Self Loved
___________________
“Feeling bad about yourself activates stress centers in the brain that can actually lead to disease,” reports Peter Muennig, M.D. whose recent study showed that women who liked their bodies (whether thin or overweight) felt sick 30% less often than women who wished they were thinner.
Post-it cue:
Love
'as is’
Re-focus ~ Re-frame ~ Re-gain Self
Put one Post-it on your computer screen, one on your bathroom mirror,
one on your frig and one anywhere else you may spend repeated time during the day.
The act of writing imprints the truth on your mind.
Every time you see your handwriting again, it further imprints your mind.
To increase the value of this process, smile when you see a Post-it.
Smiling signals your mind to increase endorphins and imprint what makes you smile.

“Thank you” to Diana Chernofsky for sending this celebrity inspiration:
Consider Lauren Hutton who, despite a large gap between her front teeth, rose to super-model fame and is still beautifully herself growing older. Although she would wear a filler early in her career, as her fame grew she often convinced photographers to capture her natural gap-toothed beauty. Now that’s model living!
Post-it cue: BE!

Self Acknowledged
__________________________
It is said that a smile, which signals safety and friendship to another, is the shortest distance between two people. A smile creates an even shorter message from your conscious Self through your subconscious Self to your body Self.
Proof:
Close your eyes, take a deep breath, hold for four counts, now smile. What you feel is endorphins, the loooooove hormone, releasing throughout your body.
Start and end each day with this practice as your “Hello” and “Thank you” to your amazing body. Repeat often throughout the day in affirmation of “I love you!”

Dee Sanford Wrote ~
Unfortunately, from childhood, women are subconsciously encouraged to verbally express dissatisfaction to the very body that has to last us a lifetime. Who or what can flourish in negativity? Nothing! No wonder our bodies turn on us! We have told it such terrible things and criticized it, and not loved and accepted its curves and sexiness, and appreciated its very important role in containing our spirit!
Having had a weight problem all my life, I cursed and criticized myself. I never lost one pound behind it, and always felt inferior when comparing myself to slender friends or images on TV and in magazines. I learned to get past all that, and learned to love and accept my body years ago. Turns out it was the best thing that could have happened. That way I could love myself. It also made it easier for others to love me.
We won’t all be naturally slender, tall, with perky breasts, a flat stomach, shapely legs and hips, and all those body parts that spell “perfection” to a world of folks who could care less about us. So what? We are perfect in God’s eyes. He fashioned us wonderfully and I am thankful for this body I have. Thanks for reminding us!

Self Aware
_________________
‘Speak’ to your body directly...
...as to a lover.
With your dominant hand write, “Hello body.”
Close your eyes, breathe deeply and feel the message flow from head to toe.
When all internal ‘ears and eyes’ are open you will feel a warm buzz of awareness.
Open your eyes and, with your non-dominant hand, write, “I love you.”
Feel the endorphin rush.
Repeat

A GREAT Strategic Life-Plan
Dream what you want to dream;
Go where you want to go;
Be what you want to be,
Because you have only one life
And one chance to do all the things
You want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human and
Enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarily
Have the best of everything;
They just make the most of
Everything that comes along their way.
The brightest future will always
Be based on a forgiven past;
Treat every 'failure' as an opportunity and
Embrace heartache as proof of your ability to love
And good will follow you all the days of your life.
When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling
Live your life so at the end
You're the one who is smiling and everyone
Around you is crying.
