There are so many sayings that talk about speaking kind words to others because everyone is facing some sort of battle, or something to that same effect. I think what some of us fail to realize, is that words spoken harshly to other do hurt, but so do the words we speak to ourselves.
In a world filled with people who will pick on someone for the stupidest things, uplifting others is something that is necessary on a daily basis. Think about your day today. How many times did you tell someone something kind? How many times did you read a post on Facebook from a friend that seemed a little down, and you posted something uplifting, hoping to brighten their day? How many times do you say thank you, open a door for someone, smile at someone, or simply just say hello to a stranger that someone else might not have noticed? I'm sure you do it more often than you think. But what about you? How many times have you looked in the mirror today, and said something uplifting to yourself? Told yourself you are beautiful? Mentioned that your hair looks particularly good today, or that shade of lipstick is awesome on you, or notice your arms getting slimmer? I bet that one is harder to do, right? Why?
The words we speak to ourselves, whether they are verbally spoken, or stay nestled in our minds just brewing, are just as harmful and hurtful as if we were to say them to someone else. But we stop and think before we say it to someone else. Why can we not use that filter on ourselves? We are worthy of those kind words, too.
You are beautiful. You are handsome. You are kind. You are loving. You are an amazing human being in this world filled with chaos and hat. You are someone special. Don't let yourself believe otherwise. <3 p="">
