NINE: Just the way you are.


I am perfect, whole, and complete just the way I am

That is a great positive affirmation statement!  Makes you smile just to say it :) 

Still contemplating my last post: “how I feel is what’s important”.
Having problems bringing some thoughts together;  IF how I feel is important AND I feel pain and illness THEN how can I be perfect, whole and complete just the way I am?

Do I need to pick one and ignore the other?  I want to stay on the journey of self-acceptance. But to do that I need to accept all of me, don’t I?  If I do the weight loss path, then I have to be unsatisfied with my self to stick to any diet/exercise changes.

Is there a reality where these two thoughts can coexist?

THOUGHT LEAP:  Today’s quote also reminds me that I am not my projects.  It has taken me many years to be comfortable with that thought.  I mentioned in an earlier post that I was always busy, going from one project to the next.  I rarely took time for myself and the work became part of who I thought I was.  Without the next project, who would I be?  Or more honestly, without the work, I would have no excuse to not take care of myself--- physical and mental health.  Hmmm.  Is that what this blog is?  Another way to avoid taking care of myself?  I don’t think so… my intent is to be honest and discover the truth about me.  I don’t just want to tell stories on a computer.  I want to force myself into a habit of self-reflection.  A journey to betterness… taken with friends :)  Thank you for reading this today!


I couldn't love you any better
I love you just the way you are.
