Healing & Recovery – Day 19

30 Days to Healing and Recovery Day 19 by Dana Jacoviello

7. Today message: Look at yourself in the mirror with no makeup and your hair not yet combed…just you. Tell yourself that you are beautiful or handsome. After that continue with positive words that describe you. You must do this looking in the mirror. I bet you find that you never looked at yourself in such a way. You never realized how amazing and beautiful you are and what you actually believe about yourself. Other people don’t need to tell you these things all the time. Of course it is nice to hear, but it starts with you believing them. A person can tell us we are AMAZING all day, but we can’t see it until we accept it within us. Most people who think the world of themselves truly do not and vice versa for modest people. You want to balance somewhere in between those two. Everything is about balance and moderation. Confidence is not the same thing as being vain. Knowing you have great qualities or skills and are grateful and appreciative is an example of confidence. Make sure you know the difference. Narcissism and ego are what hold us back from growing and truly connecting. When you question yourself, then you most likely need to change it.
