Love yourself first

We know the models and billboards and magazines are photoshopped yet we still try to compare ourselves to an unrealistic fake figure. The problem with this is that it will never be achievable no matter how hard you try, because a realistic body can't accommodate to an unrealistic one. It's hard, I know. I've been there. Which is why I'm here to tell you that when you compare yourselves to others it deminishes your own self and how you feel. 
Theodore Roosevelt said it perfectly, when we compare ourselves to others our joy is gone. So please I ask you to look at yourself in the mirror and say I am me, it's who I am. There is no one like me, I am not going to compare myself to others because I love me. And I AM AWESOME. I know it's not easy to change that self concept just like that , so here is something I want you to think about... Think of the happiest moment of your life, did you love yourself at that point? What changed? Did you start comparing yourself to others and the media? What can you cut out of your life so that you can come to love yourself more? I PROMISE YOU. When you love yourself, life is less stressful.. You don't care what other people think, and you start to notice all the things good in life that you may have been missing out on because you were to afraid to go to that friend hang out because "those pretty girls" we're gonna be there. YEAH NO YOU WENT THIS TIME AND YOU OWNED IT. Because you knew yourself worth and you knew you were just as important as everyone else in that room and had something to offer, maybe your smile made someone's day that day. You never know the impact you might have on others. When you love yourself completely and accept that you are who you are, you are able to love everything and everyone else adequately. The change in your life starts with you LOVING YOURSELF. And if you feel like you can't love yourself because no one loves you.. Well it's simple I do. I know how important you are and that you have a potential to give. Love yourself and others will love you.

Hey you. You are pretty dang amazing.

Hey all you out there who feel worthless, unsuccessful, ugly, and used. Guess what? WHO CARES WHAT THEY THINK. YOU need to understand that YOU are beautiful, worthy, successful, and important. Whether you feel like you are in the darkest time of your life or you are on cloud nine there is one thing that always stands... and that is YOU are ONE OF A KIND. Yep. You, the person reading this blog that some 20 year old wanna be the next Ella fitzgerald  is writing (don't know her? look her up she's pretty snazzy with the tunes). You are worth so much, I know that people say that all the time. People can tell you "Oh hey you're pretty." or "You are so amazing." But does it really mean something to you unless you believe it yourself? no. it does not. because no matter what people tell you if you don't believe it yourself it won't effect you. And that goes for Good or bad. If someone says "you're ugly" but you believe you are the most beaut...

True Potential

Sometimes in life we get overwhelmed with the things we have to accomplish or the things placed on our shoulders. Sometimes we get consumed by these things that we lose sight of who we are and who we are trying to become and where we are trying to get to. We may think we aren't good enough for the position we hold or the title we have, but you are bigger than you think. Your life has meaning and you are doing what you are doing because someone knows you are good at it. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I believe that we have a Heavenly father and a Savior Jesus Christ who are always there for us and know our true potential. Potential thats a powerful word, what does it mean? H aving or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future or latent qualities or abilities that may be developed and lead to future success or usefulness. Do you believe you have a potential? I do. I know everyone has the chance to become ...

Find Yourself

There are many times when we can let one thing consume us and take up our time as well as distract us from what is important. Like technology, video games, hobbies, etc. Have you ever thought about how the way you view and talk about yourself effects you in this same way? You can get distracted on your cell phone and miss out on some of the best moments in life, right? You're scrolling through Instagram, Facebook, and looking at snap chat all while your professor is teaching you in the class you payed $$ for, or while your children are trying to show you something cool they made at school instead of looking you say "hold on just a minute." These aren't moments that should be told to hold on for just a minute, while we are consuming ourselves in other peoples lives in the media. Take time to step back. How does this tie into self concept? Well, when you are constantly talking negatively about yourself it rubs off on the people around you, they see that you don't tr...
