Is there something you dislike about yourself? Is there something that you've been beating yourself up about?
That is negative. And, adding negativity to negativity only makes it stronger.
So, I'm going to ask you to do something entirely different.
Instead of thinking about that thing and disliking it... could you love it instead?
:DC:
Imagine it and keep sending it love and approval.
Make a list of these and do this exercise over and over.
Recently got the above email from Jason of LOA it change my thought process hope it will help someone else

That which you fight only gets stronger for grappling with you. :)
There's an old saying that we love in others the things we love about ourselves. So, the more you can love about yourself, the more you'll be able to love others.
Now, your thread begs the question - what does it mean to love yourself? I love myself enough to weed out certain parts of myself - like the part the loves caffeine too much. You're right, that fighting those parts only makes them stronger, but I don't approve of my caffeine-loving side enough to keep it around. I weed it out by noticing it when it rears it's head, and then just letting it go, getting back to whatever I was doing.
I weed it out because I love myself and want to take good care of myself.

I love that you love yourself! You are such a positive role model. :)

Actually this thing is the most thing I really want to have, 100%. :) Maybe I am with my 85% but I hope it will be 100 % :)
The thing i most dislik about myself it is that i feel anxious. I want perfection in what i do. Like i dont know how to wait and take it easy.
Corinne i love your quote:
""Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the ground each morning , the devil says, "OH CRAP, SHE'S UP"! "
You sound deighfull.:surprise:
