How many positive things do I think about myself per every negative? On a good day, maybe 2:10. And what would happen in my life if I adjusted that so that I was thinking at least as many positive as I do negative? I feel like this is a key to a lot of good things. accepting compliments, accepting love, accepting that you're worthy of love - for some reason it's tough stuff. I'm going to try some affirmations. I was doing those every morning for a while and they seemed to really energize me.

It's not up yourself to think you're awesome or to accept all your wonderful qualities. We all have something special about ourselves and we need a little self confidence to be happy.

I've been talking to friends recently about similar topics and have found that they really are kind of struggling in this area - they struggle with having confidence and contentment within themselves. Luckily I don't have that problem as I've spent six years working on myself without any distractions from anyone and have now found those things, but like you I shut down whenever anyone says nice things to me or about me. It's extremely rare that I hear anything that makes me feel that way (I think the lat time I did it was my therapist last year which says quite a lot).<br /><br />This may sound weird but I really do think all people in their early twenties would benefit form at least a couple of months of therapy - I've stopped seeing mine now but I saw her for about 18 months and have changed so much and have let go of a lot of pain because of her. Being in your twenties is really hard and I think we all need someone to kind of show us the good and unique things about ourselves so we know what strengths we're working with. <br /><br />I always go off topic whenever I leave comments on your posts.

I also think it's super important to step back and see how far you've come and give yourself that pat on the back - focus on all the little accomplishments and scary things we've gone through to get to where we our now :)Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17063109012892637742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1398069246981253711.post-8737845334031735532015-04-24T16:34:54.939+10:002015-04-24T16:34:54.939+10:00Thanks for this post!

Most of the time I think I'm pretty cool, but I'm always "worrying" if other people think so too... Which is silly!

You write so wonderfully, and today's subject matter is so close to my heart, it's as though - in lifting your own, by sharing what you did, you lifted mine, too. And I'm thankful. So thankful. <br /><br />And you are brilliant. A superb talent. Someone with so much to give.

The images are beyond amazing but your words about how we should think more positive and stop being harsh at ourselves, believe in us and be happy is even more touching.
