#advicetomyself - Week 1

ONE.

Accept the “bad” part of yourself, and forgive it daily.

It's so easy for you to look down on yourself
To zoom in microscopically on the details of your flaws. 
Dissecting each part with the eyes of a perfectionist.
Never accepting 
that what is now, is perfect.
It's like picking at a scab,
picking and scratching and picking
5 minutes pass 
You're still picking, 
wanting the wound to just heal up already
10 minutes pass
and all you've done is sabotaged 
& side tracked the healing 
process and speed.
Rewind 15 minutes.
Pause 
at the instant 
you remembered the scab.
the moment you noticed it.
This time
Look at it, observe
note it's healing progress
Breathe in and accept it 
where it's at
exactly how it looks 
& exactly how it feels
keep tabs
accept your scabs
& trust their healing process.

Be sure to really look at them
Avoid covering them up too often
Accidentally hiding them from yourself
take off the bandaid
Let air into your wound 
To facilitate the healing process.
