I miss that level of safety, of acceptance. It’s what I’m looking for moving forward. Someone to match my weird. To celebrate in it.

It took me a while for me to accept myself, and even struggled when I got married and wouldn’t watch my wedding video or pictures of myself at my mums wedding because of the way I felt about myself. I knew I couldn’t continue to feel this way, and so I began to make changes in my life, as I didn’t want to look back in my 70’s should I reach that age, knowing that all I did is feel bad about myself. The changes had to come from me. To do that I began learning from others using tools and exercises to get in touch with my positive feelings and side of the brain. Instead of wanting to do something I started to do it, such as exercise and taking up walking long distances and running.

For example, it’s important to me to be a good friend and to love others unconditionally. Taking steps towards towards those values give me a sense of worth. It’s also important to me to accept myself as I am AND continually strive to improve. Both can be held as dialectics together; it doesn’t have to be one or the other.

It seems unfair to get annoyed by receiving advice when I dole it out myself. What I learned about advice with my own children is that you can’t force it upon someone; sometimes, advice needs to be heard and ignored, and lessons learned the hard way before it is accepted. Most importantly, I discovered advice is better received when dropped as a food-for-thought nugget for someone to ruminate on until they decide it was their idea.

I need to accept my flaws, who I am and will become. However, I don’t need to force myself to do things I don’t enjoy doing instead, I just need to get better at facing my fears. Taking small steps is an accomplishment for me since I know they will lead to better days. My goal is to become a better person by developing both my inner and outside selves.

A few months ago I wrote a newsletter in which I was describing a Saturday afternoon where I felt pretty sad, for no specific reason. I worked my way out of it and promised myself, from that day on, I would have prioritized only what felt good. Good feeling thoughts, good feeling activities, good feeling actions. Aligned to my uttermost goal: to feel good and create life from that place. I wasn’t gonna waste another day in existential sadness. Or at least I would try not to, and bring myself back consciously.

Even today, I am not able describe that feeling. It was just so peaceful. The thought of bringing a new life into this world was making me nervous as well. I just started preparing my mind to accept it whole heartedly and be at peace all the time. I believed a mothers’ mood impacts the baby (foetus) health. I told myself, ‘If I want a healthy, happy baby, I will have to be like that. No more shedding tears, unless absolute need 🙂 . No more argument, just healthy discussions. You become the one that you want your baby to be when he\she will be in this world.’ Although I found it to be a bit difficult to stick to my pregnancy resolution later, due to change in body conditions. The hormones were at play and sometimes I was just becoming a puppet to them, unable to control anger. Will discuss about it later in depth.

I’ve found ways to accept my wants. To ask for them. To find them appealing even when others do not.

I was more naturally inclined in that direction but some events in my life introduced me to the opposite. The great thing about being human is that we can turn corners.
