Growing up I have always had a very low self esteem. I was bullied by classmates, both in the same grade as myself and in the grades higher. It wasn't fun at all. My self esteem was dropping and was about to crash onto the ground until we moved to NY from Oklahoma. Here in NY my esteem was still low and I felt as though I was drowning in my own misery. There were time's when it was hard to get out of bed because I just didn't want to deal with the day. I just wanted to stay in bed and sleep all day and not deal with anyone.
Then something happened... I woke up.
I realized that the only person who could fix me was Me! I started a much needed self esteem repairing routine for myself.
~ I stopped comparing myself to other's. They are not me and nor am I them. I am perfectly imperfect and I'm 100% OK with that.
~ I was looking at myself in the mirror ore often and not shying away from them. By doing this I came to realize that while I'm not beautiful, I'm actually kind of pretty.
~ I am grateful for everything and I express that gratitude daily. My mindset has changed completely. I don't see the negative in me, I see the possibilities in me.
Once I started this routine I realized that.. I'm not as bad as they told me I was. I'm actually a pretty nifty person!
