I believe a unique core self is born into every human being; the result of millennia of environment and heredity combined in an unpredictable way that could never happen before or again.--Gloria Stienem

Positive Affirmations are so important for me during this process.  I have to learn to refocus when I am deviated from my journey... and getting back to reading positive quotes and phrases help remind me of why I am doing this and what I am worth.
Rejection is something that [I don't think] not one person likes to feel... the worse is when it keeps happening to you [consecutively].  I can't help but feel that I am not good enough- no matter how untrue that is.   The truth is the person who rejects me is not rejecting me because of me, it's because of himself, it's his problem [not mine]... it really has nothing to do with me.  These people, I believe, are challenges or road blocks that will give me that jolt to wake me up and make me work a little bit harder to becoming the better person that I can be.  These challenges will help prepare me for the person that will value and love me the way we deserve to be valued and loved.

Some affirmations:

• From now on I will only surround myself by people that value me and truly care for me.
• I will believe that I am worthy of someones time.
• I know that I deserve love and I accept it now.
• When I believe in myself, so will others.
• I choose love, joy and freedom, open my heart and allow wonderful things to flow into my life.

The thing is this journey that I am on is not just about my physical changes, it's also (and more importantly) about my emotional and mental changes-- which are the most difficult to work on.
