ARE YOU TOO HARD ON YOURSELF?-READ

I THINK THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL!

Are you too hard on yourself?
Are you always complaining about how "messy" your house is?
Are you always complaining about how fat you are?
I am sure you can think of many more examples!
Why not give yourself a break???
If you have been whatever forever why not just accept that that is the way you are AND STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP????
WHY SPEND YOUR LIFE TRYING TO CHANGE WHO YOU TRULY ARE?
JUST THINK!
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHANGE ABOUT YOURSELF?
How long have you been trying to change yourself? Have you been able to do it?
GIVE IT UP!!!!! Enjoy who you are. Unless it’s very dangerous to your health STOP TRYING TO CHANGE YOURSELF. Even if it is dangerous to your health if you haven’t been able to change after five, ten years ACCEPT YOURSELF.
You will be happier. People around you will be happier and maybe just maybe you will be able to change whatever it is you wanted to when you are not so down on yourself.

I’ve changed some things that I DO, but I’m still who I am! I think you are right….that if there IS anything we need to change, we can do it a lot easier if we LIKE ourselves in the first place! Like when I quit smoking or when I started to eat healthier food….I LIKE me, so I felt like I was doing something good for someone I like very much. Ya know? This is a great entry. hugs, Weesprite

Easier said then done imo.

I agree with the second noter. It’s not easy to let go of self-hate.

I agree that I am too hard on myself, but I like to think that it makes me a stronger person and better in the long run.

There’s nothing wrong with trying to improve yourself, but not to the point where you hate yourself if you can’t make the change, so I agree with you.

🙂 Ok!

I agree. I try to love myself and sometimes I manage to do it! It’s unconditional love. We have to have it for ourselves before we can have it for someone else. Hey, I love your wallpaper! Really cute!
