Take Your Time to Figure it Out
It happens to us all there are just some days that sucks. Some can bounce back relatively quickly, while others may take a bit longer, depending on what they have going on in their lives. Some may need to seek professional help.
This month, we will figure out how to get out of the funk we may find ourselves in. Each week I will have some great tips, quotes for inspiration, and motivation to help you get over that hump.
Yes, sometimes, we may need to set in our mood for a minute, but that does not mean we need to stay there.
What is our inspiration this week?
Self-Appreciation
This should be a part of our journey, which is ever-evolving and moving forward. There should be gratitude for ourselves. We are to celebrate our uniqueness, which is what sets us apart from the rest of the world.
Oh yea! We all have many qualities, traits, and talents to appreciate. Keep reading if you are stuck on how or what to show appreciation for!
Please!
We are all unique, and there are some things that no one else in this world has but YOU. Even if you are an identical twin – God made it so that you are still unique.
Awesome!!!
First, let us state the obvious
https://www.thehealthy.com/bodies/unique-body-parts
At least ten body parts set us apart from everyone else!
Fingerprint
DNA
Iris of our eyes
Lip Print
Tongue
Voice
Toe Print
Teeth
Retina
I am already feeling kind of special – ler.
That is the first new word for the day!
Now for the fun stuff
These are the traits that we posses that is unique!
Our likes
Our Dislikes
Also, Our Life’s Experiences
And Skills
As Well as Our Traits
These are the areas that make you unique and special from everyone else.
Our Life Experiences
I grew up with my siblings, and we had loving and kind parents. From the outside, it looked like we all had the same experiences.
However, when our mother passed away, my siblings and I were sharing childhood memories of our mother and what we remembered her doing and two of us looked at the third sibling and said what household did you grow up under?
Mom never said or did that to us!
We used to call him the golden child. Lol looking back, I realized that our mother was parenting her children not in a cookie mold but in what was unique to each child and their personality.
This is why no two people’s experiences in life will ever be the same. If they both experience the loss, say of a loved one. Their expression of grief and how they process it will be different.
One child may be able to pull themselves together after a couple of months, whereas another sibling may take more time.
Your likes and dislikes are uniquely yours. I enjoy seafood, and I
have grandchildren who cannot stand the smell of it. However, put a plate of wings before them, and they will try to devour them.
One more example, and then I am done – like for real, real. I have
one sibling who can read the small print to any set of directions, rule book, instructions, gather the information, and benefit from it. Me nope, I read the large print glazed over the small print and then asked him what it said.
I have another sibling who is excellent at electronics and can write
programs and the whole nine yards. Not I.
And I know you have noticed the uniqueness in others.
So, What Am I Saying?
My point is to hone in on your uniqueness, how you look, what you wear, your mind, your likes and dislikes, and realize that – that is you.
The you(ness) of you. Yep, another new word we need to add to the dictionary.
The Exercise
Pick three things you like about yourself: are you kind, caring, know how to work well with others, or work well by yourself, take great care of your body, have great legs, have great eyes, are a good mediator, a great listener, hard worker? As you can see, the list can go on and on.
This week, hone in on the three things that make you – you.
If you cannot think of anything (I would find that hard to believe), ask someone close to you what they see.
I would love for you to share with us what sets you apart.
What do you appreciate about you? If you share, I will share now that is fair!
