Self love journal

Today I remind myself that I am not my unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Today I remind myself  that it is a brand new day.

Today I remind myself of my friends who helped me when I needed it.

Today I remind myself of how used to feel about myself in a dad to day basis in the past.

Today I remind myself that I am on the right path, and I believe in the person I am becoming.

Grateful for last year. Grateful for the first five months I spent with no outings, no travel, no shopping, less gym, but more home workouts, more sleep, more insights, more patience. Grateful for the last half 2020,where I traveled a lot, mostly alone  and found it amazing to be the one who is staying in the single room, just watching the sea, or jumping inside and chit-chat with strangers. Grateful for this  simple calm days.

Grateful for winter. Grateful for things that makes me happy about this season, like wearing jackets, sweaters, sweatshirts, ice caps, scarfs. Another thing is going out in a cold weather, and yet be warm. Winter workouts are the best, and hot meals as well. Watching a movie under the blanket. Working in an extreme cold, that your hand is freezing, but you have to do the job. Hiking in winter.

Grateful for my dearest friend M who made me feel understood during our last conversation about morality, beliefs, God. Grateful for feeling that our worlds, on its contrasting appearances, are connected in a profound way.

Grateful for my long loving  relationship with :

復Food. Everyday is a journal to fill with gratitude for all the food we will eat, the grocery stores, the goods it self, the harvesters, the factories, machines, industrial engineering, plates, forks, knifes, spoons, the digestion process, our bodies, our hands, our eyes, our tongues, our arms movement, our noses.

Everyday is new way of expressing my commitment to healthy living through mindful eating, dieting and deliberate exercising. Everyday is a challenge and sometimes struggle to heal from former, and current binge eating circles. Every day holds an  opportunity to learn more about my triggers.

️Clothes.  unhelpful beliefs I had about the importance of the impression of others on how I look. Now, it changed to another helpful ones 

Everyday is  a new way to celebrate how you look in those colors, how your skin  contrast or match with your shirt colors, and how your shirt is in harmony with your soul. Everyday is an opportunity to remember that day I bought this one, and the money I was given to get it. Everyday is an art class where you choose to paint your self with clothes. Everyday is a celebration of the grace of existing, of our appearances. I found it meaningful to take care of my wardrobe, because this is how I celebrate life, by saying thank you, you look good to me and I wanna look good to you.

Flowers. Grateful for the creative design of them, that always captivates me. The awe  started when I was a little , and dad used to take me to school through some streets where leaves blown by the calm early morning wind, this poetic scene never left me.
Now I look at flowers and smile, capture them and then wonder of how they sometimes stand tall, proud, like a breathtaking handmade tower , others feeling remorse and bending over like a ballerina in  Tchaikovsky’s Swan lake final scenes.

Reading. Grateful for learning how to write and read in my early years. Grateful for my teachers, especially the one who left something in me, some of them left  a great impression of how they devoted themselves to their meaningful job, and that was amazing.

Grateful for the books that used to fill my time at a certain period of my life. Grateful for pdfs and other ways that makes me read and learn, like videos or blogs.

Grateful for today, as I am encouraging myself for the things I had the opportunity to start doing.

You are doing a good job at the gym. You are on the right track now. My hard work is paying off.

Now you have figured out what it is like  to be aware of your imperfections, so you are learning a lot.
