A Counselor’s Inspirational – Are you comfortable with you?

What do you do for yourself? What in your life is your own? What energizes you? What is it about you that keeps you motivated to keep going when times are tough?

If you’ve ever seen the movie Runaway Bride with Julia Roberts, she keeps running away from relationships--until she finally figures out who she is and what she likes, right down to her favorite style of eggs. You may have heard more times than you can count that, before you can love someone else, you have to love yourself first.  I believe it means so much more than a cliché.

Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or in looking at relationships with others in your life, being able to sit and be comfortable with you, any boredom that comes about, and being okay with yourself can put you in a position of leading your best life possible.

Maybe you find yourself getting in your own way.  Maybe you’ve been “losing yourself“ in a relationship--forgetting about those parts of you that made you, you. If you feel something’s lacking within you, or you are finding yourself in need of getting back to things that once kept you going, hopefully these inspirational quotes will help give you some motivation to explore within.  You can get back to yourself, or find yourself, for the benefit of you, and anyone you interact with.
