This morning I had such a wonderful realization as I was filling out my Artist of Life Notebook from Lavendaire. There's a section every month for Gratitude, and as I was writing in all the people I'm grateful for, it dawned on me that we are always expected to be grateful for the things in our lives, but what about ourselves?
Today I want to talk about the Top 3 reasons you should be grateful for yourself.
YOUR BODY: Be grateful for your body, whether you like your body or you think it could improve a bit. Your body has been there for you from day one. It takes you to all the places you love and lets you experience so many things that make you happy. And if you're not happy with where your body is at this moment, know that it's all temporary. YOU have the power to mold your body into the best version you think it can be. Even if those pizza rolls look reallllyyyyyyy yummy. and I mean REALLY YUMMY.
YOUR MIND: You have so many thoughts rushing through your mind every second. Take a moment to appreciate all the work that your mind is doing for you. For my fellow students out there, YOUR BRAIN IS DOING SO MUCH! That last minute studying, remembering all those terms, your brain is on overdrive my friend, take a second to thank it. For my comedians or quick witted folks out there, take a moment to appreciate how amazing that ability is! Your street smarts, wit, cunningness, efficiency, memory, empathy, attention to detail, these are all wonderful skills our brains perform for us ON A DAILY. Thanks brain <3
YOUR PERSEVERANCE: We've all been there. The struggle. The ups. The downs. Some of us are still in it, some of us just got out of it, some us are getting ready to face it. No matter what struggle it is you've been through, YOU DID IT. YOU MADE IT THROUGH. And that's huge. You are amazing for the things you've had to go through and the things you've come out of on top. Because when it comes to the end of the day, no one else got you through that but you. Yeah, sure maybe you had some help or support along the way. But no one did that for you, you went through that all on your own, and that's pretty friggin amazing if you ask me :)
You are pretty friggin amazing when you really think about it, and you deserve to be appreciated, and most especially: BY YOU <3
