This week so many people are focused on trying to give and receive love because of the holiday coming up.
The problem is, this is one of the hardest times of the year for some people because of unmet expectations. But it is also excruciating for some, because it is really difficult to give love to other people when you don't love yourself. Expectations will always leave you feeling unsatisfied and irritated.
There is so much Shame in this world, we all get so under the bondage of feeling like we will never be accepted, never be loved, we are never good enough, we can't say or do anything right. We hear that voice over and over again, then accept it as the truth.. But is it? Did you know that a large number of people feel this way about themselves? Even people that you would never guess. Some are just very good at hiding it. You are not alone!
But you can do something about it! Tell the shame to take a hike, have someone pray over your broken heart where you've believed a lie. Realize that you don't have to keep this to yourself. Tell someone you trust that you feel this way. They will tell you it isn't true. You are loved and amazing. You are gifted and talented. You can do far more than you've ever given yourself credit for!
Here is a roller-ball recipe you can make for yourself when you are struggling to recognize the good in you.
Choose 3 of the following oils, then put 5-6 drops of each in a roller ball and fill up the rest with V-6 (or another carrier oil).
Roll it on your wrists and neck when you want to kick self-hate in the pants. When you roll this on yourself and breathe it in, make sure to say something like this, "I am enough, I am loved, I am accepted" or a Bible verse, or anything you'd like that confirms a good change of mindset.
Frankincense, Geranium, Lavender, Patchouli, Roman Chamomile, or Ylang Ylang
