Reinvention Week: The Honor Myself Check List

[Guest guest]

Good Morning!

 

At the start of a new solstice it is especially a wonderful time to

start working on ourselves, again. Continuing down the path of self

discovery and understanding all that we have to offer ourselves as

well as others! I will be covering these topics this week!

 

 

Reinvention Week: The " Honor Myself " Check List

 

Self-esteem issues are different in different people. Although you

may feel great about yourself in one area of your life, you may be

extremely down on yourself in another. Welcome to the world. We can

all seek to improve ourselves. It is time you became committed to

truly loving and appreciating yourself and who you are.

 

1. Walk with your head up - do not look down. Keep your eyes even

with the horizon. Tell everyone who you are with your eyes.

 

Affirmation: I keep my head up high. I choose to be a very loving,

humble, secure me.

 

2. Stay positive, patient and keep your temper in check - Breath.

Think of positive thoughts and seek the sunny side of every

situation. Avoid getting extremely angry and flying off the handle.

 

Affirmation: I am calm, cool, collected. Nothing, absolutely nothing

bothers me.

 

3. Stop taking things personally - guess what, it is not all about

you. Everyone is not against you and they are not ganging up on you

either.

 

Affirmation: It is not about me. I rise above all that is in my way.

I soar free and independent of that, which is around me.

 

4. Stop playing it safe - It is time to be a risk taker. The worse

thing that could happen is that you fall on your face. So what. And

your point is? If you do not go out on a limb sometimes, you will

continually be ruled by your fear.

 

Affirmation: I honor all that I am. I deserve the best. I am the

best.

 

5. No more hiding - Your lack of belief in yourself may want to keep

you hidden away behind closed doors and from reality. Get out there.

Meet and greet. You never know who you will meet. Make it a

challenge. You just might meet your next employer, love of your life

or bridge partner.

 

Affirmation: I am powerful and brave. I know we are all in the same

situations. We share the same consciousness. I will be the better

person and take my place in the world.

 

6. Change your vocabulary - NOW. Words and phrases like: " I can't " ,

It figures " , " Just my luck " , " I'm only human " , " I should have " , " Life

sucks " or " It's impossible " ... should never cross your lips...again.

 

Affirmation: I can, I'm so lucky, I'm so fortunate, I will, I'm

deserving, It's possible, I love my life.

 

7. Limit the apologizing and drop the guilty - Enough already. You

have nothing to be quilty of. Nothing. Continuous apologizing not

only is annoying to hear, it shows that you are not grounded and can

not find your comfort in your own skin.

 

Affirmation: I am guilt free. I have nothing to be quilty about. No

more excuses or apologies.

 

8. Make direct eye contact - make it every time with someone... and

keep it. Looking down or looking away only shows how insecure you

are. You have nothing to be insecure about and everything to be sure

of.

 

Affirmation: There is nothing more beautiful, than a confident

person.

 

9. Accept a compliment - with praise and graciousness. They are not

often given out. Take them with pride and honor. Be happy that

someone has found there own security enough to give one to you. Show

them how secure you are, by thanking them.

 

Affirmation: I appreciate a compliment. I deserve a compliment. I am

grateful.

 

10. Less taking and more giving - shows you are confident that what

you have to give is worth something. The more we take, the more we

think we deserve, the more we feed into our poor sense of self.

 

Affirmation: I am happy to give my time, my love and my charity to

all who need it.
