I know that everyone has them, but I seem to see mine the most. I read a blog the other day about how the blogger confessed that she only see's the negative in herself. Well I could defentently agree with her, all I see in the mirror are the bad things. Like my hair is too puffy, I have horrible skin, I'm too short or too skinny. I think every women is at fault of wishing that they looked or acted like someone else. I find myself doing that daily.
Then I got to thinking how much I put myself down. I figured out that I'm the queen of making myself feel bad about how I look and act. I haven't figured out how to fix that just yet but I have decided that I'm going to do something about it. I'm just not sure what. I hate how I'm constantly putting myself down and I have realized that Heavenly Father made me who I am for a reason, maybe so that I would be the mother that I am or the wife that I am. I'm not sure.
Daniel seems to only see the positve things in me. When I'm standing in the bathroom and I've just finshed blow drying my hair and I'm fizzy Lizzie, he still seems to be able to tell me that I'm beautiful. I don't know what he see's that is so beautiful, I just see the mess that I think I am. I wish I wasn't one of those girl's that is never satisfied with how I am and my looks. I wish that I could look in the mirror and any time of day and see that beautiful Elizabeth that Daniel seems to see.
For the other July mom's a mom posted about how her daughter would look at herself when she got older. The mom wants the daughter to only see the postive. Well that got me thinking, when I have a daughter what do I want her to see? I know I don't want her to look though the same glasses that I am. I want her to be happy with who she is and to be proud to hold her head up high and take the world as it is. How is she supposed to do that with a mother that can't even look at her self though those glasses? So my new goal is to find something about myself every now and again that I like. Maybe I'll post about it maybe not. I think it will depend on the day and the feature that I decide to focus my attention on. Now here is the catch (if your willing) I want you to do the same, yes you my reader! When you look in the mirror every morning find something you like about your self and remind yourself about it though out the day. I know if I think you are doing it them I might be more inclined to do it myself!
Happy Sunday!
