DO YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF?
“We cannot rise higher than our thought of ourselves.”
-- Orison Swett Marden
Whenever we have the thought, "When I lose weight, my life will be different" automatically puts your life on hold.
Are you willing to try a little experiment and see what happens?
• For five minutes each day, make a list of all the things you like about yourself.
• Continue this exercise for the next 21 days.
• Every Friday for the next three weeks email me at www.theloveyourselfcoach.blogspot.com five things you like about yourself.
It has been proven over and over again by making this list you will focus on your special qualities and start feeling good about yourself instead of waiting until you lose weight.
I tried this exercise for 21 days, my thinking changed and started to take better care of myself. At first it was hard thinking and writing, "What I liked about myself" and then as time went along it got easier. One of the tools that really helped me was a commitment I made to a friend, on Fridays I would send her my list. The first week was the hardest because I felt I was bragging about myself and when I got her email thanking me I felt better. The second and third week got easier.
Have FUN and together holding hands we will run down the path of SELF-LOVE.

What I like about myself
1. I am very friendly and easy to talk to.
2. I feel very pretty and like the way I look.
3. I take very good care of myself by eating healthy and exercising.
4. I am a great coach and help women realize how fantastic they are.
5. I am working on being a better wife and partner.

Helen,
I love this quote! So very true.
This is a great exercise! This is a very effective way to help people to understand to live in the now, and not wait for something in the future. Very good!
Helen,
I see value in your blog. I am going to add your blog to my blog roll if that is okay with you.
