How well do you know yourself?
Have you ever stopped to consider this? This is something we often take for granted. After all, I'm living in this body therefore I must know myself right?
Are you willing to look deeper?
There are tremendous benefits in getting to know yourself by becoming aware of your underlying thoughts and patterns of behaviors. You may be shocked at some of the feelings and beliefs you host about yourself that you've never allowed to surface. This is not an exercise in judgment, but a wonderful opportunity of self discovery. As you recognize these old conditional and unloving thoughts, it will allow you to release them and replace them with the truth of who you are. Instead of running from old thoughts of judgement and self-condemnation, turn and face them. Acknowledge them, forgive yourself and release these feelings in love and gratitude.
Can you love and accept who you are?
Will you be present in the moment? You are the creator of your life. The more you love and accept yourself, the better you're going to feel. Turn off the old channels of conditional love, and tune in the divine channel of almighty, unconditional love. This is who you are. You are not your mind. Fall in love with all the parts and personalities that are uniquely you. Make friends with all aspects of your divine being. This requires that you trust yourself so when that "other voice" begins to make a lot of racket, you can make a quick and conscious decision to turn off the noise from your past and tune into a new channel of love and nurturing thoughts.
Will you put yourself first?
Remember, you're the commander and chief in your life. Are you clear about what you want? Are you making choices that benefit and contribute to your well being and happiness?
