You Are Enough

Today is the first day of Lent, and, I'm not Catholic, so, I've never done the whole Lent thing, but, I think that the idea of giving something up is good (and I don't mean to offend those by my lack of knowledge, which is why I tried to stay on the surface level of Lent). Although, let's be honest, me attempting to give up sugar would end badly for all involved. Ditto for the DC.

A lot of people seem to be "adding" things into their 40 days rather than eliminating. Again, this is something I've never done, but, the idea of working on something good can't hurt, right?

So, last night while I was all hopped up on Diet Coke (y'all, I went for a run with TPG and all through the run I kept saying "I want a Coke!" and I REALLY tried to get home without one, but, I knew I was craving it so I needed it. A Coke at 9PM does not end well for me), I was thinking of what maybe I could add.

My homegirl, Sierra Boggess is a huge believer in affirmations and I love reading her Twitter account because she always has something positive to post. Which, in this day and age is amazing. She's super inspiring.

ANYWAYS.

I'm thinking that I'm going to start affirmations for myself. As someone who struggles with self esteem (thanks, parents!) I know I could use some daily uplifting! Couldn't we all use a little self support every day?

So, today we shall start our first affirmation.

You are enough.

That will be my mantra for today.

I'm going to try and post a different mantra/affirmation on my twitter (@shabbyprincess) daily to help us all remember to love ourselves.

So, let's strap on our happy faces and get living. We got this!

(and yes, I totally realize that this is probably a little hippie dippy coming from me, but, I'm a closet hippie dippy under my super conservative and prude-ish exterior. I'm from California after all)
