy, our confidence, our freedom, and our lives.
It's time for a change. The next time you catch yourself criticizing who you are or how you look, choose not to dwell on those statements. Choose not to even give them a second thought. They do not deserve your time, you feelings, your energy. And the next time you're given a compliment, choose to accept it. Think about it. Repeat it to yourself. Dare to believe it is true.
Beautiful, the time is now. Don't allow another moment to pass you by. Choose to make things different today.
Beauty Tip #5: The next time you receive a compliment, don't simply dismiss it, dare to believe that it is true, and make a choice to believe it is. Practice often.
Such a great reminder and challenge. This is one thing that I struggle with. Thank you Lindsey for challenging me with every entry
