Breaking up with YOURSELF

 

 

 

 

If you're anything like me... I am definitely my worst critic. Our inner critic can be brutal, to the point that it leads us away from our goals and dreams, by preying on our insecurities and making us feel horrible. Some call it your "inner-bitch" and others call it "self".

It's easy for us to notice when someone else it treating us this way but do you even realize when you're treating yourself like this?

Whether it's a relationship with your body, a relationship with how you're feeling, what you're doing, your relationship with food, or WHO you are, it's your relationship with YOURSELF. Sometimes the most dysfunctional relationship is the one between your head and your heart.

My brain is busy, excitable, and creative. Most days this doesn't cause a problem, until I start to over think and over analyze. There are days when it's been so distracting that I had had to tell myself "Shana, seriously calm the f*ck down!!". My overactive brain, destroying my inner self, is my worst enemy.

If you never forgave yourself for that thing you did that one time, you've never told yourself "I love you", you won't commit to yourself, you don't want to be seen with yourself out in public, you sabotage yourself, or you respect other peoples opinions of you over your own.... It might be time to BREAKUP with yourself and BE someone new!

So I'm breaking up with myself....

 I'm breaking up with the excuses that have limited my options and turned my mistakes into failures, into something to hide from and to fear.

I'm breaking up with grudges and criticisms. I will no longer bury the past in the present or whine about things that really don't matter. I'm leaving the past in the past.

I'm breaking up with the fear you cower in. Always hiding from myself, continually anxious about unlikely scenarios.

I'm breaking up with the rumors that you spread inside the chambers of my heart. All of the too fat, too dumb or ugly, too unworthy, and never enough. I'm no longer accepting the lies or listening to the putdowns.

It's over! I'm freeing myself from your misery. I'm kicking you out and inviting something much more beautiful into my life. So take the ring, the promises, the photos and LEAVE. I'm inviting peace, happiness, self love, and awareness into my life. I'm inviting ME.
