Day of Delirium #179 - How to love yourself

From Louise L. Hay:


"I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE IS only one thing that heals every problem, and that is: to love yourself. When people start to love themselves more each day, it’s amazing how their lives get better. They feel better. They get the jobs they want. They have the money they need. Their relationships either improve, or the negative ones dissolve and new ones begin.

Loving yourself is a wonderful adventure; it’s like learning to fly. Imagine if we all had the power to fly at will? How exciting it would be! Let’s begin to love ourselves now.

Here are 12 Commandments to help you learn how to love yourself:


Stop All Criticism.

Criticism never changes a thing. Refuse to criticize yourself. Accept yourself exactly as you are. Everybody changes. When you criticize yourself, your changes are negative. When you approve of yourself, your changes are positive.


Forgive Yourself.

Let the past go. You did the best you could at the time with the understanding, awareness, and knowledge that you had. Now you are growing and changing, and you will live life differently.


Don’t Scare Yourself.

Stop terrorizing yourself with your thoughts. It's a dreadful way to live. Find a mental image that gives you pleasure, and immediately switch your scary thought to a pleasure thought.


Be Gentle and Kind and Patient.

Be gentle with yourself. Be kind to yourself. Be patient with yourself as you learn the new ways of thinking. Treat yourself as you would someone you really loved.


Be Kind to Your Mind.

Self-hatred is only hating your own thoughts. Don't hate yourself for having the thoughts. Gently change your thoughts.


Praise Yourself.

Criticism breaks down the inner spirit. Praise builds it up. Praise yourself as much as you can. Tell yourself how well you are doing with every little thing.


Support Yourself.

Find ways to support yourself. Reach out to friends and allow them to help you. It is being strong to ask for help when you need it.


Be Loving to Your Negatives.

Acknowledge that you created them to fulfill a need. Now you are finding new, positive ways to fulfill those needs. So lovingly release the old negative patterns.


Take Care of Your Body.

Learn about nutrition. What kind of fuel does your body need in order to have optimum energy and vitality? Learn about exercise. What kind of exercise do you enjoy? Cherish and revere the temple you live in.


Do Mirror Work.

Look into your eyes often. Express this growing sense of love you have for yourself. Forgive yourself while looking into the mirror. Talk to your parents while looking into the mirror. Forgive them, too. At least once a day, say, "I love you, I really love you!"


Love Yourself . . . Do It Now.

Don't wait until you get well, or lose the weight, or get the new job, or find the new relationship. Begin now—and do the best you can.


Have Fun.

Remember the things that gave you joy as a child. Incorporate them into your life now. Find a way to have fun with everything you do. Let yourself express the joy of living. Smile. Laugh. Rejoice, and the Universe rejoices with you!"

Day of Delirium #175 - What I like about me

This was posted on Louise L. Hay's Facebook page today:

"Here's an exercise for today. Take out a piece of paper and write 50 positive things about yourself. Pay attention to your feelings when you are doing this exercise. Is there resistance? Is it hard for you to see yourself in a positive light? Continue on! Remember how powerful you are!"

And I would love it if you would be willing to list just 1 of your 50 things in the comments.

One of mine would be I truly do believe that nice matters.

Day of Delirium #174 - Are you ready for some football?

In honor of the Super Bowl today I will post about my favorite football team:

My alma mater Lehigh University!

I was lucky enough to attend a game last season with my Mom, sister and brother-in-law on a gorgeous September day. We won and it was a great time, as always.

Pre-game with the Marching 97 - Lehigh's band

Our mascot, the Mountain Hawk

Kick off!!!!

Looks like hat day at the game ;)

 Sister and brother-in-law enjoying the day.

Me and DangrMomma decked out for Lehigh - our colors brown and white and our matching necklaces.

Day of Delirium #173 - Two for the Road

Watching the 1967 movie Two for the Road and I just love this exchange:

Mark Wallace: Just wish that you'd stop sniping.
Joanna Wallace: I haven't said a word!
Mark Wallace: Just because you use a silencer doesn't mean you're not a sniper.

Food for thought.

Day of Delirium #172 - Wear Red Day

I wish I remembered to post this earlier but today 2-1-2013 is Wear Red Day.

"In 2003, the American Heart Association faced a challenge;Cardiovascular disease claimed the lives of nearly 500,000 American women each year, yet women were not paying attention. In fact, many even dismissed it as an “older man's disease.” To dispel these myths of heart disease as the No. 1 killer of women, the American Heart Association, along with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute created National Wear Red Day® to raise awareness of this critical issue. Each year, on the first Friday in February, millions of women and men come together to wear red, take action and commit to fighting this deadly disease."

I am wearing my red today and if you have a chance maybe you could to.

Your heart means the world to me, please take care of it.
