Last night I prayed about what it is I need to do to get to the next step with confidence. The answer came – let yourself be as awesome as you are. Don’t worry about what you think you should be.
First off let yourself be as awesome as you are. I know I don’t really see myself as I am. I see all of my faults, all of the things that I do wrong, the things I could do better. However, I am a child of God. I am so much more than I give myself credit for. I am so much more than I can even imagine.
How do I let myself be awesome? By controlling my thoughts. I know I have talked about thoughts before but they are so important. How many times do you look in the mirror and start ripping yourself apart? I know that when I look in the mirror I start picking apart everything I see. I have even noticed that often I just glance in the mirror. I don’t really look at myself; I don’t want to see me.
I think Heavenly Father was trying to tell me that I really need to look at myself. I need to stop putting restrictions on myself. I tell myself so often that I can’t do something before I even try. Pay attention to your thoughts and remind yourself you are more amazing than you believe.
Second, is to stop worrying about what you should be. Shoulds are another thing I have written about. So often when I start something I think I should be better than I am. I should be able to do everything perfectly. Should, should, should. All shoulds do is make me feel worse about myself. Just let them go.
I am who I am now and I don’t have to worry about what I should be. Because Heavenly Father is happy with me right now. Let everything else go!
Day 28 – Believe in who you really are, let all the rest go!
