I frequently get on and off the ‘I’m-a-piece-of-crap’ train. Yesterday, while riding the train all the way to crapville to live a crap filled life, I listened to @amyschumer on @oprah’s @supersoul podcast. She talked about how she was raised to be confident and never gave in to the world telling her she shouldn’t be. And she referenced her new movie @ifeelpretty. So I watched the trailer and all the clips I could find. While talking to Oprah she said that in a moment of doubt about who she was and her body and her self she said, what if I just love myself the way I am instead of beating myself up for not being something else? Or something like that. Don’t quote me. And then it hit me. Why do I feel the need to be mad at myself for who I am? I don’t even really think it’s because I’m comparing myself to someone else. It’s just this vision in my head of who or what I think I should be and for what? So I can spend my time being mad at my present self for not already being my future self? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Maybe I’ll get there someday and maybe I won’t. But does it really matter? Shouldn’t I just do the things I think are right and fulfilling and joyful and stop chasing this enigmatic future? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yes is the answer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In order to get off the crap train I like to listen to podcasts, #rageclean the house and go outside. Anything that helps you that I should add to my list? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ifeelpretty #everythoughtfulday #amyschumer #oprah #supersoulsunday #pieceofcrap (at Spokane, Washington)
