Are You Able to See the Fruits of Your Labor? By Kimberly Guillot Thibeaux
Do you ever feel like you are working so hard at becoming a better version of yourself but yet you are unable to see the results? Are you experiencing loved ones giving you compliments like “You look happier and refreshed!” You attempt to believe them but when you look in the mirror of your life all you see is the same old you? You’ve exerted all this energy into creating a better life for yourself, but yet your self-talk and your self-image are stuck in the past. Once you create a new way of being it is important to let go of how you viewed yourself before you made lifestyle changes. Those positive patterns were embodied because you actually made different choices, but it is also therapeutic to embody the new lens in which you see yourself. This phenomenon can create more suffering even if you have created a better version of yourself. Awareness is key. Becoming aware of the persistent old self-image gifts you the opportunity to choose differently. The other side of the coin could possibly be filled with a more loving self-image and compassionate self-talk. Who doesn’t want more of that?! In short, whenever you are releasing the old patterns and negative habits, you have to remember to replace your vision of yourself as well. Ask yourself, “Is my self-talk & self-image helping me grow or hindering my progress?” For individualized support: kurmaholistics.net 337-534-0111
