"Beginning Today…
Today
look in a mirror
and notice
that the person
who greets you
is beautiful,
inside and out.
Today
say to yourself that
you know nothing is
impossible.
Remind yourself that
every one of your dreams
is within reach.
Today
think about all of
the people who love you,
who see the beauty in you,
and begin to look at yourself
in the same way.”
~ Lise Schlosser
What were you thinking while reading the above quote? Most of us can logically say we are that beautiful person inside and out, nothing is impossible and we share our many gifts with others. Do we truly believe that in our hearts? The answer is "NO.”
We are human beings and have lived many years letting our thoughts tear away at our greatness. It is time to change!
What can you do differently? Chose one of the small steps below to start looking at life from a different perspective.
1. Read Lise Schlosser suggestions daily.
2. Look in the mirror and wink at the person looking back at you.
3. Decide on one very tiny step you can take to accomplish your goal. Example:
Your goal is to lose weight, just for today eat a piece of fruit instead of a high calorie snack.
4. Write yourself a love letter acknowledging who you have become.
Take time for YOU today! Make a choice to start thinking and acting differently. You are worth it! Today, after implementing one of the above steps please let the Love Yourself – It Matters Community know what happens.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Helen

Many have been taught not to think they are good or beautiful because that is being conceited. It is important that we learn to see our true beauty and worth.
Hi Mark:
It took we a long time to learn my seeing my beauty is a gift to myself and others. Thanks Helen
The third paragraph of the passage made me think that I am missing words of encouragement in my life. I don't know how other people see me. I know I am loved but do we exchanged enough words to make our feelings understood? I will recall this passage as I exchange words of encouragement with my three daughters and husband. Thank you for the reminder and sharing your post.
Hi Maribeth:
Thank you so very much for pointing out that not only do we have to take the time to feel loved we also have to share our love with others. Helen
