Love yourself... nurture yourself...

The love of others is so very comforting and nice. But remember, there is no love that compares to self love and acceptance and nurturing. Today, give yourself the gift of truly being loving to yourself. Give yourself the gift of self forgiveness and acceptance and do something special just for you. This is where true transformation will begin.

If you slip, tell yourself you will do better next time, and move on. Don't beat up on yourself. This only makes it worse. Be loving and forgiving as you learn to embrace this new life you are embarking on. Remind yourself that you can do it better starting with the very next choice you make and just move forward from there.

Being loving to yourself also includes not allowing yourself to say "well i already messed up...I can start fresh tomorrow". No.. the fresh start is in the next moment, the next choice. Do not give yourself permission to take longer and do more damage mentally, emotionally and physically. Love yourself enough to break that way of thinking. You will grow and blossom and find you are getting better with things every day, every moment.

Loving yourself also means knowing when to ask for help, support or anything else you need.

Have a wonderful self nurturing day!
Hugs!

Wonderful words of wisdom,  Thank you Patrece.  Take the choices one at a time, make the best possible selection for your needs.  Spread the acceptance around to others.  Do something great for just one person, yourself.

Today I choose to look to the positive, believe that my dreams are possible, live the dreams and they become reality.

Hugs, Kathy
