so in my head…i’m working on this concept. you know how we sometimes have faulty messages about ourselves? for example, i tend to believe that i am not a woman that a man could ever fall in love with…have sex with, ‘yes’, but not take home.

now…i know that my message is faulty. i know it is not true. after all of these years, i understand how to be affirming to myself. i am good at recognizing the “untruth” and replacing it with the “truth”. i know how to give myself affirmations. i can tell myself, “i am loveable.”

what i’ve been thinking a lot about…is that giving myself affirmations is not enough. how do i nurture the “truth” inside of me? according to wordnet, nurture means to develop, foster, or help. so…instead of just telling myself the truth, i want to develop the truth inside of me.

so far, i’m open for suggestions. i believe that i must provide the opportunity for nurturing. maybe that means to play in my sketch book more, write more often, read more often, travel more often, hike more often. i don’t know. i will tell you what i find out.
