10 Things To Say To The Person In The Mirror

Some people say that we are our own biggest critic. It's easy to find flaws in ourselves when we feel down, and that can make us insecure. However, our flaws don't define who we are, and we are perfect even with our flaws. It doesn't matter if anybody notices our flaws or if we are the only ones who see them, our strengths are what we should be noticing more. Forget about your shortcomings and pay more attention to what makes you shine. Take time to notice how amazing you are as a person, and when you look in the mirror and feel insecure, tell yourself these truths:

1. You are beautiful.

You are a beaming radiation of beauty. Your attractiveness surpasses all doubt. Your hair is perfect the way it is. Your smile creates a chain reaction of smiles. You're hotter than a bbq on the Fourth of July. You have a natural glow about you that cannot be dimmed.

2. You are strong enough.

Of course life throws you obstacles. If life was easy all the time it would be a one-way street that leaves no room for a change of direction. You can overcome anything you face. Even when things seem impossible, you are strong enough to get through it and you will come out on top.

3. You can do anything.

That may sound cliché but it is the truth. The world is yours and if you have plans to do good, go for it! Nothing is too hard as long as you try. When people put you down, or if you put yourself down, remind yourself that every goal is reachable. Anything you set your mind to do can be accomplished and never forget that.

4. You are more than good enough.

If anyone tells you otherwise, their shoes are untied because they're trippin'!! You are even more than good enough, you're worth anything and everything that you work for. It's not always easy to see it, but you are perfect and don't need to change. You exceed all expectations just by being the way you are.

5. You can make a difference.

One person has the power to make an infinite amount of people happy. By helping just one person, you're helping millions (chain reaction). You can be the honey that sweetens someone's tea, or the frosting on their mini wheats. Look at yourself and recognize that you can make a difference in people's lives for the better; and by doing that the world is growing in love.

6. You are perfect.

Every part of you is 100 percent amazing. You are the human form of sensation. No matter what people say, no matter what you go through, you are undeniably perfect and there is no bringing you down. Name your insecurities Felicia and tell them bye!

7. You got this!

Whatever you want in life, whatever your hopes and ambitions are, whatever direction you're heading towards, you got this!! Confidence sometimes can get lost or lowered during life's hardships but don't forget that you can do anything. That one thing that seems impossible has nothing on you.

8. You don't need to compare.

What other people do or have does not need to affect you. Don't think that other people are smarter or prettier than you. If somebody has more than you, be happy for them and if somebody has less than you, help them rise up. Other than that, don't feel the need to compare yourself to anyone. You're the best you.

9. You are just as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside.

You are such a great person. You may feel down about yourself sometimes so it's important to remember that your heart and your personality are the utmost peak of excellence. You have an astonishingly lovely soul. Your attitude is a gift. Present it well.

10. You are loved.

When you feel like everyone is against you, or that you're all alone, keep in mind that you are loved. There are people everywhere who love you and love loving you. Regardless of who you have or don't have in your life, you are so loved. If you don't feel it, know inside that you are loved. If you question yourself, remember how much you are loved. You are so immensely loved that nothing can bring you down. You are loved for you.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
