Learn to like and love self again

Life can throw us a curve ball many times. Sometimes we strike out, but the game is never over for self. There will be new games, and you will be up to bat again. Sometimes self needs to re-energize, re-fuel, and be strong again. This is called practice. Self needs to take care of their own body. That image that you see every morning, is your own, and self needs to be ok with it. Notice, I did not say, love it right away, but be comfortable with where you are at now, not in the future. Self needs to practice giving self credit for making positive choices. Eating three meals a day, with some healthy snacks in between. Exercising each day and rewarding self with positive affirmations. Self needs to have healthy boundaries when sex and intimacy are present. Sex does not cure our problems with our own identity, our own sexuality, or co-dependence. We need to learn how to accept our self, before we can give our self to another. Self needs to be who ever self wants to be, and be ok with that person regardless of how other's may feel. Being ok, is the first step in realizing that ok is ok! Control your thoughts, and let ok be comfortable for you. In the past, ok, was usually a feeling that you associated with being depressed, and not liking your self, or hiding from who you really wanted to be. Self has the power to control his or her thoughts at any time. Right here, right now, self can feel ok, and ok can lead to feeling good about self. The past is what it is, we can't change it, or run from it. We only have to accept it on our term's and what we can handle at this moment. Self becomes stronger when self is able to take care of self, first. When self can understand that self is important right now, and that self can not control the future, self is learning how to like and love self again. Self will struggle, but it will be healthy struggle. Some of you are learning how to embrace the new you, whether that being the person you always wanted to be, but were afraid of showing the world who you really are. Other's are battling through a addiction and being honest with self, that you need to take care of self without self-medicating, and hoping the pain will go away. Some of you are alone, and for the first time do not have a significant other to rely on. Regardless of your situation, you are up at bat again, and this time you have been practicing on self, learning that ok can lead to feeling good about your self, which is why you will get a hit, and are on your way to loving your self again! Stay in your health, stay in the moment.
