Remember to empower yourself

Hey wellness family,

I hope you're having a beautiful day! I want to share a story that has greatly impacted my life.

A scientist once conducted an experiment with three plants. Every day, he gave positive energy to the first plant, telling it he loved it and how beautiful it was. He gave negative energy to the second plant, telling it he hated it and that it was ugly. The third plant received no attention; it was ignored.

After a few weeks, the first plant was vibrant and thriving. The second plant turned brown and appeared to be dying. The third plant, while not as rapidly as the second, also began to decay. 

What you tell yourself every single day is what you're going to become. Please be mindful with your self-talk.  This is coming from someone who is incredibly hard on himself.    And so I I write this to remind you (and myself!) how much you have been through, how much you have grown, and how beautiful you are. You are a gift to this world. You are a gift to the universe and you need to remind yourself every single day, how beautiful and rare of a gift that you are.

Talk to yourself as the scientist did the first plant. If you forget, let me remind you: you are beautiful, you are loved, and I am so proud of you.

Thank you, and have a beautiful day.
