I do not need to demonstrate anything to anyone...
 

So I am starting to understand self love and self respect, and I wanted to share a new sense of freedom I am feeling, in the understanding that I do not need to demonstrate anything to anyone.

I do not need to show that I am beautiful or smart or interesting or of value. I already deserve love and respect just because I exist. I do not need to "earn" it.

Also, I do not need to show that I am happy if I am not happy.
I can feel whatever I feel and let it be and let it pass when it is time for it to pass. I can accept and embrace all my feelings and remember it is all part of being human. I can remember that my own soul goes beyond any situation or person in my life. I can remember my connection to HP/nature and realize how it is always available for me to nurture me and remind me I have my own path, my own growth process, that can't be compared to anyone else's.

Even if I am happy at a given moment, I do not need to show it to the world either. I am not in a competition to see who has the most "fun".

I really love this! Thank you for the inspiration to keep this in my mind and heart, sometimes so hard to remember the truth of this!

Very uplifting and inspirational....thank you! I struggle with this a lot, I needed that this morning. :You_Rock_

Good to see you again, TC. Great post! :hug:

Oh I need to hear this - over and over.

We grew up in a house where you were happy 'or else.' Anger or sadness were unacceptable. Feels so awkward to learn that they are acceptable NOW.

Thank you!!

I swear that Brad is saving my mental sanity these days...

I love EFT. I don't know why it works, but it does. :)

It's kind of like looking in the mirror and saying to myself, "I love you." I don't know why that works either, but it does.
