Reflections


When I think of the word "reflection", there are a few things that come to mind. 

I think of the reflection of myself in the mirror, and what I see in that reflection.  Do I like what I see?  Do I need to make some changes?  Am I working toward liking, or loving myself more, every day?  I hope that when you look in the mirror, you see someone that you love, or that you are learning to love.  I hope you see someone that is beautiful, inside and out.

I also think of nature, and the reflections in the water.  I see them as a thing of beauty.  For every step you take, the reflection may change a little bit, but it is still beautiful.  Maybe we should tie these two concepts together in our thought process.  Every reflection is beautiful.  We are beautiful!

I also think about time for personal reflection.  Each of us should take time to reflect on ourselves; the person we used to be; the person that we currently are; and, the person that we are working on becoming.  We should reflect upon the paths that we have chosen, and if they are the right path for us.  We should reflect on how far we have come, and be proud of that.  It's not necessary to think about how far we still have to go.  You are on the right path, and you will get there!

We should also reflect on the fact that we are not alone.  We each have our own support systems - our families and our friends.

Look at your reflection in the mirror.  Look at the reflections in nature.  Mostly, take time to reflect about yourself, your journey and your path!

Why Do You Want Me To Fail?

What happens when your significant other doesn't support you in your journey?  What happens when their words and actions hurt?  What happens when you feel like your friends don't support you, and want you to fail?  Do you think about quitting because it is just easier than dealing with the hurt, and lack of support?    What is wrong with people?  Friends and significant others are supposed to love you and support you, so why don't they?  People in general, (not all people, but many) are mean, selfish, and belittling to others.  They want to bring others down, and they work hard at doing this.  It makes some people feel bigger to bring others down.  When you are in this situation, it is hard to see.  The problem is not you!  The problem is them!  Some people are just miserable in their own lives, and they try to reflect it on other people, when they should be taking a good look at themselves...

Negative v. Postive Self-Talk and Self-Esteem

Before I get into stories, and my point of view on this topic, I have a confession.  I am a work-in-progress when it comes to this.  Knowing, and practicing, are two very different things.  It takes personal growth, and I believe that I am slowly, but surely getting there. I believe that the majority of people are unhappy with themselves, for one reason for another.  We may feel fat, ugly, incompetent, lazy, or have any other of a million different ways.  I believe that we all can relate to some, or many of these feelings. My story is that I did look at myself in the mirror, and I saw myself as fat, ugly, and sometimes, pretty much worthless.  Sometimes I saw a total failure in that mirror.  When I would talk to myself, and to others, I would call myself those things, but also referred to myself as a fat cow, a hippo, a moose, or a manatee (a sea cow).  How's that for hating yourself and being negative?  How this affected my self-est...

I'm Just Not Feeling It Today

I'm just not feeling it today.  The alarm clock goes off, and you don't want to get up.  You force yourself to get out of bed, but you just want to crawl back in.  You see yourself in the mirror, bed-head and all, and you think to yourself that it just takes way too much effort to get in the shower, to get dressed, to brush your hair, etc.  You decide it all can wait.  You make your way to the couch, and turn on the TV.   In the back of your mind, you may be thinking that you need to get up and exercise.  Maybe you need to do laundry, or go to the store.  You quickly push those thoughts aside.  The next thing you know, you have binge-watched 5 hours of Netflix, maybe even mindlessly eating.  You are suffering from a serious lack of motivation. Have this ever been you?  I'm guilty.  I've had days like this where my fitness tracker didn't track over 500 steps for the whole da...
