~ SELF-ESTEEM ~

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~

"No one can make you feel inferior

without your consent."

Eleanor Roosevelt

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~


I always used to feel "less than"

everyone else, so I’d eat and feel even

worse.

Without true love for myself I was dead

in the water. I would compare the facts

I knew about myself against the

impression I had of you. I never seemed

to measure up. Without self-love, I was

unable to ask for, expect or accept love

from others.

When I love myself and treat myself

lovingly, it Doesn’t matter what others

think of me; what matters is that I do

not think less of myself.


ONE DAY AT A TIME ...


I ask my Higher Power to show me little


ways to act lovingly toward myself and


to know deep within that I am worthy of


being loved by others.
