Which of the quotes is your favorite?  How can you use it to improve yourself today?

Here are two additional ways to show yourself self-respect.  For you to experience self-love and self-respect, it is important that you release all negative ways of treating yourself.

Release Negative to Better Respect & Love Yourself!First of all, let go of past mistakes. Mistakes occur when you judge your past behavior … and see it as a mistake. So, you might ask, “How else could I look at my past counterproductive behavior?”  You could view your past actions as part of your life-learning.

Stop going through — or thinking about — your mistakes. It doesn’t do you any good. Rather, learn from your past mistakes and, once you have done so, move on. What you can’t change about your past mistakes, you can learn to avoid in the present and near-future.

In addition, do away with the negative criticism — negative criticisms are destructive.  Instead of using negative criticism, focus on positive affirmations. As an example, instead of saying, “I am worthless”, you might tell yourself, “I am totally worth fighting for!”

When you do this, notice how you feel — and how you feel about yourself.  Your words have power to influence your feelings … AND your actions.  To take charge of your self-love and self-respect, allow yourself to focus on positive acknowledgement for, and assessment of, yourself.

It is a truism:  If you do not respect yourself, nobody will. Stated differently, if you don’t Love Yourself - Embrace the Pastlove yourself, how are you going to get anybody to love you? You — and you alone — provide the model for how others treat you.

So here are is one key way to learn to love yourself:

Embrace your past. Certainly, you’ve had a heartbreaks in your past. However, whatever is in the past, it is important to leave it in the past. The past is past.  There is little that you can do to change it.

Allow yourself to learn that the past has made you the person that you are today. Rather than regretting the past, endeavor to learn from what has occurred in your past.

When it comes to change, be clear with yourself.  While you cannot change what has occurred in the past, what you CAN change is the present — the here and now.

Here are some of the characteristics of your Subconscious Mind:

  1. your subconscious mind functions by its very nature to create what it is told, and
  2. your subconscious mind does not care what it creates — it just creates what you have commanded through your thoughts.

Laughter -- Powerful Medicine for Healing!A Positive Attitude is a prerequisite to creating positive outcomes in your life. Positive attitude serves as a springboard to positive thought. To say this in a different way, positive thoughts spring naturally from a positive attitude.

Your subconscious mind – the deep part of your mind – uses your thoughts as the commands from which it creates your life. The words that you say to yourself – the ideas that you think – make up the orders that direct your subconscious mind in what to create your life to be. When your thoughts are positive, the creations of your subconscious mind are also positive.

So, if your attitude is positive and your resultant thoughts are positive, the outcomes that you experience in your life – as created by your subconscious mind – are also positive! You can Read more
