August 2016 – Daily Mantras – 13

Here’s today’s mantra:

Another core desired feeling: be true to me. I want to be me. Unabashedly.

I have so many issues around this one. So many wounds. So many voices in my head that tell me there’s something wrong with who I am and that I should aim to change: the way i look, the way i talk, the way i behave. Change everything if I want to be loved.

And yet, there’s a strong pull inside me to be me. I feel like even though I feel bad about it constantly, I still always choose to be me. I don’t want to give up being me.

So instead of fighting it, i just want to own it. Step into being me. Not just be ok but be totally happy to be me. Thrive as me.

I want to choose me.
