16 Ways to Fall In Love With You All Over Again!
I mentor so many that do not love themselves. You are the only you. There will never be a duplicate. You have to know how special and rare you are. Your world will begin to look so much different once you fall in love with you. When did you fall out of love with you? Well, now it’s time to fall back in love with you. So forgive yourself of all past mistakes and see it as a time to reflect. Life is waiting on you to live.
1. Fall in love with you! Look at yourself in the mirror and smile at how wonderful and beautiful God has designed you. You are the reflection of a stroke by a divine artist. God has made you with such intricate detail. Every freckle, dimple, curve, hue should make you fall in love with you.
2. Pamper yourself! You work hard! You should take the time to treat yourself. It’s ok to indulge every now and then. You deserve it. Go ahead and buy that shirt, take that trip, get a massage, or go to the park. Appreciate your hard work and award yourself.
3. Eliminate all negative people from your life! Negative relationships or people can be very toxic. Negative people will deplete the life out of you. They will become your stumbling blocks to happiness and dreams being realized. Let them go! NOW!
4. Stop wasting time! Value time. Time is one of the most precious commodities God has given to us and how you choose to spend that time is a direct reflection of how you view your worth. Are you being productive with your time? What are you producing?
5. Live a purpose filled life! When you live life on purpose you find fulfillment. You are passionate about your existence. How are you impacting the lives around you? How are you making a difference?
6. Say I love you! There’s freedom in releasing those words from your lips. Who do you need to tell that you love them? Maybe you need to look at the mirror and tell yourself that you love you. Perhaps it’s a spouse, sibling, friend, co-worker or even a stranger. I LOVE YOU.
7. Be nice! It takes a lot of negative energy to be mean, selfish, hateful or intolerable. You are doing more harm to yourself than the person that is receiving your negativity. Open the door for someone. Say thank you or please. Return a phone call. Just be nice.
8. Give! Give a gift and expect absolutely nothing in return. It doesn’t have to be an extravagant gift, just a kind gesture. It is better to give than to receive.
9. Acknowledge your spiritual being! Connect to your heavenly father. Cultivate your relationship with Him. Find peace in His sovereignty.
10. Count your blessings! Look around you. Take an evaluation of your life and see how God has kept you. Even if you’re not where you want to be, acknowledge how God has kept you in spite of you. Knowing you can have what you desire in due time.
11. Dream! Every tangible thing that you see is the result of someone dreaming; computers, cell phones, cars, airplanes, clothes, jewelry, television, chairs-everything was someone’s dream. Cultivate your dream. Make your dream your daily reality. You can do it.
12. Believe in you! No-one can believe in you until you do. Look in the mirror and proclaim your greatness. Write it on the mirror that you are great! I know it sounds silly, but I’ve done it.
13. Laugh! Go ahead and smile. Now belt out the hugest and longest laugh ever. Laughter is better than any antidote. Laughter is good for the soul. Enjoy life.
14. Rest! God gives us sleep for a reason. Enough said.
15. Respect yourself! Respect yourself in everything that you do and demand others to respect you as well. I must say respect generally comes to those who already exemplify that trait.
16. Be authentic! Be the best you can be. Don’t allow people to change you. Be you.

I believe all of this to be true and great tools to loving yourself. I have found that this is one of the most important lessons in our lives. Without it there could be lots of hard times ahead. Thank you for all that you do, you're like preventive medicine
ReplyDeleteFantastic post and I think two things which are most difficult it extracting negative people from your life and taking time for yourself.
ReplyDeleteWe tend to keep people around if they are loved ones because it's difficult to break that tie, especially if they are family.
In this busy world it's also tough to take time for ourselves. I however take much time for myself and it's so invigorating.
