OK, what's so bad about you? Are you really that worthless? Are you
really so fat and ugly? Do you really deserve the harsh judgment and
low self-esteem you throw on yourself? Is your life really that
difficult? Or are your standards unrealistic or impossible?
Take a break from all the negativity and stress, and tell yourself that
you're OK. Be satisfied with what you've got, and how good you actually
have it. See the bright side of yourself for a change, instead of
constant self-assassination.
Get simple. Take things slowly...do what you can...give yourself a
little love, appreciation and respect today...and every day!
See what's good about yourself for a change. At the same time, be
realistic about what needs improving right away, and only do that. Make
changes in little increments, not life-stopping emergency interventions
all the time (like dieting).
First and foremost, thank God what what you have today... right now.
Let's hear your comment about what's good a right about you -- and what blessings God bestowed on YOU.

Dr.Chumley,
I am so glad that you have brought this subject up. I know lots of people who do not see all the blessings God has bestowed on them. Nor do they look for them. It is so easy to find the negative, than it is to find the positive.
I urge all of us to be truly Happy with what we have, and recognize the blessings we have everyday !!! God is among all of them ..:)
Blessings To all !!!

Thank you much for this today! I am so thankful for my health, strength and my children. I am beautiful, blessed and thankful for everything. I must remember to be thankful in all things and not negative about me or my life.
I am not worthless to my family, or to my boss.
God has been good to me in so many ways. I am so thankful for my family, and for my health being as good as it is, considering how I have treated myself for so many years.
You are so right about this I am one of the many people who is guilty of doing this and I did just take a moment to thank God for all the good in my life. And you know what I never realized I have some much to be thankful for. So thanks be to my almighty father and thanks ever so much to you Dr. Norris for putting this out there.
I needed this. I just recently made a list of goals and that's one thing that is on my list. Basically the whole list comes down to telling myself that I'm ok and giving thanks for what I have, not what I don't have. This is hard work but it is well worth it.
