Build Yourself Up

Building yourself up is a hard thing to learn to do, as well as learning to deal with the inner critic.. This does not always have to involve religion or spirituality... But can involved simple words of encouragement, inspirational sayings, as well as affirmations. On my life and path though prayer and worship time.. is very important to building myself up and staying positive. .. I however fall into the pits often dealing with depression and fear.. so I am not gonna pretend I am the most happy and positive person in the world... But, it is at those times you feel most down is the times you need to find the positive and inspirational sayings, stories, read the Bible, or Chicken Soup for the soul books, or stories about your favorite topic, or hobby etc.

Herro dinxcarin Thank you for starting this discussion. There is so many areas of the Bible that can be used for encouragement. I like Psalms. Of course we can also use the parts that teach us how to think, fruits of the spirit. I love listening to Christian music, particularly contemporary. Sometimes I sing with it, sometimes I just listen. Putting encouraging thoughts on postcards and putting around house is helpful. I am on medication for depression, yet when I need Him, He is always there for me. Prosperous mylotting
