Let’s take a little “Day Break” Sometimes I think we tend to take life to seriously. Life was intended to be a joy. Remember back when we were kids…the only thing we had to worry about was what we were going to play and who was going to play with us. What happened to those times? It’s a shame that when we grow up we stop playing.

Life is too short to be so serious all the time, if you want to be truly happy you have to take some time out of your day to do something you consider “fun”  and it doesn’t matter what that is….it can be anything or even nothing if that’s what you want to do. You just need to take a break from all the “adult” stuff and become a kid (even if in your mind) for just a few minuets. Forget about the bills for a moment, forget about the laundry, it will all still be there when you get back from your little day break….go have a little fun.

Self nurturing is a very important part of keeping your self-esteem intact. You need to take care of you mentally and physically and treat yourself as a worthwhile lovable person because that’s what you are. I know it’s hard to feel worthwhile and lovable when people around you make you feel just the opposite and I know it is so easy to let the things they say and do and the way they treat you influence the way you feel about yourself. We were taught as children to listen to those in authority such as parents, teachers, other adults and sometimes those people were less than supportive and encouraging leaving you to feel less than lovable. I think once we begin to feel worthless we have a tendency to listen to more and more people not just authority figures and we let them dictate our worth.

That is what needs to be stopped. You deserve to feel loved and sometimes you just have to tell the people around you that you are a worthwhile person and that you deserve to be loved.  Let them know how you feel about the way they treat you. Don’t be afraid to tell them and don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Getting help from others is a very important step and sometimes one of the most difficult to help you improve your self-esteem. Ask your friends and family for their support, don’t be afraid to ask for a hug.

Don’t be afraid of change. I heard a quote the other day and it is so true…”If nothing ever changed….there wouldn’t be any butterflies”  Sometimes change is a good thing, just look at the butterfly, they go from a worm, wrap themselves up in a cocoon and eventually emerge a beautiful butterfly. The problem we run into sometimes is we build that cocoon and we don’t give ourselves the chance to turn into that beautiful butterfly.

Come out of your cocoon and become lovable and be everything that God created you to be. God loves you and he wants you to be happy, God created you for greatness in his image. Remember God doesn’t create junk…You are Awesome!
