So this week I have been down with a virus or a flu, some God awful thing that rendered me in extreme amount of pain and then exhaustion. During this week, that seemed like it wouldn't end, I started going back to feeling crappy about myself, which I hate, hate, hate! 99.9% of the time I love my being and my body. I know it's cheesy to say, but I like to celebrate who I am. But ugh, this week I was gross, and felt disgusting. I know I come on here and talk about loving yourself, and I stand by that 100%, but to tell anyone who is reading this, that I NEVER feel bad about my looks, or who I am is a lie. Everyone feels crummy about themselves sometimes. But it's getting back in the game, of being confident in who you are, is EXTREMELY important. I felt shitty about my looks, my life, and a gazillion other things that woman can come up with in our brains that never stop in one week, and I hated it. It didn't make me feel anything but ugly and gross. I'd much rather be in my usual state, of a woman who loves herself, that doesn't believe in flaws, because everything I am, everything I do, has a purpose, and it should be embraced, not shunned.
So if like me, you are feeling grey and cloudy, with no sign of sunshine, take sometime, and do something that makes you smile. Last night I snuggled down in my bed and put on one of my favorite shows "The Vicar of Dibley" and I felt my anxiety lower with each smile. I love laughing, and for me, laughing is the best way to get me out of my funk. So whatever you like doing, laughing, crafting, reading, walking, whatever makes you happy, do it! Because feeling good, man... it's so much better than feeling awful (I know, duh, but still, it's a simple thing, but it makes a world of difference.)
