Exercise: I Love Myself

Take your pad of paper and at the top write, “I love myself; therefore…”

Finish this sentence in as many ways as you can. Read it over daily, and add to it as you think of new things.

If you can work with a partner, do so. Hold hands and alternate saying, “I love myself; therefore…” The biggest benefit of doing this exercise is that you learn it is almost impossible to belittle yourself when you say you love yourself.

There’s a big difference between the need for love, and being needy for love. When you’re needy for love, it means that you’re missing love and approval from the most important person you know—yourself. The first relationship to improve is the one you have with yourself. When you’re happy with yourself, then all of your other relationships improve, too. A happy person is very attractive to others. If you’re looking for more love, then you need to love yourself more. This means no criticism, no complaining, no blaming, no whining, and no choosing to feel lonely. It means being very content with yourself in the present moment and choosing to think thoughts that make you feel good now.

If something unpleasant happens to you during the day, immediately go to the mirror and say: “I love you anyway.” Events come and go, but the love you have for yourself can be constant, and it’s the most important quality you possess in life. If something wonderful happens, go to the mirror and say, “Thank you.” Acknowledge yourself for creating this wonderful experience.

First thing in the morning and last thing in the evening, I want you to look into your eyes and say: “I love you, I really love you. And I accept you exactly as you are.” It can be tough at first, but if you stick with it, in a short time this affirmation will be true for you.

You’ll find that as your self-love grows, so will your self-respect, and any changes that you find yourself needing to make will be easier to accomplish when you know that they’re the right ones for you. Love is never outside yourself—it’s always within you. As you’re more loving, you’ll be more lovable.

I suggest that you work on loving yourself nonstop. Demonstrate the growing love you have for yourself. Treat yourself to romance and love. Show yourself how special you are. Pamper yourself. Buy yourself flowers for your home; and surround yourself with colors, textures, and scents that please you. Life always mirrors back to us the feelings we have inside.

If you want to go from loneliness thinking to fulfillment thinking, then you need to think in terms of creating a loving mental atmosphere within you and around you. When you truly love who you are, you stay centered, calm, and secure, and your relationships at home as well as at work are wonderful. You’ll find yourself reacting to various situations and people differently. Matters that once may have been desperately important won’t seem quite as crucial anymore.
