Talk About It Tuesday!! **Long, Transparent Post**
Anyone who knows me knows that I can at times be highly self-critical. I tend to talk myself out of things because of my limiting beliefs. I told y’all what those are! I used to feel that I wasn’t pretty enough, smart enough, skinny enough, anointed enough, talented enough etc. You name it, I thought it. At one point, it didn’t matter what God, my family, or my friends said about me any compliment I was given fell on deaf ears. No one knows how much I struggled with low self-esteem. This is why therapy is important because a lot of our surface issues are rooted in issues we haven’t addressed.
To make a long story short, in January I went on a journey with my Heavenly Father and it changed me for the better. Although I still struggle at times, partnering with God AND my therapist has allowed me to reframe my thinking aka I was transformed by the renewing of my mind! I began to pray that God would allow me to see myself the way He sees me, flaws and all! He did just what I asked Him to do. However, it wasn’t just about looks. I am not just what you see, God has placed so many things within me that I refuse to allow limiting beliefs to continue to suffocate!
The picture below means so much to me because I didn’t really like to take pictures and if I did I preferred to fade to the back. I’ve missed so many opportunities to make memories because I didn’t want to be in a picture. Now look at me taking full body photos! So let me encourage you change your stinking thinking ❤️. Learn to see yourself the way God intended! Don’t let your limiting beliefs hold you back, the world deserves your most authentic self!!
