I distort reality on a daily basis… because reality continues to ruin my life!

Cognitive distortions is my favorite phrase from my time in therapy after my divorce.

When you have been hard on yourself for so long, recognising these distortions as they come is half the battle. Or at least it was for me.

Isn’t that what therapy is for? To go round and round in circles until, finally…something clicks.

Of course, the clicking can take forever! ;)

Oh yes, I know this feeling well. I do the same thing! (I think a lot of women have this problem)What Sara Jane said is true tho, everyone sees us differently and you just have to accept the fact that people are complimenting you because they honestly believe that, rather than because of some other motive.

You ARE a beautiful person, inside and out–and i know this because i have seen the proof! (and I read about it everyday) xoxoxoxo!

“Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful.”
-Sophia Loren

Keep your chin up! People see you in a completely different way than you see yourself. I can tell that your have an amazing inner beauty from your writing. Now all you have to do is dig deep to see what others do.
