Begin To Love Yourself

Nothing upsets me more than when people doubt themselves and don't believe in themselves because everyone, every single one of you have at least one thing you are good at whether that is giving advise, being there when people need you, art, writing, looking after animals, singing, sport and simply just being you. That one thing might mean little to you and might not even seem like anything but from somebody else's view it could and most likely will mean everything to them. Just because someone has discovered what they're good at and thrive off it doesn't mean you can't do the same you just need to have patience and not just find something you are good at but something that makes you happy. At the end of the day if something doesn't make you happy there is no point wasting your time doing it. 

To believe in yourself you also need to love yourself and i don't mean in a cocky or arrogant way but in a way that you can appreciate and acknowledge what you are good at and the features you like about yourself within your personality and appearance and make sure those positive features outweigh the ones that make you feel insecure. Everyone has their own insecurities no matter how perfect someone else seems in your eyes because someone may thing you look perfect in their eyes and that is why everyone should appreciate and love themselves. 

I hate the fact that it's almost seen as normal for teenagers, especially to hate themselves because we are constantly being shoved in the face by what society deems is perfection through magazines, music videos and other types of media. We should value the things that actually deserve to be valued such as simply being a genuinely nice person, doing spontaneous acts of kindness and someone's intelligence not just how much someone weighs or how pretty they are. 

So to start loving yourself i want you all to write down the things you like about yourself and the things you don't like making sure you are in a positive frame of mind when you do this. Make sure you really are aware and recognise the positive things and there are a lot more positive points than negative because i assure you that you do have more good than bad. 

I'm sorry if this blog post sounded a bit cliche and soppy but it's true and i do mean every word i put into this post. I hope it helps and you really do start believing in yourself, every single person that reads this. 

Thank you for reading :)
