Affirmations: (For you to say and write daily, until you do not resist the Truth of your being!)
I am complete, happy and free.
I am created in Love as Love.
I live trusting in the Love within me.
I give the Love I Am with my thoughts, words and deeds.
When I sit at the computer every morning, I come without question or need.
I write what is within me being called forth to share.
Sometimes what emerges as my fingers begin to type is a question, an answer, an invitation.
Without concern or worry, without doubt or fear, I simply write what I hear.
I listen with my heart.
I know words from within.
I share what comes through.
I trust all is good.
I learn as I teach.
I receive all I give.
I share what I have.
I am grateful to live.
How would your life be if you trusted all things?
How happy would your days be if you shared what you have?
How free from pain and worry, if you knew all is well?
How easy to be grateful if you received only and always the Good?
Life is our reminder.
When we Love our life, we only share Loving Reminders.
Love is our path.
When we follow the loving way, we experience Blessings in all.
Listening within is our guide.
When we listen and follow the love deep within, we experience joy and ease.
Forgiving is our function.
When we erase everything and replace with Love, we see what really is.
No one is left out.
All are included.
Everyone is loved.
Free will is our choice.
We can give up what does not work.
We can choose what works for our happiness.
We can undo all that no longer is true.
We can reclaim what is our inheritance.
Where we do not have peace, we are conflicted.
When we do not find love and appreciation, we are misguided.
Where we are not experiencing happiness, we are stuck in judgment and fear.
When we choose to erase what is not best for ourselves, we find the fun, safe and easy way.
Try greeting today with love, appreciation and open-mindedness.
Try living the way that brings out the best in you.
Try choosing the path of hope, not despair, love and not fear.
Give up the old and create the new and every renewing YOU!
Loving you in all the ways I am loving me,
Betty Lue

HOW TO LOVE YOURSELF
1. STOP ALL CRITICISM
Criticism never changes a thing. Refuse to criticize yourself. Accept yourself exactly as you are. Everybody changes. When you criticize yourself, your changes are negative. When you approve of yourself, your changes are positive.
2. DON’T SCARE YOURSELF
Stop terrorizing yourself with your thoughts. It’s a dreadful way to live. Find a mental image that gives you pleasure (mine is yellow roses), and immediately switch your scary thought to a pleasure thought.
3. BE GENTLE AND KIND AND PATIENT
Be gentle with yourself. Be kind to yourself. Be patient with yourself as you learn the new ways of thinking. Treat yourself as you would someone you really loved.
4. PRAISE YOURSELF
Criticism breaks down the inner spirit. Praise builds it up. Praise yourself as much as you can. Tell yourself how well you are doing with every little thing.
5. BE KIND TO YOUR MIND
Self hatred is only hating your own thoughts. Don’t hate yourself for having the thoughts. Gently change your thoughts.
6. SUPPORT YOURSELF
Find ways to support yourself. Reach out to friends and allow them to help you. It is being strong to ask for help when you need it.
7. BE LOVING TO YOUR NEGATIVES
Acknowledge that you created them to fulfill a need. Now you are finding new, positive ways to fulfill those needs. So, lovingly release the old negative patterns.
8. TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY
Learn about nutrition. What kind of fuel does your body need to have optimum energy and vitality? Learn about exercise. What kind of exercise can you enjoy? Cherish and revere the temple you live in.
9. MIRROR WORK
Look into your eyes often. Express this growing sense of love you have for yourself. Forgive yourself looking into the mirror. Talk to your parents looking into the mirror. Forgive them too. At least once a day say: “I love you, I really love you!”
10. LOVE YOURSELF...DO IT NOW
Don’t wait until you get well, or lose the weight, or get the new job, or the new relationship. Begin now, and do the best you can.
