What if

 What if there is nothing wrong with you? What if the inner critic is just an excuse maker?  What if we choose to see the good in ourselves as well as others?

It never hurts to see the good in someone, they often act the better because of it.  Nelson Mandela


How much good we would do in this world by believing in ourselves?  What if we stop holding ourselves back?  We all have something to offer!

What if

 What if we were to ask why me?  But, not as a victim.  Often when I hear the why me question it is really someone asking why are they a victim.  I believe you can be a victim or you can be powerful.  It is up to you to choose which.  Personally, I like to reframe a story so that I come out a winner.  I like to mine that story for all the good, all the lessons I am meant to learn.  I genuinely believe every story has a silver lining.  It may take a lot of looking to find it.  If you are asking why me then you must have experienced some trauma.  Whatever form of trauma it was there is a way to heal from it.  Both our minds and our bodies were designed to heal.  There are many therapies we can use to heal our minds.  My favourite is art-making.  It is scientifically proven that we form new neuropathways in our brain while engaging in art centred around healing.  What a gift!
