And Gosh Darn It, I Like Myself!

Do you remember the old Saturday Night Live skit? It was pretty funny, but it left a lot of people thinking that liking yourself (Gosh Darnit) was for the goofy and lame.

I tend to get down on myself sometimes, but then I realize that I'm okay. Claudia Jean, the Queen of Self Esteem sends me an email each week called Poz Bod Talk (as in, positive body talk). One thing that struck me this week was being kind to yourself for thinking that you are anything less than glorious. So I did what she said and I posted a sticky on my computer that says, "I forgive you." When I start to criticize myself in body or mind, I look up at that sticky and say, "Sugar, I forgive you... you sweet thing, you!"

So if you've been hard on yourself anytime in the last few weeks, days, or possibly hours, say, "I forgive you." To fill that void, why don't you pick a part... a part of yourself that is the best of you. There's a poll to the side with some positive attributes. You likely have more than one, but for the sake of the poll, what's your best-best?

Any sage words for the rest of us? Post a comment below.

And have a MAGNIFICENT day!
