Why do we remember certain things, and yet forget the rest?
We carry around this unfinished story that is not meant to be dragged around. The words that cover multiple of pages that need to be ripped up and tossed away for good. These words we feed ourselves. Words that tear us up silently and constantly suffocating our thinking of ourselves. Belittling our sense of worth.
We aren’t good enough, pretty enough, likable enough, capable of doing what we are set to do. We get in the cycle of emotion where we constantly feed our mind these negative thoughts allowing it to take over our thinking, which in the end only ends up in a puddle of disaster.
Sometimes for me, I feel inadequate for certain things – I wish to be that smart women who has everything together, but (Does anyone really have it all together?) Someone who one looks up too. Someone who somebody is proud of. “I’m not saying I am neither one of these, but there are times where I do fall short of thinking better of myself.” And I am OK to say that because I know I am NOT alone. All these continuous thoughts that drown out our mindset about ourselves are all filler lies from Satan himself. (Feeding off on our unhappiness.)
I know for me: I tend to get in moods where I can’t understand (Why?) (Why am I feeling this way about myself?) It’s not fun. I know we all have insecurities and face them everyday in our life, but the thief of comparison is a real-talk fighting word that will destroy the way you carry yourself and think about yourself.
So, rather than bundling up these inner thoughts, I am writing this down not only for me but for others as well to understand the importance of:
- Taking care of yourself: Meaning, treating yourself as worthy and precious
- Knowing what you offer: Your best attributes (Kind heart, understanding, forgivable, etc)
- Go to the Bible ( You are perfect and wonderfully made)
- Listening to your inner thoughts and breaking it down to the core of why you are feeling a certain way.
- Cling to peace and happiness rather than a (nasty attitude)
- Remind yourself that you are loved, cherished, and adored.
- Be confident in the works that God has created in you.
