Hello Friends ~

It's me again, and I'm right back to where I always seem to end up at, feeling somehow, worthless and worth less than other women. This time, at least, I know that it is not true, however, I still get stuck, over and over again, wondering why on earth certain people I know, women mostly, who don't work as hard I do, or be as nice and giving as I am, or look as attractive as I do, or take care of them themselves so that they can be fit and healthy like I do, why do these people feel ENTITLED to be treated like queens, and I don't??

I know. The sense of deserving comes from within.

I try to look beyond other people and what I perceive them to be or have.
I try to focus on loving myself for what I am.
I try to take care of myself.
I try to focus on my artistic talents, things with real substance, rather than fleeting attributes like physical characteristics.
I journal.
I read.
I practice giving myself love.

Yet still, here I am once again, feeling like I'll never quite measure up . . .

Any one with some concrete ideas for me to try next??
