This blog is continued from:
Day 168- OCD: Thoughts that Create my Own Prison
Day 169- Dermatillomania: The Fear of Being Ugly
Day 170- CSP: The Fear of Being Ugly (pt 2)
For context, I would suggesting reading these blogs first.

When and as I see that I am connecting the perception of beauty/beautiful
skin with success, relevance, value, acceptance, being liked, enjoying a mate,
and joy, I stop, and I breathe. I bring myself back to self-worth, self-value, actual
relevance, actual success, and self-enjoyment, within the realization that
anything derived from beauty is as hollow as the starting point it is founded
upon, which is opinion and judgment, with no actual basis in Reality, nor
consideration for the actual/potential beauty of/as Life, nor a consideration
of the forces that Life is confronting in every moment.
I commit myself to walk towards self-worth, self-value, actual
relevance, actual success, and self-enjoyment, by clearing my starting point to
one that considers myself as Life, equal to everyone else, and one with this
physical existence.
When and as I see that my internal environment is being
influenced by my self-perception of ‘the way I look’, which I can identify
based on how I am reflecting myself back to myself through how I think ‘others’
perceive me, I stop, and I breathe. I bring myself back to self-acceptance by
reminding myself that a breath taken in self-judgment is a breath of potential
given away. A simple focus on the breath instead of up in my mind, thinking
myself into diminishment, will bring myself back Here, where slef-acceptance is
not necessary because self simply IS- Here, Solid, Matter- no judgment required
to determine this fact. Thus, breath by breath I either bring myself back to actual
matter, where I actually matter, or I give myself away. I decide.
I commit myself to bring myself back to matter, where
judgment is not necessary as all matter counts and has equal value, despite
what exists in the mind of anyone.
I commit myself to drop and let go of my attachment and
relationship to appearance, within the understanding that I am not gaining or
losing anything.
When and as I see that I feel I am gaining or losing part of
myself based on how I can define myself against my programmed standards, or
what I perceive to be society’s standards in terms of how I look, or how I am
able to present myself, I stop, and I breathe. I bring myself back to
simplicity, wherein all these standards do not really matter. I understand I
have to be presentable in order to not create unnecessary consequences for
myself, but I can do so with an awareness, and even an enjoyment of expression,
without basing my ‘Who I Am’ upon ‘how I look’.
I commit myself to cut through and stand within the veil
society creates around the importance of appearance by not defining myself
according to what I believe to be society’s standards, but instead defining myself based on my output- my thoughts, words, and deeds.
I commit myself to slow myself down and prove to myself what
self-love and self-acceptance truly are, by stopping giving myself away to the pursuit
of ‘looking right’ to obtain an experience of myself, as if there were some
audience judging me in every moment.
