How to Love Oneself

yup, i have some issues with this. ~ it's a quote ~

You have too much insecurities and

too many judgments on yourself

That blocks acceptance.

I think it goes this way for a lot of us, Pax...I used to deal with mine by trying to be a perfectionist, and do you know where that left me more often than not? Sitting in a pool of emotional wreckage. These days I try to face the insecurities head on and limit judging myself (because I just know someone's already doing that for me *laugh*) and try to focus on the things I'm good at and, after telling myself a thousand times I'm actually good at something, I even start to believe it. We're all a hot mess when it comes to this. Just take a breath, shake it off, and persevere, baby.

Great job.

sometimes a thousand times isn't enough for our hard headed skull, but then again it does pierce through most of the time :) ~ I like the idea of limiting the judgemental self, because its true that someone is already doing that hehe ~ shake it off is the best thing to do ;) ~ and it goes to my fav song by flourence

It's always an honor for me when you come by ~ thank you very much Kimmer ~

[KAOlmsted]

It's always my pleasure, Pax. I enjoy my visits immensely.

You could. Say its true. I don't love myself, in fact loth, hate, and dispise myself. One of the many reasons I don't look in mirrors, or spend my days reading and writing just to escape my reality. Also why death haunts my dreams, and my thoughts.

i am with you my friend ~ acceptance is just hard to swallow at times ~ but through time perhaps will be able to embraced it freely ~ thanks you very much :)

Short, crisp, to-the-point and right on the bull's eye.......You are a daring poet

[Pax]

thank you very much my friend ~ i started to dare myself to dig in and write my emotional pondering ~ it's a great release of thoughts, to be able to understand myself better... i appreciate your review my friend.

very true and clear message with philosophical basis...I like it much, it`s so easy to remember, simple quote for our acceptance in life....Insecurity is the problem, that makes you far away from your goal, you should always avoid it, even it`s not easy. But also if u are so much secure and self-confident, doesn`t mean u don`t make most mistakes of the insecure people...The question is in the acceptance!

The words are true. Easy to block the good things in a life with negative thoughts and action. Thank you for the excellent quote.

Your "drips of wisdom" is so true. All of them are. First you need to get rid of all of that bad stuff before you can truly love yourself. :D

[RachelReaper]

you have a true poet's heart, I can say that with certainty. These words can ring true for everyone.

Very wise words, dear poet :)

Me to..it can be undone though..takes work..but not impossible..

[Pax]

~it never is, we just have to look furder deep down our soul. someday, i will.
thanks my friend.

[Renée]

no not deep ... just start rewording.. like when negative thought or word come in your head..change it to a positive..I use to call myself stupid when I drop something..but I changed that..I don't do that anymore..for I'm not stupid..I just dropped something is all ... change the words..it will eventually change your thought...

[Pax]

oh, just simple things like that can change something big right, like baby step growing up.
what if someone make you feel worthless, how will you take it?because i've experience that before.

[Renée]

WillyamPax..I have been though some things..some I can't talk about..but I do know changing those words in your head will help...and I do know "feelings" are something that is your own..no one can make you "feel" worthless without you allowing it...they can make you "feel" bad ..how long you want to "feel" that way is up to you...sounds easy..I know it is not..but start with the words..change them..

[Pax]

its a matter of optimism right! think something good out of the bad. its a matter of understanding and changing them for the better. thank you, I undertand so much now.
