First Love Yourself!
You are the most important person in your life. Think about - who's the only one guaranteed to be with you from the beginning to the end?It's February the month of Love and I haven't seen any cards that say: "To Me, I Love You!!" "Hey You, You're Fabulous, Love Me xox"
Wouldn't it be great if we made our own "I Love You" cards. It could be done once a year or every month or every day. You would use all your amazing creative talent and write your own love letter to yourself and then take pride in your accomplishment.
I wanted to add a note of levity to what is in fact a sometimes difficult journey - the path to loving and appreciating you for you will be bumpy and steep and so worth it when you reach your destination.
Follow these Simple Daily Practices to Begin Your Journey
Forgive yourself for past misdeeds. There is no way to go back and change what you did or what you said. Carrying it around like a ball and chain is a waste of valuable "you in the present moment" time.
Do Something Every Single Day that Makes YOU Feel Good!
Each Day, throughout the day, say to yourself silently or out loud:
"I love and accept myself exactly as I am."
When you hear critical self-talk and thoughts, silently shout "STOP" and then replace them with words of appreciation for yourself.
Use "I Am", "I Can" and "I Will" to describe yourself, your actions and your dreams.
Practice laughing at you when you make a mistake!
