Journaling Reads:
Loving myself. It’s something I have struggled with for years. I try. I know that God has created me fearfully, wonderfully, in His own image. But, the truth is I struggle with self image. I’m a good daughter, a good neighbor, a good friend. I’m a great mother and wife. I’m a child of God. But, when I look in the mirror I see very little that I like. Instead of seeing the beauty that God created, I see the fine lines beginning to form around my eyes. I see tired and droopy eyelids. I see a nose that I have hated for years, and a mouth that looks too small for my face. I look at my hands. They look old and wrinkled. I think my arms are too fat, and my butt is too wide. I hate my muscular thighs. They look as though they belong on a linebacker. I’m too short. I’d love to have another 3 inches. I want to be blonde, not brunette. The list could go on. To the world I know I seem like a confident woman who could take on the world. But, that’s just an act. I know I need to work on my feelings. How can I teach my children to love themselves if I don’t set that example for them. After all, children learn by what you do, not by what you say. So, starting today, I will find one thing to love about me everyday. I will find one thing to praise when I look into the mirror. I will begin to thank God for creating this human form in all it’s strength, beauty and glory. Today, I will love myself.
