Falling in love with yourself is the ultimate gift.  Before you can fall in love with another, you must fall in love with yourself.  As Wayne Dyer says, “You cannot give away what you don’t have for yourself."  Keep remembering this. 

I believe this is the greatest opportunity for us to learn how to do.  Did you know that there are some of my clients who have resistance in expressing love for themselves?  When asked to say their name and then “I love you," they make the choice not to do it.

Express the love for yourself right now by writing a love letter to you.  Stop what you’re doing and start writing about your characteristics, your talents…..Who are you?  Okay, you can read this first and then write.

Our patterns of self-criticism (EGO) can be very apparent when trying to express love for ourselves.  We can easily go to “I don’t do this well.  I can’t do this.  I should have done this.  I am such a screw up." 

Let’s create a new pattern of behavior which only represents the God within.   Let’s say instead:  I bring joy to others!  I always smile!  I’m a great writer!  I laugh a lot!  I love me!

Let me tell you a little story.  When I was in grade school, I had a classmate named Paul.  Paul was such a great artist and I remember sitting in class watching him draw and was so envious of his talent.  Of course, I attempted to draw and stick figures were the result.  I was very frustrated thinking that I had no talent of any kind because I focused on what I didn’t do well.  I looked at others too and had those same thoughts wishing I could be like them.  What I was really expressing is “I am nothing. I have nothing to offer."

It wasn’t until many years later I realized that I’m a great writer, but hadn’t considered this a talent until I changed the way I looked at me.  I now change my conversations inside and out to represent what I do well and express love for me. 

You know, I did like writing as a child and used to write songs.  I loved doing this…it was the way I expressed myself.

Always remember that you do have talents, you do have gifts, you are brilliant!  For today, remember who you are and express your love for you by writing that love letter to yourself.  Fall in love with yourself! 

I love you for who you are!

Love and hugs,
