Hey, Embrace Your Flaws

in #self-improvement2 years ago

HEY!.png

We all have flaws.

My hair doesn't grow regardless of what product we buy ( if you see me then you will know). Your nose isn't where it should be, but it's not so far from it. Some like their flaws, some despise them, but either way, they are a part of who we are.

You may feel like you're missing out on opportunities because other people see you as flawed. But did you know that having a visible flaw or two doesn't mean you're actually flawed? Or that these perceived flaws are what's keeping you from success? It's important to give yourself the time and space to accept your body for being just how it is — even when it doesn't live up to your expectations.

I myself at times see something that is kinda off in me but lately, I realized that they don't define who I am as a person, it's just one of those aspects that I have to accept and learn to live with. (my hairline is thinning each year and I think at the age of 40 I will be completely bald )

What do you think? Do you sometimes feel like your body is a problem? How do you cope with this feeling?

Value your uniqueness.

I think the main problem is that many people don't realize how unique they are. Each person is a combination of so many different factors that it's hard to find someone exactly like us. So, when we compare ourselves with other people, especially those who seem more attractive or successful than us, what we're doing is comparing apples to oranges. We need to remind ourselves that our own individuality makes us special and irreplaceable.

So, instead of comparing ourselves with other people, we should focus on our own uniqueness. This doesn't mean that you should think that you're better than everyone else; it just means that you should appreciate your own qualities and stop trying to be someone else.

The first step in overcoming the habit of comparing yourself with others is to become aware of your own thoughts and actions. Whenever you notice yourself comparing yourself with someone else, stop for a moment and ask yourself: why am I doing this? What does it accomplish? Why can't I just accept myself for who I am

Be willing to change.

The second step is to be willing to change your behavior. If you're comparing yourself with others and it makes you feel bad about yourself, then there's no reason why you should continue doing this. You have the power to change how you think and behave, so don't let past habits hold you back from becoming the best version of yourself!

In one of the books that I am reading a concept of eudaimonia is presented. This is the idea that humans are meant to flourish, and that we can only do so if we live according to our nature. This means that we should work towards cultivating the virtues that are unique to humans, such as reason and self-control.

The change will always be there for sure and if you are willing to take further steps to improve yourself that will be a great thing. I myself am a believer that if there's something within me that can be changed with all of the powers that I have I will definitely change but if it is not within my control then I let go.

For example, I cannot change the fact that I getting bald and so I have to accept it already and just focus on other stuff.

A lot of people don’t care about our imperfections nearly as much as we think they do.

When you look at it, we all have flaws. The only difference is that some people are better at hiding them than others. It’s important to realize that there’s no such thing as perfect and even if someone claims otherwise, they're probably lying or delusional.

It’s easy to get caught up in the idea that we should all be perfect, but it’s not realistic. We’re human and humans aren’t perfect. It's important to remember this, especially when you're feeling down about yourself or some aspect of your life. You are allowed to make mistakes and no one is expecting you to be perfect all of the time.

Focus on the good in your life.

When you focus on the good things in your life, it makes it easier to be happy. You can think about all of the wonderful things that are happening in your life and feel better about yourself. This is a great way to get out of a funk and improve your mood in general.

It can be hard to stay positive, but it’s important to remember that you are good enough. You are allowed to feel bad about yourself sometimes, but don’t let those feelings drag out too long.

Try to think of things that will make your life better in the future. If you’re feeling down about something, in particular, try to remember that it will get better. You can take steps now to make things easier on yourself later on when things get hard again.


Flaws come in all shapes and sizes and they're more beautiful than we give them credit for. I know that it is hard to embrace it as the society will always tell us to be perfect at times but if you look closely, you will see that every flaw comes with a story. You are not your flaws, they are just part of who you are.

While you are in the process of embracing it - please do not die.

I will always remember that words when I feel demotivated and not confident about myself, don't compare apple to orange. The only problem is my confidence, actually I don't have that, that is why when someone says you're pretty, I don't believe it. I need to see it to myself first, but I never see it

Compliments are hard to accept especially if we are not used to receiving one or our confidence isn't at par with others. Try to become more kinder to yourself, and say affirmative words. Sometimes what we say to ourselves just manifest in real life.

You can do this!

Yes, words are very powerful that is why we need to be careful.

@tpkidkai This always reminds us that nobody is perfect in this world. Whether we like it or not, we all have flaws. Perhaps I am flawsome.

Thank you so much for sharing this interesting content dear friend. Have a grat day! ❤❤❤

Hey Pink thanks for dropping by. Indeed we all have our imperfections and those are the things that helps us who are right now. We can embrace and motivate ourselves that we can always be better everyday.

Enjoy the night!

And that embracing our imperfections will help us grow better every single day, making us better persons than we were yesterday.

You are most welcome dear friend @tpkidkai ❤️

This is a great reminder tp... I do s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶i̶m̶w̶s̶ compare myself to others and it's depressing. We need to snap out of it and realize that each of us has our own strength and beauty. Improve what we can.

I still do compare! But when I am in the depressing state, I try to stop and think. What's in it for me? Magkakapera ba ako if I will be entertaining such thoughts? If di naman, then try to mark it as rubbish.

Rather than focusing on what we lack, we can just focus on what we can work on. Maybe yung wala pala tayo yun ang maging strength natin in the future if we improve.

Thanks for dropping by BP! (Tatskie)

And we need positive minded like u tp... hirap pag down na down ka sa kainsecuran tapos lahat ng nakapalibot sau mga nega. Kaya keep spreading positivity.

great

I grow up in an environment na always being compared to and because of it I have super low self esteem until now....but still growing.. and I thank all my internet kakulitan because.. " oh, I can communicate pala minus the anxiety!" XD

HAHAHAHA i myself can attest to this. Introvert pag walang internet pero extrovert pag nasa harap na ng pc / mobile parang may ibang persona.

Glad that you found your safe space Chill!

flaws? I don't like my nose, my biggest insecurities before, got that typical Asian nose. With I don't like smiling, as I had that feeling that it would just emphasize how flat my nose is 🤣.
Yet, thanks for reminding today, made me realized that we could not have it all.

Bawal daw humakot ng award, di lang ikaw ang anak ng diyos sabi nung basher na nasa likod ko asking me to type it.

With I don't like smiling,

Thank goodness we are now using facemask most of the time! Naitatago ang pagiging busangot ko din.

If you're comparing yourself with others and it makes you feel bad about yourself, then there's no reason why you should continue doing this.

Ay sorry naman, ang laki kasi ng insecurities ko kuya pero thanksgod kasi lately natatanggao ko na. Mas napapadali sakin yung nga bagay dahil sa dahan-dahan ko nang natatanggap

Little by little G you will be able to embrace it. Trust the kind words of people around you.

Perfect 100000/100!
All of these hit me hard 🥲
I can’t really help but compare myself to others in one aspect of my life only - and that is my weight. I am willing to change but sometimes (or maybe always?) I’m too lazy to change my habits. It’s not ez!

Sa true lang tayo Witty, ang hirap magpa payat talaga. Kahit magbawas ng timbang talaga nako parang I cannot do it too.

Focusing on what's good in our life will make our view of the bigger picture better than we think.
Hindi mababawasan ng mga flaws natin ang pagkatao natin. Di naman tayo magiging alien pag ganun..

We can still be whole while they are present within us.😊

Tagos sa puso naman to @tpkidkai . Sarap basahin😌
