Stop Focusing on Your “Flaws” and Let Your Light Shine Bright

“Vulnerability is about having the courage to show up and be seen.” ~Brene Brown

When I was twenty-seven someone told me I had old looking skin.

Up until I heard this comment, I had never given much thought to my skin. Ever since, however, it’s been the only thing I see when I look in the mirror.

Lately, I have been diving deeper into the inner areas of my life that still need further integration. Making themselves most apparent as top priorities are self-love and acceptance.

A good friend recently told me that she has started to look at herself in the mirror every day and say “I love you,” and really mean it.

She said when she first started this exercise, all she could see was the line that was between her eyebrows. Her one flaw.

Before my friend mentioned this line in her face, I had never really noticed it.

My friend has big, beautiful, blue eyes, and those are all I see every time I talk to her.

This conversation was quite eye opening. It made me admit that I do the same thing.

The only things I see in the mirror are the lines in my face, and I think, “maybe I need to get a facelift.”

I am committed…
