Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Has anyone ever asked you if you like yourself? What would your honest answer be to that question? God loves who He made you to be and He will use your learning to like yourself to help you be a better mom. Let’s dive into learning to love and like ourselves today.

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Psalm 139:14
  • Matthew 22:39

 

Loving yourself means

  • You set healthy boundaries for yourself
  • You are thankful for your life and understand you have a purpose
  • You agree with God about what He says about you in His Word
  • You make time and space for the dreams God has given YOU (even if that means telling others no when they ask you to do things)

 

Liking yourself means

  • No matter how you look or what your limitations are you still feel value and worth
  • You can see all the good other people have going on and be happy for them without their success diminishing your own sense of worth.
  • You are able to laugh at yourself and not take life so seriously
  • You take time to get to know yourself – what you really enjoy and desire
  • You are able to rest and not feel guilty about it because rest is truly a need
  • You can wear what you want because you like it without feeling like you have to fit in and wear what you think others are going to like best.
  • You have grace for your own body to look how it does

Do you ever find yourself numbing in motherhood? Motherhood is hard and there are many ways we can attempt to cope that numb our senses and don’t allow us to fully heal from the pain in our lives. In this episode, we are discussing why we numb, how we numb and how to overcome so that we can be truly free.

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • John 16:33
  • Isaiah 63:9
  • 2 Corinthians 1:3-5

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF:

What pain are you numbing?

What are you using to numb your pain?

Has the thing you use to numb with really helped you?

Do you have good, positive feelings associated with what you are using to numb with that perhaps you need to disassociate with?
