Just a Reminder When You Feels Like Hating Yourself
Years ago, I wrote an article about self-love in my Line account. Here's what I wrote at that time :
Just a part of an article about self love that we need to read, especially in all this social media generation.
No more comparisons.
We've all done it. Browsed through social media only to see our favorite media personalities in the middle of a photo shoot for their new books, just after they had awesome shopping sprees and right before the post about their engagements. WHAT!? I know it's hard to look at so many positive pics on the Internet, or even in your own life, and know that everyone had bad days. The next time you want to browse the web for reasons to feel bad about yourself, remember that you are perfect just the way you are; being in a pattern of compare and despair only makes you focus on the negative, when there's SO much to be grateful for.
For the rest of the article, you can read it here :
I know we are all struggling with comparing ourselves with others, thank to the social media craze where everyone can post about everything : new clothes, achievements, new lover maybe (?). There's nothing wrong with it, we are all need recognition actually, and social media is one of the easiest way to get those recognition. But, I know sometimes we just got that "I don't like myself and I'm not good enough" mood, and suddenly we just scroll at our Instagram and start comparing ourselves with the social media darling there. At top of our consciousness, I am pretty sure that we know that kind of activity - comparing ourselves to others - are not healthy. We've been told constantly that comparing ourselves with others is not good, for we are all different and have our strengths as we are. But sadly, saying is easier than doing. We know iy's not good, but getting rid of that habit of compare ourselves with others is hard (and I still struggling with that).
I hope that we (and me of course) can learn how to love ourselves unconditionally, please no more self comparison. It's not an instant process, it's a life long ourney because we are the one who will be with ourselves for the rest of our lifes. Who wants to live with grumpy partner who criticize us everytime? No one right? So, who wants to live being self criticizing everytime? I am pretty sure you all know the answer.
So, what's the point of all this long post?
Love yourself
Eventhough its hard, keep practicing everyday. The next day we scrolling thru social media, I hope no more self comparing thingy, just the genuine feeling that "wow you look good and me too"
P.S : I still practicing that too.
Have a nice day!

*The best thing I like about writing besides I can share my thoughts with others is that I can remind and encourage myself when I feel just not right, just like re-reading my post above do.
'Till we meet again!
