Love Yourself - IT MATTERS!
Being Kinder to Yourself
Are you being kind to yourself?
Today is a new day and we have a choice to either continue doing
the same thing and hoping for another result or do something
different.
I was thinking about why we are the hardest on ourselves. The
thought popped into my mind that the reason we are so hard on
ourselves is that we want to look perfect. In order to achieve
perfection we have to be hard on ourselves. How can we change this
situation and be kinder to ourselves? To find the answer. I asked
my clients, coaches, friends and family members what they do to
make sure they were kinder to themselves. Following are some
suggestions:
-
Before getting out of bed in
the morning decide what you are going to do nice for yourself
that day. Make sure you do it!
-
Be kind to yourself.
-
While taking a shower sing
your favorite song.
-
After putting your make-up on
look in the mirror and tell yourself, "You look pretty."
-
After shaving looking in the
mirror and tell yourself, "You look handsome."
-
Today only eat healthy meals.
-
Spend time alone each day
daydreaming.
-
Spend time with your family
members sharing what made you happy today.
-
Read your "Happiness
Journal." A journal listing all the things that made you happy
in the past.
-
Keep telling yourself, "I am
perfect just the way I am."
Affirmation: I give myself
permission to be the number one person in my life today!
Now it is Your Turn!

Golden Opportunities
On July 20, 2008, Mindi, my daughter, participated in an Ironman event
in Lake Placid, New York. In the pouring rain, the 2,300 athletes swam
2.4 miles, biked 112 miles and ran 26.2 miles.
There was such excitement and energy in the air. The gun went off at
7:00 a.m. and the athletes hit the water. Their supporters were
screaming and yelling and waiting anxiously to see their participant
come out of the water. During the day we watched the athletes, bike,
run, and finally cross the finish line. Today Mindi can say she is a two
times Ironman.
Below is a picture of Mindi and her son Jeffrey crossing the finish
line.
 What
struck me was the drive and determination the participants showed. I
realized even though they had been training for months they still needed
an inner strength to keep going.
Isn't it amazing when we need that inner strength it appears. During the
past seven months my inner strength has helped me make changes in my own
life. Today I look at life from a different perspective and seek out new
opportunities.
I want to thank everyone for your emails and support. I feel loved and
supported.
