Who you gonna be honest with?

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of self reflection and from that, a few positive and negative things were revealed about myself. Guys self reflection is a must, believe me. And it’s important to know how to heal from the truth we are about to tell ourselves because it really will hurt.

But first lets begin with the positive revelations. With these, I was like yes! Go me. So, I started to ponder on ways to improve and actively work on those skills. Yes, obviously as humans we can get lazy and the spirit of procrastination can creep up at us, but most importantly don’t forget/sleep on your dreams and the positive things about yourself. 
​
Now, with the negatives, I’ll tell you the truth. I went through a phase of self hate, it was horrible and it took me a while to get over it but I'm healing. In the process a thought came through my mind: how can I actively improve/remove these negative things. Basically let’s turn this into something positive. 

The message is to be honest with yourself but don’t let the honesty reflect badly on you. The beauty of it is you fall down but you have to get back up. I would suggest you:

• write down your weaknesses and strengths,
• speak to someone you trust,
• don't allow the 'that's just how I am' thought creep up on you,
• remember this is a process so if you find yourself displaying your negative traits, whether it be in your mind/physically (this is me most days) - stop yourself, calm down and regroup,
• be confident in your strengths and do not allow anyone (not even yourself) to sabotage that.
