I remember feeling lost and unsure of myself for most of my #life. I always felt like I wasn't good enough, like I wasn't worthy of #love and acceptance. It was a constant battle that I fought every day, and it took a toll on my self-esteem and overall happiness.
But then one day, I decided that enough was enough. I was tired of feeling like I wasn't good enough, and I knew that it was time to start loving and accepting myself for who I am. It wasn't going to be easy, but I was determined to find my worth and embrace myself, flaws and all.
The journey towards self-acceptance was a difficult one, and it took time and effort. One of the first things I had to do was recognize that I was worthy of love and respect. This was difficult, as I had always struggled with self-doubt and low self-esteem. But I knew that I was worthy of love, and I had to start believing it.
I also had to start setting boundaries and learning to say no when necessary. I had always been a people-pleaser, and I had a tendency to put others' needs before my own. But I knew that I couldn't continue to do this if I wanted to truly love and accept myself. Setting boundaries was scary at first, but it was an essential step towards taking care of myself.
Another important aspect of my journey was learning to forgive myself. I had always been hard on myself, and I had a tendency to beat myself up over my mistakes. But I realized that I was only human, and that it was okay to make mistakes. By learning to forgive myself, I was able to move forward and start embracing myself for who I am.
Taking care of myself physically, emotionally, and mentally was also an essential part of my journey. This meant exercising regularly, eating a healthy diet, finding time for relaxation and self-care, and seeking help when needed. It was important for me to show myself that I was worth the time and effort it took to take care of myself.
But perhaps the most challenging aspect of my journey was learning to embrace my flaws and imperfections. This was difficult, as I had always been hard on myself and had a tendency to focus on my weaknesses. But I realized that my flaws and imperfections are what make me unique and special, and that I am worthy of love and acceptance just as I am.
It hasn't been an easy journey, but it has been worth it. By finding my worth and embracing myself, I have been able to live a happier and more fulfilling life. And now, as we start a new year, I am more determined than ever to continue on my journey towards self-acceptance. I am determined to embrace myself, flaws and all, and to live a life that is true to who I am. I encourage you to take the time to get to know yourself and love yourself for who you are, flaws and all. You deserve it ❤.
That's the first thing you do as an adult. Otherwise your journey in life will be extremely difficult.
I totally agree, taking responsibility is a crucial part of adult life. It's what allows us to make progress and be independent. Thank you for stopping by

It's good that you had enough of low self esteem. Every day that passes with challenges will tend to either weaken or strengthen our decision. I will say keep up the good work and never let anything or anyone stop you from making the right decisions most especially when it concerns you. Do what is best for you.
Thank you for your encouragement! It's definitely important to prioritize our own well-being and make decisions that are best for us, rather than letting low self esteem or external factors hold us back. It can be tough to stay on track, but every day is an opportunity to strengthen our resolve and keep working towards our goals. I appreciate your support and will try my best to continue making the right decisions for myself.
