Like most people, (are women special in this way or is it all people?) I have a lot of negative self talk that goes through my head at any one time.
I’m fat
Bad hair day
Ugly shirt
I’m so lazy
Why am I so dumb
No one likes me
I mean you could list any number of rude things and I’ve likely said them to myself.
Today I am traveling. At the airport I see all kinds of people. Business people in their suits and heals, girls in their short skirts or perfect outfits, people who seem awfully dressed up for sitting on a plane. I’m sure they have their reasons.
When I travel, I wear whatever is closest to pajamas without actually being pajamas. (I do have my limits). Today it is some joggers and a T-shirt I got from giving blood with my comfiest sneakers.
As I walked into the bathroom, past the mirror, a thought flitted through my head:
I like being me!
It stopped me in my tracks. When was the last time such a positive thing went through my head about myself? I don’t even know.
But it was true! I like being me. I’m comfy and comfortable with it that fact. I’m walking easily. I’m healthy. I don’t care how I look in my pony tail and joggers!
Pretty sweet moment. I should work on having more of those.
