Affirmations:
I love myself and live my truth.
I give what I have been given to share.
I inspire myself when I am free and trusting in me.
I always and easily listen within to the Love I Am.
Be True to Yourself!
There is no one like you.
You are an integral piece of whole.
Without your part, we are incomplete.
Step forward in faith and live your Peace.
Time to stop and listen within.
Time to let go of playing small.
Time to forgive what you call mistakes.
Time to live as though your life matters…..because it does!
When we limit ourselves, we are not happy and free.
When we judge ourselves, we cannot be what we are meant to be.
When we wait until invited, we may wait until all is lost.
When we set aside our hopes and dreams, talents and gifts, we may forget.
Time to be true to YOU!
You are the only one who knows you.
If you have forgotten who you are, get acquainted.
If you have neglected to listen to yourself, get still and listen.
There is a voice in you that needs to be heard.
There is a song in you that longs to be sung.
There is a dream in you that hopes to be lived.
There is a place in you waiting for you to go.
Take time, just a little time, to love you today.
Give yourself a moment to quietly be with you.
Show yourself a little love and self respect right now.
Talk to yourself in a way that honors and values you.
This life is your gift to remember Who You Are.
This time is your time to listen to Why You Came.
This breath you breathe is for you to Live Your Dreams.
This Holy Instant is your call to step into Your Truth.
Loving you is the most natural place to go.
Remember to Love You and you will be amazed.
Remember to listen to You and you will be guided.
Remember to free You and you will feel safe with You.
Loving you as you Love You!

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.
