Reflections on Healing - 14 Days of Self Appreciation Challenge: Day 6

February 6th.  

My ultimate goal is to be happy with myself. I am striving to get to that place where accepting myself is a natural as breathing.

This is the step where I stumble.  I find it so easy to find things about myself that I am unhappy with. 

Today’s exercise therefore while exceedingly simple will also be exceedingly challenging.  I deserve to feel happy about who I am; my character and my nature, my accomplishments and my aspirations.  I should feel proud to affirm “this is ME!”

Today’s Ritual:  I’m Happy with Myself affirmation:

Step one: 
Read each of the statements in the list below. 




Sit with each statement for several moments and then I ask myself:

-   Do I believe this statement?

-   If not, what is holding me back from believing this statement?

-  What can I do to change this resistance?

Step two:

Write notes to myself:        
-    On positive situations where I believe the statement to be   true.
-    Areas of resistance and what course of action I need to take

How does this exercise empower me and affirm positive things about myself?
