At a group therapy session I attended last night, we discussed ways to take care of yourself from a emotional and mental stand point. I sat back and listened as hands were raised and ideas were shared. Some were specific while others were vague, but they all had a common theme: “Learning to Love Yourself.” It’s something I have said for a long time, “You deserve love, and that starts from within.” It doesn’t matter what if you do something specific like take a warm bubble bath. It doesn’t matter if you are vague and just want to work on addressing yourself with love and respect. However you are able to do it, just make sure you work on strengthening the love you have for yourself. For me, I often reward myself by working hard to meet a goal and then give myself something in return such as a hike through the forrest, buying something cute, or sometimes even going somewhere special. It’s just enough motivation for me to keep moving forward and keep achieving my goals. Outside of these specific goals, I found it equally as important to set vague goals as well. I will tell myself that once a day I will tell myself something I like seeing in the mirror. I will make sure my internal thoughts are the same towards myself as a I would treat a friend. And I will encourage myself to find reasons to smile throughout the day. At first these goals were hard, and often I failed to succeed. But with determination and continued effort, these things have become second nature. No longer do I need to remind myself to smile, I just do it naturally. No longer do I hide from the mirrors as I know many reasons why I love what I see. I now receive love constantly, and that love starts from within. #Love #LoveYourself #TransPositve #SmileMore #LoveYourReflection #Transgender #Proud #KaylieLove #P2BT #GenderTherapy #GroupTherapy #Reflect #TakeCareofYourself https://www.instagram.com/p/B0WU4h8Jm2B/?igshid=iw25ynyctasl
