Do You Love You?


Affirmations:

Do You Love You?

How do you love you?
How much do you love you?
How do you feel when you love you?
How can you love you even more?

Everything around us shows us how to love ourselves.
But no one seems to see it or maybe they don’t want to.
Take a look at your home, your health, your friends and your life.
Everything is a reflection of your self-love or your need to love yourself better.

Are you keeping secrets from yourself and others?
Are you denying yourself what you really want to be and do and have?
Are you judging and criticizing what is wrong with you?
Do you spend time hurting yourself with thoughts and behaviors?

Is it time to clean up your whole Life?
Are you pleased with your home?
Are you doing your job well?
Have you handled your finances with integrity?

Are you secure with who you are and what you do?
Is there something you need to finish or clean up?
Do you enjoy your daily life?
Do you give yourself the very best?

Are you willing to choose quickly when something is right for you?
Do you understand how to be kind and easily forgive your mistakes?
Do you keep your promises and always give your best?
Are you willing to be responsible for yourself?

There seems to be a misunderstanding about love and loving ourselves.
We seem to think Love is an emotional connection or projection.
Love Is a Choice.
Love is being able to respond to ourselves with freedom and trust with respect and appreciation.

We come from Love to be an expression of Love to choose to inspire the Love We Are.
When we forsake ourselves, we forget to be love and the inspire Love in our world.
When we forgive ourselves for forgetting, ignoring and denying our love, we return to Love.
Love is remembered as we connect with the Love within and we are whole, happy and free.

This is as clear as I can be to remembering and relaying what I know.
I am loving you and all always, no matter what.

The only mistake we ever make is when we forget to Love.

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.
