When was the last time you looked in the mirror and said I love you? Depending on the day, time, what kind of mood you were in and who you may have encountered in the course of your day, I love you is generally not the first thing you think to say to yourself when you look in the mirror. But it is probably the most critical. Throughout the day, we tend to whisper negative messages to ourselves, sometimes without even realizing it. Those darn negative messages from the past creep in and the next thing you know, we are in a bad mood. We have the power to decide what kind of mood we are going to be in and it starts with loving ourselves. Start a love letter to yourself. Tell yourself why you are a loving person. Remember what makes you special, talented, gorgeous and worthy of love. Think about the people in your life that you love and that love you. Express gratitude for their love and feel them telling you that you are deserving of love. Here is an additional exercise that I would like you to start and practice for the next 30 days. It is called The Mirror Exercise from Jack Canfield’s book The Success Principles. Everyday, either morning or night, stand in front of the mirror and say hello to yourself saying your first name. Tell yourself why you are loving and end by saying I love you. Do this everyday. There will be a shift in your thinking and how you feel towards yourself. You are deserving of love. Believe it!
