We shouldn’t try to be anyone else but ourselves. For so many of us, we don’t like who we are so we try to be anyone else but ourselves.
After my own personal growth and reflection on my life, the things that I used to reject and not like about myself are now things that I respect, appreciate and value. For years, I was told I was overly sensitive. The fact that I was overly sensitive was another way of telling me that I was too aware and inquisitive to rock the boat. I questioned the status quo.
I value the fact that I am sensitive. Being sensitive makes me a great coach and a caring person. It is who I am. I am reflective, value my own personal growth and development, family, friends, my clients and coaching, training, my job, teaching, my personal interests and hobbies, things that I believe in. After many years of rejecting the characteristics and core parts of myself, I now love those parts of me so much. I appreciate, value and enjoy them. I would strongly encourage you to do the same. It makes you feel so differently about yourself and your life like never before.
Each of is unique and special, and our highest and best is to be precisely and fully who we are. However, that being said, we can, and do learn from others. To often we learn bad habits that take up too much space in our lives. But we can also learn from the most successful and inspiring people we can find. Find someone that has achieved weight loss success and maintained it. Find someone that you can learn from to model your weight loss surgery success. Take what you learn and try it on for size for yourself. If it fits and feels comfortable, incorporate it into your life and make it yours. Your life and weight loss success depends on it. Go for it.
