How Do I Love Myself? Let Me Count The Ways...
1) I will not judge myself
2) I will not assume in any way.
3) I will not want to be like:
Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister or anyone else.
This would be the same as thinking, “I don’t want to be me,” and I would become oppressive to me.
4) I will be in compassion for myself:
If I do not make mistakes I cannot learn.
Without one we would not know the other.
5)I will allow myself to be humble, vulnerable, innocent:By thinking I have to defend myself is how I allowed my mind to take over in childhood. The “mind” or my thought’s created guilty and thinking guilty is the opposite of being innocent, etc.
6)I will not be afraid of what others might think of me:This would be an assumption that I make real when I react to that assumption. Or a Judgment within myself, and it is saying the other is more important than me.
7)I will not want:Because in ‘the wanting,’ the ‘what is,’ is not what I want and I am comparing.
8)I will not compare myself to anyone:This would be saying someone else is better or worse than me and is a judgment in assumption or not true.
9)Unconditional Love is without these conditions:My judgments, My fears, My wants. These three are always reacting together. If I am judging I am also in fear and in want. This is a cycle and can be interchanged with all three; if I’m in fear, I’m wanting. If I’m wanting, I’m judging, etc. This is a cycle of my issues and these are not love.
10) I will allow myself to see past the illusions created in my mind
by learning what I chose to allow my mind to create:
No thought is real unless I choose to bring that thought into reality by my reaction to that thought.
To love myself I can choose again and live in peace within. As I create peace and love within me, others may learn.
