Doing It Different

About a year ago I received some criticism at work.  I took it very personally and struggled with the entire situation.   This struggle went on for months!  This event affected all areas of my life.  I let a single event have all the power of my self-esteem.  My beliefs and actions were all based on the thought of not being good enough.  I gained a bunch of weight, was  miserable, felt unsafe, felt weak and did not see my entire life picture.  I was stuck on one thing and that was that I was not good enough.  I was so fearful!

Recently I received criticism at work again.  For about a day I took it personal, then decided that this is an opportunity for me to learn, to grow, and to do it differently.  I have not let this event affect other areas of my life.  I continue to work-out, eat healthy, and take care of myself.  I remind myself of all the good things that are going in my life and have even found myself feeling extremely grateful!  I have a wonderful, supportive husband who I know loves me so much.  I have a mom who I appreciate so much and always have so much fun with.  She is truly my best friend.  I have a brother who has recently shown me how much he cares about me.  I have friends that have called recently to say hi and catch up.  I have a new found spiritual center that I feel so welcomed in.  I have the support of Laura, Leah and all of you Pinkies.  I am sooooooooooo blessed!!  And this time around I only feel love.

May there be peace within.

Love,

Gina
