Learn to love yourself, learn to appreciate yourself

I'm sure that all of us have ever complimented others, but have you ever complimented yourself? If yes, when was the last time you did it?

Have you complimented yourself today?

Self Complimenting or self appreciation is essential. An author said that appreciating ourselves is one of the best treatment that we can give to ourselves. We don't have to wait for a big day or big achievement to compliment ourselves. We can start from the very little things that we have done. We can compliment ourselves for being able to forgive someone, to let go of things we have been holding on to, to give up something, and other things. And today, I DECIDE TO APPRECIATE MYSELF. My friends say that I am someone who, most of the times, speaks up my mind whether I am happy, angry, sad and upset. But, actually, there were so many times that I didn't able to speak up the thing that really important to me. I just said it on my head over and over, and so many times, regretted it. I regretted that I didn't have courage to say sorry or to say that I was upset. Yeah, I have so many regret about not being able to speak up.

These past weeks, something have weighed on my mind. I've tried to brush it off, but it kept bothering me. This thing actually have weighed on my mind last year, but I ignored it. Thinking that it was not necessary and I would forget it in time. Yeah, I did forget it. I did able to continue my days without thinking about it. But, I don't know why, this thing came again and kept pestering me. Why now? After all this time, after the long peaceful days. It's been a long time. Then, again, I didn't want to add another thing to my regret list. After some thoughts and prayers, I decided to speak up my mind.

And, I DID IT. I SPOKE OUT my mind honestly and properly. I look up at those eyes and said the words without trembling or stuttering. To be honest, I was quite taken aback with myself though. How could I be so brave? Maybe because I did it at HIS house right after Sunday service?? Hahahaha...... Nevertheless, I did a great job today. The thing that have been weighed on my mind lifted up right away. I finally feel so relieve now. That's why I decided to appreciate myself, to compliment myself for being so courageous and brave to said that important thing. I didn't say it impulsively. I said it after thinking and considering no matter what the response would be. Thank you for listening and responding in good way. I really appreciated it. It's my first time and a historical day for me. That's why I decided to write about this on my blog after hiatus for quite a long time.

By the way, If you need some courage, you can listen to this song. It's one of my favorites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUQsqBqxoR4
