Loving yourself allows you to see the beauty in others. It opens your senses to the vividness of divine light, to the sweetness of your own life experience and to the power of your focused incarnation. Loving yourself allows your consciousness to believe the shape of love, which makes you at once loving and lovable. But most of us are very mean with the love we tender ourselves.

Be kind and patient and gentle: Be kind to yourself.  Be patient with yourself as you discover the new ways of thinking.  Be gentle with yourself.  Treat yourself as you would someone you really loved.

Be loving to your negatives: Acknowledge that you made them to fulfill a need.  Now you are finding new, positive ways to complete those needs.  So, lovingly release the old negative patterns.

Be kind to your mind:   Self-hatred is only hating your own ideas.  Don’t hate yourself for having the thoughts.  Gently change the ideas.

Don’t scare yourself: Stop frightening yourself with your ideas.  It’s a terrible way to live.   Find a mental image that gives you happiness and immediately switch your scary thought to a pleasure thought.

Mirror work: Look into your own eyes often.  Express this growing sense of love you have for yourself.   Forgive yourself looking into the mirror.  Talk to your parents looking into the mirror.  Forgive them, too.  At least everyday, say: “I love you, I really love you!”

Praise yourself: Criticism breaks the inner spirit.  Praise builds it up.  Praise yourself as much as you can.  Tell yourself how well you are doing with every small thing.

Stop all criticism: Criticism never transforms a thing.  Decline to criticize yourself.  Accept yourself precisely as you are.  Everybody changes.  When you criticize yourself, your changes are depressing.  When you agree of yourself, your changes are positive.

Support yourself: Find ways to support yourself.  Reach out to your friends, and allow them to help you.  It is being strong to ask for help when you need it.

As you open to loving yourself in this way, you also develop your ability to love others exponentially. As you love others with more genuineness, you shine love’s light everywhere you go.
