That wasnt a criticism, by the way.
Its okay if youre still learning to love yourself.
Jeff Isy
I am, too.
As this year draws to a close, theres no better time to reflect on the past 12 months.
What did you learn about yourself?
In what ways did you grow?
Did you love yourself the way you hope to be loved by others?
How can you love yourself more fully next year?
And why wait, when you’ve got the option to start rightnow.
Here are 9 New Years resolutions for the girls learning to love themselves.
I will learn to love the body I came in.
Even when there are voices telling you its okay if you want to change it.
Even when you find yourself desperate to edit yourself.
Because your body is your sacred temple.
No ones is like yours, and thats what makes it so incredible.
You were born into this world atpeacewith your body.
You weretaughtto hate yourself.
But theres still time to return to love.
I will walk away from anyone who makes me feel Im hard to love.
There will be plenty of people, opinions, and voices like this.
But dont youdarebelieve them.
The ones who struggle to love you as you are, do so because theyre lacking in love.
Walk away from anyone like this with your head held high.
They are only keeping you from your power.
I will choose love over hate.
Because love is your default setting.
You are made of love, but somewhere along the way youve been separated from this knowing.
Each day, it’s possible for you to choose to love yourself, instead of hate.
you might witness that negative thought, and replace it with a positive one.
This year, promise yourself youll choose love.
I will leave yesterday in the past, and focus on today.
Its okay if yesterday was a shitty day.
Its okay if the past ten years have been hell.
Today is a new day; a new chance to start over, and focus on loving yourself.
I will be patient with myself.
Because its a long road to learning to love yourself.
Some days will be easier than others, so c’mon, dont be hard on yourself.
Love is always patient.
I will step fully into my power.
But I want you to know that whatever happened, your power is still within you.
It always has been, and it always will be.
This year, choose to step fully into your power.
Allow it to ground you, and fuel the fire that burns within.
And once you find it, never let it go again.
I will remember I am loved.
You are loved, no matter what you might think.
There are people in your life who love you.
There are people youve never met who love you.
Remember this on the bad days, as well as the good ones.
I will surround myself with other girls learning to love themselves.
The ones who will give you the truth, instead of the things your ego wants to hear.
The ones who always shower you with love and light, instead of joining the darkness.
I will remember my beauty forms from the inside, out.
Not the other way around.
Real happiness and peace come from within.
From knowing you are yoursoulandnotyour body.
Your beauty begins in your soul and radiates out.
Carry it with you this year, and every year after that.
