The more positive your self-esteem and the better you feel about yourself, the faster and easier it will be for you to attract those things, people, and experiences that you want in your life. But there are some days that you can appreciate everything and everybody else…. except yourself.

Give yourself the gift of replacing your negative beliefs about yourself to those of nourishing praise, completely banishing negative self-talk in the process…

First, make a mental list:

Did you get some chores done that you weren’t looking forward to? Did you keep any personal disciplines up (like taking your vitamins, exercising, dietary considerations, meditation etc.)? Were there any temptations that you refused to give in to? Did you smile at anyone today?

Even if you got less than positive results, did you do your best at something today? Did you make someone laugh or feel better today?

You get the idea. PRAISE YOURSELF!

For some, it may be a big accomplishment just to get out of bed in the morning, get cleaned up and dressed for the day. For others, even taking the trash out feels great. No accomplishment is too small – name them all!

(NOTE: Taking the time to just “be” or nurturing yourself in some other way is an accomplishment worth praising too!)

Now, stand in front of a mirror, look deeply into your own eyes and say with a genuine feeling of gratefulness, “I appreciate you for ____” and insert the first item on your list.

Say it again and insert the next item, and so on until you’ve thanked yourself for accomplishing all you did today.

When you’ve named all that you appreciate yourself for, wrap the experience up by saying, “Thanks. I love you.”

The first few times you do this, you may experience some discomfort, flushing, embarrassment, or even tears. These are normal reactions since we have been trained not to boast about ourselves, plus you probably aren’t used to being so lathered with deserved and nourishing love and praise.

These reactions will naturally fade away as you continue to do the exercise consistently on a daily basis.

Once you do this for about four to six weeks, you’ll find that your negative thoughts and self-talk about yourself will simply disappear. Your self-confidence will soar right up along with your growing self-esteem. Creating your desires will become easier and easier, and you’ll be a transformed more loving and positive person, from the inside out.

Get started tonight – you deserve it!

Whenever you need a quick mental & emotional boost today, take a moment to remember these thoughts…

1. To get the most out of today’s mood booster, start by taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly…

2. Read the inspiration for the day:

Because I accept myself and really like who I am and what I’m doing, I deserve and have a right to all the good things life has to offer. I notice and accept all opportunities to receive them.

3. Close your eyes and repeat the statement to yourself while seeing it, hearing it, and feeling what it feels like applying it in your life TODAY.

That’s it! Throughout the day today, notice how this statement just happens to “come up” into your awareness JUST when you need it!

Have a great-filled day,
