Self-Love
© 1987, 1988 Louise L Hay Love Yourself – Heal Your Life Louise L Hay Many people are looking for the one person in their life that can fulfill their deepest yearnings for love. It seems a common belief that if we find the one that has all the “right” qualities then we will never experience loneliness again. It’s a wonderful thought but doesn’t manifest that way in reality. The barriers that people experience in love come from an absence of self-love. It’s that simple. Loving relationships begin with loving yourself. To love yourself is the task of a lifetime. Loving-Yourself When people make the commitment to learn to love themselves, they find the most important behavior change is to stop all criticism. Whenever you criticize yourself, your changes are negative. Instead accept yourself exactly as you are. When you approve of yourself, your changes are positive. Criticism breaks the inner spirit so it’s important to praise yourself. This may be uncomfortable to do at first as we have been taught from an early age that this is vanity. However, once you begin the process of self-love your inner power supports you through the hurdles. It requires a trust that there is this power within. Loving-Yourself We have spent a lifetime in negative behavior patterns because this has been the consciousness of the planet. However this is changing in our present time. When you begin working on loving yourself you will find wonderful changes will occur in your life. Because our thoughts, words and actions are creative forces in our lives you will find any positive action you take towards improving how you feel about yourself will have positive outcomes. This is the law of Mind that demonstrates for you whatever you believe about yourself. Change your thoughts about your deservability of all the good available in the Universe and watch your good manifest.
