Come on, I dare you.

Do you say “yes” because you fear being disliked? Have you ever stayed in a relationship you don’t want to be in because you fear being alone? Have you ever stayed at job you hated because you just couldn’t imagine starting over? Do you massively procrastinate? Have you ever committed to something, only to end … Continue reading »

I’m broken and I need someone to fix me and make me whole again.

Waiting for someone else to fix you is the quickest way towards both misery and failure. If someone becomes your only source of security, safety or love, once they’re gone, they’ll be taking it with them. Stop blaming others for what you have or don’t have, or for what you feel or don’t feel. Stop … Continue reading »

How can anyone love me?

We pretend, don’t we? We put up a fantastic front. We make believe that everything is ok. We want people to think that we are “normal”. But what lies beneath the surface is a person fraught with shame, insecurities, self-doubt, anxieties and fear. Being able to love ourselves can prove to be a nearly impossible … Continue reading »

Don’t forget…

Darling, Open your eyes. You are not made up of those words that hurt you. Or that number on the scale. Or the expectations that you feel you will never meet. You are made up of nothing more than you. Simply, beautifully, wonderfully, uniquely you. You are a lovely and complex soul. An individually fascinating … Continue reading »

How you treat yourself is how you are inviting the world to treat you.

What you believe about yourself matters.

If you don’t believe you are worthy of good things, you will act accordingly. For instance, if you believe you are not worthy of love, you will act as though you are unworthy of it; seeking out people who treat you in a manner that is less than you deserve. If you believe you are … Continue reading »

Self-hate is a dangerous problem.

At the heart of self-hate are feelings of deep unworthiness. Self-hate hides itself well by concealing its overpowering and intrusive nature. Meanwhile, it ruins most relationships. In order to hide the real feelings of hating ourselves, we end up playing things out in reality in some way. For instance, if I feel hatred towards myself, … Continue reading »

Why don’t you trust yourself?

We, as humans, make mistakes. So, there are things… things we do or don’t do, things we say or don’t say, relationships that go horribly wrong… all of which yield bad results or perceived bad results. When the emotional trauma from one or more bad decisions begins to erode our self-esteem, we often become afraid … Continue reading »
