Standing before the mirror with my towel tied to my chest, preparing to have my beauty bath, I took a moment to admire my body but then the sight of the acnes and pimples taking full dominance of my face, chest and back switched my mood. This made me start choosing the clothes that’ll cover up the spots and pimples on my body,I couldn’t wear my previous V-necked tops comfortably 😭 Immediately,I called my mum,cried and complained about the changes in my body and she said “Babe, don’t worry too much about nature,this is the stage of your life where your body is bound to go through a lot of changes and it’s totally okay to feel insecure but I’ll get you some beauty products to help you clear them off”.We spoke and laughed,few minutes later,we ended the call,but then I was still weak.I picked up my phone and I was scrolling through my Instagram page,I came across Kechi Okwuchi’s pictures, she was proudly flaunting her laps despite her scars.And this helped me regain my self confidence.
Loving yourself is the best thing ever
Undiluted self confidence and self love is very important.
You fall short of self love because the world has given the impression of what it means to have a perfect body,but you seem to forget that your body is an art of God which means physical perfection
Flaunt and cherish your scars
Don’t give an ear to what people say
Their opinion about your body doesn’t count
Love what the world sees as imperfection
Love the body you possess
You’re the image of God and you’re wonderfully made
If perfect is what you seek,then take a good look at yourself
You’re a King
You’re a Queen
Is loving yourselves being able to look in the mirror for once without criticising your own body?
Is loving ourselves finally feeling content with where you are at in life? Is it being able to be happy for both yourself and others when we achieve success? Does loving ourselves involve speaking and thinking kindly of ourselves or listening to our needs and putting ourselves first SOMETIMES?
For many of us, we need to learn how to conquer and keep our demons in check.Every day, we are choosing. We may not choose our circumstances, but we choose how we react. In fact, the only thing truly within our control is ourselves and our choices. It’s all we have.
Build your self factors:Self love,self confidence,self esteem and self appreciation,once in a while,take a break,go on a “self date” ,go to a fancy restaurant and satisfy your cravings,read good books, listen to good music,do what makes you happy and ease the tension and unnecessary pressure that killing your self esteem and depreciating you
So even when other people hurt you with words about yourself, when your pain is the direct result of someone else’s choices, the choice is still yours whether you let that pain suffocate us, or if you let it go.
Flaunt and cherish your scars
Love the body you possess, you are made in God’s creation, so why having low esteem in what God blessed you with?
Do you want to allow the devil work on your mindset or you give him multiple heartbreak with self love and confidence.
Have a positive mindset,make your brain remember you are perfect and then you develop the ability to compliment yourself. The brain tends to believe whatever you make it to and whatever people says about you wouldn’t matter, because YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS TO YOURSELF
