Even Beyoncé has bad days

Anyone else ever get sick of social media? It’s just such a false perception of reality. No one ever posts about the bad which makes us all believe that something has gone wrong when our own life isn’t picture perfect. But the truth is we all experience ups and downs in life. Even Beyoncé. There will be times you won’t show up the way you hoped. You might yell at your kids or get mad at your spouse. Getting along with certain people will be difficult. Loving yourself won’t come easy. And life will just be plain HARD! But don’t you worry because it’s supposed to be that way. Absolutely nothing has gone wrong. And nothing is wrong with you.

Let me tell you why this is true. Your human brain is wired to look for things that have, can, or will go wrong. It’s constantly looking out for things that may be harmful as well as things that just aren’t quite right. Example, have you ever been on vacation at the beach on a warm sunny day when your brain says something like, “this is great but I would be perfect if the weather was just a little bit cooler.” Or maybe your might think “If only I had an ice cold Swig in my hand right now.” What the?! I mean really?! It seems like your brain can always find something that isn’t quite right. It’s for reals good at it! Which is so helpful to know when it comes to thoughts about yourself. For example, if you believe when your brain tells you for whatever reason that you’re not enough, you will start to notice all of the reasons why this is true. Your brain is very good at gathering more and more and more evidence to prove a belief. It really loves to be right... but did you know that you can outsmart your brain just by simply questioning whatever thought isn’t serving you. So if you decide to question the thought “I’m not enough” you might say “In what ways is this untrue? Is it possible that I’m worthy and whole just as I am? Faults and shortcomings included??” What if you could accept and be at peace with all of it? The good and the not so good parts of you. I think it would allow you to decide instead what you wanted to believe on purpose. Which might be that you’re human and your make mistakes but you still love you even when you don’t show up in the best way. You could decide that no matter what you’re ENOUGH. Even when you don’t have the perfect hair, clothes, job, family life, marriage, home, etc. You’re still enough! And don’t forget, even Beyoncé has bad days.
