Let the Reflection Help You

I remember thinking to myself, 'Just go look at yourself and say something positive.'

The four-eyed woman, lightly freckled, big nose geek was looking at herself in the mirror.

Allowing herself to pay attention to the likes of herself, only saying the positive.

"You can do it. You can work a job you hate, and workout repeatedly throughout the week."

Did my words really have power? Yes, yes they did.

I am beautifully made, only trying to make myself a little bit stronger mentally and emotionally.

Days would pass without me looking at myself and then the depression would roll in, the massive self-hate would begin.

"Yuri, it's okay. You're going to be just fine."

For some odd reason, this helped me realize more about myself. I AM capable of anything I put my mind to, and when I see myself speaking positivity, my actions reap the healthy benefits.

Let the reflection help you.
