Fall in love with yourself
The Little Engine That Could is a timeless children's book from 1930. This story is still used to teach children the value of optimism and hard work. I love this book. When I was a kid, I didn't enjoy eating food. My patents had to persuade me to eat by asking me to imagine a little engine inside me that I needed to fuel so I could play, work hard and have a happy attitude. I am so glad that I took their advice because to this day I like to eat all kinds of food from different cultures. I have them to thank for my appreciation for the variety of foods on my pallet. My training with Robbins-Madanes deepened my belief in this engine. I have learned the following are just as important because they fuel our engines by enhancing self worth:
1. Repeating Affirmations
“I can do it!”
“I know what I am doing”
2. Appreciating myself
“I am a good _____ (brother/sister/mother/father/son/daughter/wife/husband etc.)”
“I am helpful, loving and sincere”
3. Accepting that no one is perfect
“I am not perfect and I like myself”
“I will learn from my mistakes”
4. Taking responsibility
“I choose to think of myself as a good person”
“I choose to make my own choices”
5. Using kind language
“I deserve to be good to myself”
“I deserve to speak to myself with kindness”
6. Using good posture
“I command my power”
“I respect myself”
7. Enunciating words
“I will talk softly and slowly”
“I will think before I speak”
8. Having faith and accepting support
“I deserve to give myself support”
“I have faith in myself and the divine power above”
9. Forgiving, having gratitude and letting go of negative people
“I deserve to be in the presence of good people”
“Love wins all; Thank you love”
10. Learning more
“I can learn to empower myself”
“I can learn to do anything I choose”
I have printed this list and posted it on my wall next to my dressing table. This acts as a reminder to make these actions a part of my daily routine so I can transform into who I want to become .I challenge you to do the same.
