In Appreciation of Myself
Today, I would like to appreciate myselfI appreciate the recognition of the fact that others do not always voice what is important to me.
Today, I appreciate my limitations:
I may not have the time, energy, or the will to conquor today, but tomorrow is another day.
I am not able to live up to other's expectations today, but today I know it's okay not to.
Today, I appreciate my boundaries:
I am willing to tell others when things are not okay with me and when I choose not to do what they demand of me.
I can decide to remove my presence from others when I feel they are encroaching upon my well being.
Today, I appreciate my courage:
I am facing the pain of my past with the sword of courage and fighting all the negative messages that have held me captive for a thousand years.
I am slowly taking off my mask and allowing others, as well as myself, to know me and understand the real me.
Today, I appreciate my strength:
I have been strong to survive and face each day but I have been stronger to face the shadows of my past.
Today, I appreciate my forgiveness:
I have been angry with some people in my past, but now, through understanding, I have forgiven them.
I have forgiven myself for not living up to my expectations, others expectations, and for just being who I am today.
Today, I appreciate my failures:
Even my failures contribute to my growth and strength.
When I fall down, I rise stronger than before.
Today, I appreciate me.
