Changing Your Thoughts to Build Self-Love

Today is Day 6 of my 31 Days of Self-Love posts to celebrate Self-Love Month with suggestions for jumpstarting your own self-love.

I’ve said before that my whole life changed when I read You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. I knew by then that I wanted to love myself but didn’t understand what I had to do. Reading Louise’s words literally blew me away. Like the old saying says, I was ready and the teacher came! My self-love began to bloom more fully as her words sunk in. I posted one of her videos on manifesting a few months ago.

Today I have one of her talking about self-love. Watch it. Let her words sink in! She is brilliant. After all, she deeply got through to me when I was still a DoorMat! She gives a very good case for loving yourself. Listening with an open mind is a great way to say “I love me!”

Getting Up After Being Knocked Down
It’s not uncommon to have life circumstances knock you down. So much is out of your control. The people who ran in the Boston Marathon, or came to watch it, didn’t expect a bomb to go off. People get knocked down in other ways every day. It can make you want to stay in and avoid life. Or you may

Are All People Are Jerks Until Proven Otherwise?
I wrote the book, All Men Are Jerks Until Proven Otherwise, in 1998. Now it’s out in its 15th Anniversary edition because so many women found it helpful. Not surprisingly, I got questioned often over the last 15 years about the title being derogatory to men. It’s not male bashing. I believe that

How to Do Things You Could Never Imagine Doing
Trying new things is a great way to increase your self-empowerment. Knowing that you did something gives you confidence to try more new things. You may have to overcome fear in order to do something that seems hard. When I was a DoorMat, I stuck to what was familiar. I didn’t want to risk failing

Thank you!
After I almost lost my sight in 1986 I also discovered Louise…and forgot. Now, you are my “Louise” and you have reminded me of what works in a self-loving productive life. Blessings!
