LOVING OURSELVES:
We can stop treating ourselves the way others
treated us, if they behaved in a less than healthy,
desirable way. If we have learned to see
ourselves critically, conditionally, and in a
diminishing and punishing way, it's time to stop.
If other people treated us that way, it's even
worse to treat ourselves that way.
Loving ourselves may seem foreign, even foolish
at times. People may accuse us of being selfish.
People who love themselves and hold themselves
in high esteem are those who give the most,
contribute the most, love the most.
How do we love ourselves? By forcing it at first.
By faking it if necessary. By "acting as if."
Embrace and love all of yourself – past, present,
and future. Forgive yourself quickly and as often
as necessary. Tell yourself good things about
yourself.
If we think and believe negative ideas, get them
out in the open quickly and honestly, so we can
replace those beliefs with better ones.
Pat yourself on the back when necessary.
Discipline yourself when necessary. Ask for help.
One day we'll wake up, look in the mirror, and
find that loving ourselves has become habitual.
At that time we'll be living with a person who
gives and receives love, because that person
loves him-or-herself. Self-love will take hold
and become a guiding force in our life.
