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.

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...

We may have to do this again

Good day, my love bugs. What if I told you that healing is not linear? What if I told you that there is not one big jackpot at the end? What if I told you that just as unpredictable as life is, so is healing? There are no incentives in the healing journey just reflection. At times healing feels like regression and can feel like a cycle of feeling immense contentment and hopelessness. So will the journey ever come to an end? I am still figuring it out but here are some tips about the healing journey you want to know. You are not better than anyone because you embarked on a healing journey. There is a sense of superiority that ‘pop psychology’ can give you which is going to be the downfall of mental health awareness. You should by all means share your good experiences with other people and even encourage people to embark on their healing journeys. However, you do not get to tell anyone that they are less than you or even look down on someone who is not on the same journey as you. Our jou...

The Overthinker Society

This post is for the people who have to make it. This is for the people who are grateful for their blessings but feel tired, conflicted, confused, and overworked. I decided to talk about overthinking because I am an overthinker. I actually do not struggle with overthinking I do very well with it. I have been overthinking about this post. I have been overthinking my writing and my whole life in general and I know I am not the only one who does this. I have been facing sleeplessness this past two weeks and I read on PharmEasy that overthinking disrupts sleep. I have been more stressed than ever and now I struggle with getting a good night’s rest. This is because your body does not allow you to sleep when your mind is not at peace. Ruminating on almost everything and worrying constantly about things over which you have little or no control often lead to fewer hours of sleep. We are our own worst critics, overthinking is often a result who having been continuously disappointed in the pa...
