Thought of the week: Love yourself

 Love yourself because of who you are .....not in spite of.


There are so many things we often wish we could change about ourselves: from what we look like to our personality to the things we like and dislike. Maybe we are too emotional or maybe we are too negative. This week try to love yourself just for who you are. That's not to say you can't change yourself for the better but I challenge you to wake up this week and instead of thinking something negative about yourself , think something positive. Love yourself for who you are because you are great just that way. Try to refrain from saying things like "well I'm not smart but Im pretty" or "Well....I look ok today even though I've gained some weight". Stop buffering positive comments with negative ones. Rather, choose only positive views of yourself . "I look great today!" "I deserve that promotion!". Remember YOU ARE DESERVING!


Of course we will slip up and from time to time the negativity may kick in, but hey we make mistakes. Just take each day at a time trying to love yourself more each day. Why? Because you deserve it, and studies show we are almost always more critical of ourselves than others.  Lets start this week only thinking great things about ourselves!
