Loving Yourself

Loving Yourself

It seems so much of my time and my energy have been focused on making or trying to make other people love me. The unspoken belief was that if I could make myself lovable to others I would feel loved.

Therefore, I spent much of my life trying to be more beautiful, skinnier, funnier, sweeter, and on and on. Every time I felt sad and not loved I would try to change something about myself, like, 'I won't talk so much,' or, 'I will be less needy.' Although both of these things would no doubt help, the point is, it isn't about what anyone else thinks of me. The truth is, I can only feel loved by others when I love myself. If I don't love myself, I will never feel loved.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is not only a journal., May 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul Journal (Chicken Soup for the Soul) (Paperback)

I love this book! It's not just a journal. It's very therapeutic and it will definitly help people who feel they are detached in certain areas of their life. Some times it says, "Write some things that you feel you are being pressured to do by your family. As you write it down, imagine that you are throwing it in the trash." This is definitly a great book, even if you aren't having any troubles in your life. There are even places for your friends , boyfriend and family to write in for support. I highly suggest this book for everyone who reads the Chicken Soup Books. And even if you don't, this is a good book to start with.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Chicken Soup Warmed my Soul, March 18, 2003

Kelly (Westland, Mi USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul Journal (Chicken Soup for the Soul) (Paperback)

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul: Journal, was one of the most moving books I have read. It is directed towards adolescents, and deals with issues every adolescent girl faces. It's a blend of stories, quotes, poems, and spaces to write your thoughts. This book has many different sections such as: family, learning lessons, love and kindness, and tough stuff. My favorite section, however, is "loving yourself". This book gave me a chance to deal with issues and see that I am not the only girl whom faces such issues. Chicken Soup is a book that I am able to pick up and at any time if I need some inspiration, help, or reassurance. Other issues helpful to me were on drinking, self-esteem, eating disorders, and how to deal with my past. Another good part about this book is that a lot of it is compiled with texts written by teenage authors. There are spaces for friends to write about you, and spaces for you to express how you feel on certain issues. Chicken Soup allowed me to realize I was not the only girl who had experienced some of the feelings I did. After reading this book I knew I wasn't alone! I do highly recommend this book to any teenage girl. Adolescence is a hard time to get through, and many girls need inspiration. You do not have to read the book cover to cover; you can pick it up any time and read whatever section you desire.
