Remember Mindfulness – review expectations

Be yourself

Why would you want to be something you are not,
when you could be better, just by being yourself?
Being yourself is a continuous effort. There is
always another expectation placed upon you,
another person pulling you toward their
preferences, another nudge from society to act a
certain way. It’s a daily battle to be yourself rather
than what the world wants you to be. Such a
fundamental issue as this – the way that we see
ourselves, requires constant attention especially for
those in recovery from addiction. But if we succeed,
our self-esteem will rise accordingly. Can I be
myself?

Remember the pressures that are put upon us – be
who you are, be true to yourself. You are not here to
live up to anyone else’s expectations and if you try to
do so, it will probably bring unhappiness. Today I
ask that I learn to grow my self-respect by being true
to myself.
