1. “Anger is like flowing water.
There’s nothing wrong with it as long as you let it flow. 
Hate is like stagnant water.
Anger that you denied yourself the freedom to feel, the freedom to flow.
Water that you gathered in one place and left to forget.
Stagnant water becomes dirty, poisonous, deadly.”
C. JoyBell C.
Flowing water allows forgiveness. 
It allows you to acknowledge your feelings, feel them, and then let them pass.
Allow yourself to feel whatever it is that you feel.
Instead of attaching judgement to your feelings,
Embrace them with compassionate curiosity.
Let your waters of forgiveness flow. 
Let them push out the hate.
And make room for love.

    “Anger is like flowing water.

    There’s nothing wrong with it as long as you let it flow.

    Hate is like stagnant water.

    Anger that you denied yourself the freedom to feel, the freedom to flow.

    Water that you gathered in one place and left to forget.

    Stagnant water becomes dirty, poisonous, deadly.”

    Allow yourself to feel whatever it is that you feel.

    Let them push out the hate.

    About Me

    Coping Skills

    Affirmations

    The goal of this blog is to teach self-acceptance and promote healthy body image.

    The main idea behind I. A.M. is that as human beings, we aren't defined by anything external, such as our weight, appearance, body shape, ethnicity, income, occupation, or background. Instead, it's our internal qualities--our character and attitude, our passions and dreams, our goals and morals, and the way in which we treat others--that are truly self defining.

    Whether you're battling an eating disorder, alcoholism, drug addiction, depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, poor body image, or any other mental health illness, I. A.M. exists to remind you that you are NOT alone.

    You aren't alone in how you feel or in what you're going through, and you don't have to face the pain alone. I. A.M. is here to remind you that things can and will get better.
