Becoming Her:Self-Acceptance

Happy New Year my love bugs.

We are all on a journey with different people and different paths. Let us Become Her.

The theme for this year is self-acceptance and here is why. Last year our focus was self-love but there really is no self-love without self- acceptance. You cannot hate yourself into becoming the person that you want to be. This is starting at the ground level and accepting yourself as you are. I know we are sold many versions of who you should be online but that would be boring. Are you running away from who you truly are? Are you too busy dimming your light?

This theme allows us to laser focus how we think of ourselves and how we speak to ourselves. I did an Instagram post the other day about affirmations you could try to start of in thr new year. On that note please follow @acreatorswrite_ on instagram. I share a lot of what I put on there too and hopefully this year will be the merger for the two.

An important aspect of the theme of self-acceptance is your surrounding. Are the people you are surrounding yourself with allowing you to be the best version of yourself? Do you always have to change your opinion to be accepted by these people? These could be usefull journal prompts for this year.

We also want to touch on the concept of fear. A lot of us are afraid to do what we really want to do. I found out that I am not afraid to fail but more that I am afraid of the success and here is why. I am afraid that I will become successful but I will not be able to make it sustainable. I also enjoy my current reality, it is my comfort zone, it is less anxiety streaking. Maybe you feel the same way too but you could fail so badly and you could also just come out resilient. It is better to sleep knowing that you tried.

Lastly, what I importantly wanted to touch on is that you are already Her. You have everything within you to become the person that you want to be. You just need to be on a journey where you express that side of yourself.

I have no doubt that 2023 is going to be a good year for all us. I want you to affirm it. May the universe and God help you keep the abundance that you are asking for.

Live better not faster

Good day, my love bugs. Who here only knows a state of freeze? You live in a state of constant, worry, stress, and anxiety. Well, join the club. I have been struggling with so much stress and anxiety these past few weeks that it has deeply affected my sleep schedule. It has made me reflect on my habits and my thought patterns. I realized that I am always looking at what needs to be done next or what goal still needs to be achieved while I haven't stayed in what I already have and am grateful about it. It made me think, that we are always moving especially at a rush pace. Where are well rushing to? The meaning of slow living Slow living is a mindset that encourages us to live in a self-aware and more conscious state of being where we make purposeful decisions for the benefit of our well-being. This mindset disregards the notion that being busy equates to being successful or important. Slow living is a part of the wider slow movement which began in the 1980s in Italy. It began as a m...

The smart to average kid pipeline

My inspiration for this post came from a YouTube video titled ' You were a gifted kid 7 years ago. Now what?' by David Achu, I will link it down below. I won't toot my horn but I was a pretty smart kid. I got most of the awards in primary school and early on in high school. Being smart was my brand until fast forward to late high school and varsity. I know I am not the only one who has had this experience so let's take a lot into the dynamic of being a smart kid, overachiever, or even a child genius. You are not smart, you score well. The public school system in South Africa is focused more on feeding information to children rather than teaching students. The teachers are under pressure, schools are overcrowded and resources are limited. So, the system bases which children are bright on who can memorize the most information and who can get the highest scores. I mean scores do matter, APS/GPA matter and it also determines what you study in the future and...

So you want to start therapy...

Good day, my love bugs. I put up an Instagram poll a while back on my wellness page @ acreatorswrite and I asked you guys what is the one thing you want to try or do in 2024. The majority of the response was therapy. As someone who has been in therapy since high school and someone who works in social services, I know that therapy can sound so overwhelming. Let us dismantle some of the myths that are associated with therapy. 1. Every journey starts with acceptance In the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous , the first step is to admit that you have a problem. This is similar to therapy because denial does not take you anywhere with any journey be it a fitness journey or a spiritual journey- you have to admit that there is something you have to address, a truth you are running away from, or an unresolved trauma that you have to deal with in therapy. Acceptance also comes with accountability in therapy you are going to have to own up to everything you ...
