It helps me just to say it to my mental self, just to tell myself it's okay and I love you and I won't leave you. That's God word to me and that's my word to me, to my mind. My real self is spirit and my real self talks to my mind and calms it down.
"I said to myself, "Relax, because the Lord takes care of you."
Psalm 116:7 (NCV)
Let's have a confession time and love on ourselves: "I am more than my thoughts and feelings. I am spirit and one with God's Spirit. I am whole and eternally okay. And I can love myself, my mind-and-emotion self, the one that thinks and feels and goofs up. And I can just let that little one just BE, let her make mistakes, rant and rave, cry and howl or laugh and dance, let her live. She won't ever 'act perfectly' or 'think perfectly' as long as she exists in this world with her set of memories, past experiences, and outside influences. But that is okay. I know God is taking care of that little one. I accept that little one. I embrace that little one. I am okay with me."
A Thought: I embrace all parts of me, even the messy parts, because all parts of me are wild, beautiful and beloved.
