"Loving The Skin I am In"
God's Love
God loves us unconditionally, to love unconditionally means without limitations. When God look at us he doesn't judge us based on our size, shape, gender, race or social class. Whatever our differences are God see beyond these things. We are beautifully made in his image and we are loved.
Self-Love
Let's be honest!
We can be our own worst enemy when it comes to self-love. Perhaps, we have all been guilty of wanting to look like the models we see in the magazines.There is certainly nothing wrong with having health goals and wanting to look your best, I too have health goals. However, we get into unhealthy territory when we start to compare ourselves to others. I am content and comfortable in knowing that I can love myself while striving to reach my health goals. Most of the time, we do not battle with external issues as much as we battle with internal issues when it comes to self-image. The internal battles that we face can sometimes affect our self-image the most, because whatever we believe or think about ourselves will determine how we treat ourselves.This is not to say that we are unaffected by external influences, external influences are every where and unavoidable. Television, magazines etc... the world is constantly telling us what we should look like. If we live in a environment that does not celebrate us, then perhaps it's up to us to create an environment to celebrate ourselves.It's fair to say that both external and internal influences affect the way we see ourselves. Whatever the case maybe, we are all beautiful, unique and loved.Each of us have something special about us that cannot be duplicated by anyone else. Why should we want to be like someone else, when we have our own special gifts? We are beautiful in our own way, we are not a like, we are not the same but we are all special.
Self-Love Challenge
I would like to propose a "self-love challenge" that I too will take part in. Please do not feel pressured into taking part of this challenge. THIS IS A PRESSURE FREE ZONE!!!
For those of you who would like to take part in the challenge here it is:
I challenge you to look in the mirror and say one thing that you love about yourself. For example: I love my __________ (fill in the blank). I challenge you to do this once a day for 2 days, if you like this challenge and it works for you feel free to add it to your daily routine.
I pray that everyone will feel beautiful and feel loved everyday. As always wishing you good health and happiness.
