How to love yourself. 10 Principles of Louise Hay

1. Stop criticizing. Criticism never changes anyone. Refuse to criticize yourself. Accept yourself exactly as you are. When you criticize yourself, your change is negative. When you approve of yourself, you change positively.

2. Stop bullying yourself, terrorizing yourself with your own thoughts. It’s a terrible way of life. Find for yourself an image that is pleasant to you (for me it is a yellow rose), and immediately switch from thoughts that scare you to pleasant ones.

3. Be generous, kind and patient. Be generous to yourself. Be kind to yourself. Be patient as you learn a new way of thinking. Treat yourself like a true loved one.

4. Be kind to your mind. To hate yourself is to hate your thoughts. You shouldn’t do this. Better change them.

5. Praise yourself. Criticism destroys the inner spirit. Praise strengthens him. Praise yourself as much as possible. Tell yourself how well you do every little thing

6. Support yourself. Find ways to support yourself. Reach out to your friends and let them help you It’s natural to ask for help when you need it

7. Treat your imperfections with love. Realize that you yourself created them to satisfy some of your needs. Now you are looking for new positive ways to meet your needs. So gently get rid of the old negative stereotypes of behavior.

8. Take care of your body. Learn to eat right. What food does your body need to maintain optimal energy and vitality? Learn physical exercises. Which of them give you pleasure? Love and respect the temple in which you live dearly.

9. Work with a mirror. Look into your eyes more often. Show your feelings of growing love for yourself. Looking in the mirror, forgive yourself. Looking in the mirror, talk to your parents and forgive them. At least once a day, say to yourself, “I love you. I really love you.”

10. Do it right now. Don’t wait until things get better, you lose weight, you get a new job, or you make new connections. Start right now and do your best.
