Love Yourself First

"Whatever you are doing, love yourself for doing it. 

Whatever you are feeling, love yourself for feeling it." – Thaddeus Golas

It's no secret that we tend to look for flaws within ourselves and that we're our own worst critics. We always find something that we don't like and even catch ourselves saying, "I'm not good enough, not beautiful enough, not thin enough, not smart enough." Often times we tell ourselves that if we do X, Y, and Z we will be able to love ourselves. "Over the next few months I will lose weight, become a better person, change some bad habits, and then I can start loving myself!."

Nonsense! The time to start loving yourself is NOW! The simplest way to begin loving yourself is to start by saying it! In order to surround yourself with self-love and create a bubble of love you need to learn how to say, "I love you" to yourself! You can do this silently but it is more powerful when you actually speak the words, "I love you" out loud to yourself.

Make saying, "I love you" to yourself part of your morning ritual--look into the mirror and say out loud to yourself the words, "I love you". This may sound awkward or strange in the beginning, but over time, these three powerful words will make all the difference in how you feel about yourself. Everyone needs to hear that they are loved and cherished. Stating, "I love you" to yourself is affirming that you are a child of God worthy of love.

Do it now! Start today! Do not wait to lose weight, get the new job, or to find the new relationship! Start today and do the best you can do. Look into your eyes often. Forgive yourself while looking into the mirror--express a growing sense of love you have for yourself. At least once a day say, "I love you, I really love you!"

Today's Nourishment:Today I look in the mirror and tell myself I love you. I embrace myself and allow myself to feel love and warmth. I surround myself with a bubble of love--starting with telling myself, I love you!
