This year, I will:

Allow myself to be who I am meant to be.

I will be my authentic, always real self. 

**No permission is needed from those who

don't like me, don't like what I stand for,

and/or think I post/comment/talk too much.

I will let go of:

Negativity, toxic people, and all things that

are not good for me and my general well being.

& Embrace:

all things, thoughts, and people who are on Team Jamie.

 

I will honor my:

true purpose in life.

 

And love my:

true self, flaws, imperfections, depression, and all.

 

I will stand up and share my:

Love and Goodness,

along with my bravery and boldness

with the World.

I will remember this year and all the years to come

that I am truly loved and

I am always enough!

Thank You!

 

One Week Soul Challenge

Positively Positive

One Week Soul Challenge

Dedicate two minutes every morning

this week just to sit.

Close your eyes and breathe.

Breathe deeply in and breathe deeply out.

 Ask yourself how you are feeling,

 listen and be there for yourself for that moment.

Love yourself up.

Imagine white light showering your body

 and insides with love and peace.

Breathe in that white light and exhale it.

Do it while you’re in the shower or while you pee or poop.

I don’t care. Just do it. I challenge you.

So get on it.

Read more on the One Week Soul Challenge...

Christine Gutierrez @ Positively Positive

I am on it!
This will be great for my mental health 
and for my self-worth.
Go Me!!!!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,

 and I am the beholder.

I am beautiful inside and out,

and I will let that beauty shine for all the world to see!

Being an Emotional Trainwreck Sucks...But What Can You Do!

My Life as a Highly Sensitive Soul

...as told in quotes, because sometimes 

they explain things better than I can.

Besides it is like they can read my mind.

“Highly sensitive people are too often

 perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. 

To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, 

it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate.

 It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that 

has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. 

There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. 

Those who are at times described as being a ‘hot mess’ 

or having ‘too many issues’ are the very fabric of what 

keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. 

Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world.” 

- Anthon St. Maarten

I am on the road to self-acceptance.

Even though I long for a break from

 what I feel and just want to be numb

 for a short while I will never

 apologize for who I am.

I will soon be at peace with myself.

I am a work in progress.

And well, yes,I am kind of a hot mess,

 a trainwreck at times

And of course, my depression

 and anxiety are always present,

 lurking in the depths of my mind.

It is an illness I live with everyday.

It has made me who I am today.

I AM ME.

I am the woman who cares way too

much about people who may 

not give a damn about me.

I choose love every time.

My life is always chaotic, and I struggle with daily life,

  especially with my constant need

 to feel every damn thing, yet

I am learning to accept my heightened sensitivity.

Some days it is a gift, other days not so much.

I know that self-acceptance is vital not only

to my well-being but to my future mental health.

Self-acceptance starts will self-love.

I am learning to love myself, flaws and all, 

then everything else will fall into place.

No apologizes, I am who I am.

And No, permission is not needed from others to be myself.

What Does it Mean to Be a Love Ambassador?

"Love Ambassadors are women, girls or men who practice filling themselves up with love in many forms – self-care, self-compassion, self-worth, self-expression, etc – and help share the message and daring practices of self-love with their communities, tribes, families and more."

"You believe in the power of love and you want to be part of sharing the message of love in all of its forms to the world – especially self-love – in a way that inspires people into action. You are in for – in your own unique way – reclaiming the definition of self-love and making loving ourselves a tangible, every day reality for every woman, man and child."--Christine Arylo

To be Glorious

(a self-love poem)

Today, I choose myself

I choose to be the Queen of my own domain.

To name myself as the one who governs my life.

I shall not wait for the approval of others.

I will act on my own behalf and inner knowing.

I choose to listen to this great heart within me.

To honor what it wants, needs and longs for.

I shall no longer allow the sacred parts of myself

to feel worthless, fragmented and isolated.

I choose to take up space in this Universe.

To inhabit this vessel of self, which is my holy temple.

I shall not keep my gifts hidden any longer

or allow fear to keep me from my greatness.

I choose to be as wonderful as I truly am.

To explore just who I might be, after all these years.

I shall not judge myself for where I have not

journeyed yet, or the ways I have been untrue.

I choose to forgive myself and release the old stories

to make space for new stories, legends even, to emerge.

I shall not forsake my dreamings and visionings or allow 

others ideas to crowd my own. I will think my own thoughts.

I choose to fall in love with who I am, as I am, right now.

To embrace the messy and the marvelous within me.

I shall not diminish my light, one day longer. Hear me now.

I release the shadows. Open hands. Open heart. Whoosh.

I choose to see myself, and to be seen by you, too.

To find you and dance with you and let you know I see you.

I choose to see myself as whole, holy, worthy and wildly me.

And Oh! So much more than enough. I choose to be outrageous!

Being glorious is not a default. It is a choice. Hear me now.

Are you ready for this? I am. Today, I choose myself.

I choose to be glorious!
