Hi there, you going a hundred miles an hour. Stop. Look around. What do you see? What do you smell? How does your body feel right at this very moment? Put your left hand on your chest. Your heart. Close your eyes. Feel it beat. This morning when you got up, did you stop to celebrate you? Did you say thanks for the physical form, uniquely yours and artistic in its perfect imperfections, that allowed you to wake up today and dive headfirst into life?
Listen, I know what it’s like. The desire to be something other than what you are, seeing another and wondering how he or she is so whatever-he-or-she-is (while he or she wonders the same about you). Stop. Look around. Can’t you see how great you are, just as you are? Are you willing to believe it? Can you wrap your soul around the concept that you’re worth celebrating?
Find peace with who you are, as you are. You’re enough. Just for today, don’t judge yourself. Don’t listen to the noise, don’t heed the fear. Just be.
