Water Yourself

Thoughts may swirl through the air sometimes that turn your usual upward smiley face into a frown. It doesn’t take a monstrous blaze to notice the embers of doubt coming to fire it’s flames. The truth about you creeps along even when doubt tries to prowl into your system. Don’t get burned; water yourself.

You do not have to frantically search outside for validation. Every exasperating experience does not mean that you have to once again be etched with worry. Resilience usually screams out its sweet words to you and its voice is noticeable because it will start to shower you with good thoughts about who you are. Let that overwhelming sense of love wash over you and soothe what feels lost.

You know who you are. Keeping your mind leveled on the truth easily fixes, soothes and solves. Don’t let lies about your character ruin your delightful heart. You don’t have to yell curses or get angry. You don’t have to let your faith collapse. You do not have to walk around feeling depressed or defeated. Don’t go let out your frustrations on your social media page. There are better ways to handle your situations. Don’t stay thinking that what you are going through is just another sad love song. This is real life.

Instead, find an alternate route. Reach for a pen and a notebook and let the lines be your shoulder to cry on while sitting in a cradle of quietness. Sometimes it takes emptying out what is bottled up inside so you could meet the quiet of your mind; like meditation but only, using writing as the vehicle.

Use your own eyes and heart as your audience and respond to your own situation. How could you have handled it differently? Feedback? What is the next step? How do I move in a better way? What can I learn from all of this?

But while writing, don’t simply stay hyper-focused on the problems, the he say, she says, or the dilemmas. Don’t forget to acknowledge the good things that happened in your life. Root yourself on for standing in resilience. Let out a high-pitched giggle for the things that felt good along the way. You persevered through it all. Remember that! 

Keep creating your own dusts of joy and let it sink in. Keep reaching for the sky and rise up to keep meeting the you that makes you smile.

Know yourself. Love yourself. Honor yourself. Trust yourself. Respect yourself. Like yourself. Acknowledge yourself. Celebrate yourself. Give yourself grace. Germinate.
