There are times when life f**king sucks, and times when life is bloody brilliant. But what can you do during those times when life sucks?
I consider myself to be spiritual, yet logical and realistic. A tough mix some days. While the power of positive thinking is a big part of my healing process, it's certainly not all I do.
the power of positive thinking is the first step, whenever I go through rough times, it takes a lot of dedication, because when you're down on yourself, positive thinking is tough. If you're anything like me, you're constantly finding flaws about yourself, but neglecting the positives. It takes a lot of self discipline to be able to look in a mirror and say "Damn I look good today". Or to say "I'm going to rock the sh*t out of whatever I have to do today."
But ultimately, saying, and believing these things helps so much. Of course you actually have to go into whatever you're doing and know your stuff, as well. You can't go into a job interview, for example, and be nervous as hell, and know your stuff, and you can't go in confident as hell and have no idea what you're talking about. You have to find a healthy balance between the two. Enough confidence as to not be cocky, but you also have to go in there and show that you're confident in your abilities.
With that being said, if you're suffering from a bout of low self esteem, or just feeling sh*tty about yourself. I have a challenge for you. Go look in a mirror, and list 5 things that you LIKE about yourself, if can be as simple as "Damn I look hot today" or something like "I love my eyes". It's up to you. Do this for 7 (yes seven) consecutive days. So 5 things you love about you, for 7 days, while staring at yourself in the mirror. Ignore the flaws you see, tell them to go f**k themselves, because you are beautiful, and I hate to quote Lady Gaga, but she said it brilliantly, you're on the right track baby, you were born this way. Also, find a few self love songs, like Lady Gaga's Born This Way, and play them. Don't play the heartbreak songs, play the upbeat encouraging songs.
So, what the hell are you waiting for, let me know how it goes.
