In the last entry I talked about how my outer self had seem to become bleak but that is not the only part of me that I have ignored. My inner self has also been ignored since I have become a mother. This is not because of my son but because I have allowed other things to come first. I am one who thinks I can do all things myself, well I am wrong. By doing this I allowed my inner self/soul to become beaten down to were I feared that I was not enjoying our new son as I should. Many nights after work all I would do was lay on the couch and honestly do nothing more. My eating habits had changed to were I would skip meals as a breastfeeding mother this was not a good thing. Playtime with my son was more just watching him play by himself on the floor with his toys. I knew that something seriously needed to change.
Around two months ago I realized that I needed to really fix myself because not only do I need it for me but for my family. The food for my inner self is the word of God and just being with Him. Before our son I would spend time with my Heavenly Father everyday because this is what I believe to food for my soul. However, once our little man came into our lives this became a rare occasion. So the last week or so I have picked up the word of God which has given my soul a revived sense. Not only do I believe that my soul needs to be healthy but I feel that it is a necessity for my son to see this as well. How will I be able to raise a son if I can't take care of me. My soul is just in need of a makeover as is my outer self.
Not only do we need to worry about our outer self but more importantly we need to worry about our inner self however that may be. We always need to find that peace inside ourselves. This blog is not only about our outer beauty but all beauty that is life.
