I Want to Accept Myself

An Experiment

By: FeelingCrazy
Written on October 30th, 2007
I guess if I liked myself and could be who I wanted to be in my mind it would be alot easier to accept myself. The fact is, I just don't. Rarely, I have a day or even two that I reflect on myself and realize that I'm really not that bad. It doesn't happen often because most of the time I feel guilty for who I am not. I can't meet my own expectations. Pitiful ... But! I'm going to try. I'm going to try and list something each day that is good about who I am, and am not. It's a start .. we'll see.

    I haven't made that list; I've tried to be more positive, but when I make a mistake the events leading up to and beyond seem to take over my thoughts for too long a period. I guess I can only say that there has been slight improvement. I really need to work on that list :D

    Great idea about the list. Be sure you read it or tell yourself in the mirror your good points too!
