needed this today

i've been pretty hard on myself lately.  i'm not used to all the positive attention i'm getting from M.  i feel like i don't deserve it.  it's all part of that learning to love myself.  in fact, i started to pull away from M because i wasn't happy with me.  see, i can't pull away from myself, but i can totally push him away.

well a friend posted this on facebook today:

"You have been criticizing yourself for years, and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens." -Louise L. Hay

it is so true!  i'm not getting anywhere telling myself how terrible i am.  i should tell myself how good i am. i need to realize that i am special and important, and that M is treating me like a princess because i deserve it.
