Heal Thyself

      We can be our own worst critic by overly judging ourselves. The endless cycle of criticism and negative thoughts about ourselves can get us down. It can lead us to depression and self isolation. We feel that others are judging us and it makes us not want to be around them. Our negative outlook can make us believe in a false reality that we will never feel good and that people will never like us. This false reality that we create in our mind becomes in a way our prison, a prison that we need to escape from and not continuing to enlarge it. It is why I say to you and to me, heal thyself.
     There is something that is hurting within you. Your inner self is being neglected and you have to nourish it back to health. If you hate yourself where will the healing come from if it isn't coming from you? Our healing must begin with ourselves. We sometimes must force ourselves to move forward.
     We must say to our hurting neglected soul, "Forgive me for not not loving you. Forgive me of not treating you better. Forgive me of believing in the lies that were within my mind telling me that you do not matter. I do feel you hurting and I want to understand why? I will listen and do the right thing to make you feel better. I will try to feel less sorry for myself and give you more of my time. I will love you with all of my heart so that you can feel it inside. We can grow closer together and be that person we want to be."
    Heal thyself, love thyself and be happy with yourself. Yourself needs your help and your love. 

Proverbs 10:12 "Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs."
