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.
