  | Hi guys! Bree Winkler here. I’m a licensed professional counselor near Atlanta, GA, specifically located in Peachtree Corners, GA. Something very important has come to my attention and I want to share it with all of you. Here is what I have learned to accept recently: Not everyone is going to like me. Ouch - right?!? I mean, I’m likeable. I’m funny (sometimes!). I’m smart. I’m kind to others. But, I also have qualities that might not be appreciated by others, such as a sarcasm or Type-A personality qualities. |
Regardless, just because I am not loved or liked by everyone, doesn’t mean I am not loveable or likeable! This is a fact we have to teach ourselves and remind ourselves regularly!
To reinforce this concept, I believe MANTRAS are helpful. Mantras are short phrases to repeat to yourself. Can you add this mantra to your daily routine?
“I am entirely myself, not the sum of what other people think of me.”
How does it feel to say this phrase aloud?
Can you look at yourself in the mirror while repeating this?
Do you believe it?
Changing your beliefs takes time. Keep repeating this mantra several times a day until you can believe that you ARE likeable and loveable, especially in an unkind world!
