Day 8-Build up a strong body image
What do you see when you look at yourself in the mirror? Try describing yourself in one positive word. Are you strong? Wise? Beautiful? Sensitive? Free? Determine what that word is and dissect it. Try writing the word on a piece of paper and then around it write all the uplifting attributes that come from that word. I have made a new promise to myself and to my Lord. I promised to fall completely in love with the woman that I am. Fall in love with my charisma, fall in love with my body, and fall in love with my faults and imperfections. Although I believe this might be a hard feat to accomplish I think we all possess the power to love ourselves. Ah what a noteworthy act of achievement might it be to fully find happiness in who you are as a whole. I not only believe that this will improve our confidence and ability to love, but our relationships as well. How can someone else love you when you do not love yourself in return? Make this day all about the alluring woman that lives inside you. Bring her out in everyway possible today by complimenting yourself and praising your talents. We need this, trust me.
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. –Psalms 139: 13-14
Lord, Today show us what beautiful spirit lives within us. Help us to not be concerned with what are faults are, but only show us how to love and become infatuated with the women we are. Help us to always present grace and mercy to others and ourselves. Teach us to walk beside you standing tall with pride of who we are.
