Finding myself in the ways that matter.

Hi girls, I hope that this week has been amazing even if you had ups and downs. I hope that if you celebrated that you had an amazing easter and maybe managed to see some friends and family. This week has been more balanced less ups and downs and more middle ground. Hey that’s life its uncontrollable, unpredictable and well unbelievably confusing. What are the good things that you’ve done this week? Have you managed to start your road to positivity?

I know that although I call this my journey that it is something that will never end because as humans, we are constantly changing an evolving and but I feel like this week I have finally started to feel like myself for the first time in a really long time.

Finding myself.

I have been trying to find small ways to make myself feel like myself again. The first thing was actually getting new clothes, I was lucky enough to get some money for my birthday and I used it to get clothes that made me look how I feel. Since wearing these clothes, I feel like I look like myself which makes me act like myself and be less worried about how I act and more about how I feel and what I want. This week I have started to feel like myself and it’s something that I haven’t experienced in a very long time.

Other ways that I am trying to actually be myself are by the people I hang around with. I have always struggled with making friends and finding “my people” but I have been branching out to make friends and realise that I deserve to be around good people. I have also started to allow myself the time to realise that some friendships are different to others, some friendships don’t last and no matter what happens it is okay. This is one of the hardest things I’ve had to deal with. I don’t know if this is something that other people struggle with but I know a lot of people struggle with fitting in. its something that I was always terrified of, but ive finally decided that it is more important to be myself and the person that I want to become than to be someone that I don’t want to be just to please people that not the people I want to be around.

What’s next

I have been thinking about what is next in my journey. And how I am going to get closer to being a better me. I have found that the little steps I have been taking are helping but are amounting to a lot, but I also love myself more than I thought I could a month ago. I have moments where I’m not happy with myself when I look in the mirror. But I am now able to see that my body is just the case of something even more amazing. I heard someone say that we never put more worth into the case on the phone rather than the phone itself. And that has really stuck with me because my body is amazing and taking care of it is so important and learning to love the way you look is something that we all need to learn to do. But learning to love myself for the person I am on the inside is what I am focusing on because on the inside I am a good person and that is amazing!

So for now I will continue to work to love myself, I will find new ways to keep myself progressing and keep looking forward to seeing the results. So here is your weekly check in?

· Have you started you journey?

· Are you working on the outside rather than the inside.

· What are 5 things that you love about yourself?

· Is your journey important to you?

· What are you doing this week to reach your goal?

So my journey will go on and I hope that I can help you help yourself by watching my ups and downs.
