Something by Susie

We are seriously our worst enemies and critics. Our words about ourselves are harsh as hell sometimes. We are unforgiving and sometimes, downright mean to ourselves. Self sabotage should be our motto.

• This makes me look fat or fatter
• My hair looks rubbish
• My skin seriously needs some help
• I am so lazy
• I am rubbish at this
• Why would someone ever love me like this….

The list goes on and on, I  certainly wouldn’t speak to someone I loved that way, or a friend and neighbour.  So why are we that mean to ourselves. We seem to have a different ruleset when dealing with ourselves. We seem to be less than kind to ourselves.

We think all these bad things we say about ourselves are true on some level. Others hear us when we depreciate our own value, and they correct us, yet we don’t believe them. In fact in reversed roles we’d do the same thing for our friends. We help to lift them up, to make them kinder to themselves, to show them they are loved, they are respected and they are awesome. That’s what friends do for each other, but none of us listen to our own advice, does this make us stupid? Probably yes, …but men and women have been ignoring their own advice since time began, and I doubt it’s going to change anytime soon.

So what could I do differently? I could be kinder to myself 🤗, I could love myself a lot more 😍, and I could listen to my own advice alot more often . 🤗 😍 ♥️

I could be the change I want to see in the world! ♥️🌍♥️
