I want to be skinny in clothes

Keywords: {0}

I’m obsessed with the fact that I got skinny in 2016 (although, truth be told, I guess I only suspected I was skinny at the time, I didn’t really believe it). I mean, seriously, how the heck did I do it? And if you count 2012, 2004, 1999, and 1991, that’s more than once that I managed to get skinny, (I really didn’t realize I was skinny in those years either), so why can I not do it again? Because my outside does not match my inside, even when I get skinny. My first diet was in 1983 at age 12.

I know I need to stop being negative and start being positive. I need to be better. I need to challenge myself and do what I want to do and need to do.

Once I forgave you I became the girl I wanted to be my whole life

Keywords: {0}

Forgiving you made me realize my self worth, which was so longly waited for. I learned how to love myself and turn my weakness into strength.

I want to become better at giving myself less of a hard time when my efforts fall a little short because in most situations, there comes a point when life or luck takes over and there’s not much you can do to stop or change that

Keywords: {0}

Last year was a hugely formative 12 months for me, as I managed to shift my work and career towards where I want to go, whilst still finding the time and money to enjoy myself. I felt myself trust my instincts again after a period of a few years, where it seemed like every other thought was one of self-doubt. Plus, I really think that I’m beginning to feel totally settled in myself: another win.

I want to be poured out in the discovery of something bigger than myself, but with myself still intact after the out pouring has stopped

Keywords: codependency , empty-nest , exercise , fitness , health , mental-health , motherhood , self-care

This morning I gave myself two years to prepare for my empty nest when my life will no longer be required to support another life so entirely. Small baby steps toward disconnection in an effort to connect more easily each time. More gently. More consensually. To disconnect from the illusion of connection to others and connect more fully with myself. Sounds fully weird and kind of lonely. But it feels right, somehow. I love you guys. And letting you go is the first step toward recovering myself … [after all], how can I expect you to connect to me if I keep denying my own worthiness? I’m tired of striving toward a mirage. I’m going to sit in this space and take care of myself. And then invite you in to warm yourself by the glow that I’m hoping will emerge. Two years.

I want to better align [my worth] with my values

Keywords: behind the blog , body image , encouragementtips , my ocd , ocd , act , cbt , dbt , mental health , mental illness , psych , recovery , therapy , treatment

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.

I want to keep them healthy

Keywords: {0}

I’m newly committed to self-replenishment, and the buzzword self care that needs re-framing in many ways. In this case, self-care is the appropriate term, and in the past, the responsibility of care has included medical appointments for those under my charge. I have for years been avoiding my own preventative medical care, for various reasons, poor boundary setting on time management, a general attitude of unworthiness or feeling it was unnecessary, and underlying it all, avoiding PTSD triggers, although not entirely consciously.

I think very low of myself and it’s something I want to work on

Keywords: {0}

I am a very anxious person but I pretend to be relaxed so I don’t get judged. I am also afraid of judgment. I feel invisible to everyone I’ve ever met. I love to sleep because it makes me feel at peace. I get along with people who are older than me and I wish I knew why. I am terrified of change but I want change so badly. I am insecure about my body just like every other teenage girl.

I want people to see a changed me

Keywords: The Twenty Year Old

I want people to tell me ‘You’ve changed’”. And that’s what’s happening right now. Been hearing, “Peace, you’ve changed!” Yeah, that’s one goal smashed right there.

I have started to live in the world as no one other than myself

Keywords: Destinations

I don’t know what I’m doing with my life. I’m just winging it and making it all up as I go along, but I’d rather be happy, authentic, and live my truth than be fake and pretend I have it all figured out.
