We have all been in that exact spot. Loving yourself in the mirror is tough. But I think its worth it, Iāll let you know when I get there.

Self affirmations to yourself in the mirror. Or not in the mirror. While youāre swimming since thatās your safe and joy space ( I think )
Say to yourself:
I am strong.
I am able.
I am competent.
I am nice.
I am kind.
I have friends who care for me.
I take care of my body with good food and exercise.
I am a beautiful person from top to bottom, inside and out.
And then repeat. Adding as many other self affirmations as you want.
Hugs.

Oh man Iām sorry your mind is being so cruel to you. You are beautiful and wonderful Jules! I do also think positive affirmations are helpful. Keep these posted all over so you can practice even when you are not thinking of them (if that makes sense).
Also try to think of two positive things about yourself for every negative thought you have. This will be tiring and exhausting at first if you are having so many negative thoughts. Keep at it and hopefully the positive thoughts will start to register and take over.
Sending love and hugs!

People who are negligent with their pets and let them get loose make my blood boil! 
This morning I saw a stray dog wandering along the side of a busy road. Everyone slowed down for it, but it couldāve ended badly for the pooch. It breaks my heart seeing roadkill that was once someoneās beloved pet.

That is such a sad thing to see 
But it made me think how most of the time weāre like āAwe, poor raccoon/squirrel/deer. Ehā¦oh well.ā I mean, I love all the animals, but find it funny the mind differentiates emotions depending on which animal it is

Right? Pigeonās for example are seen as rats with wings here, but theyāre as clean as pet birds (except when they get hurt through humans). Possums have a bad reputation as well, or hyenas.
Donāt get me started on folks who treat their pets badly, Iād do forbidden things with them if I could
