Love Yourself Through Your Struggles
You say things like "That's the last piece of candy I'll ever eat...I need to
exercise 10 hours today to make up for my messing up yesterday. I know better
I should do better. I must be an idiot. I don't deserve to succeed
for being so stupid. I'm disgusted with myself, etc."
This actually helps to perpetuate the "messed up" behavior instead
of diminishing it.
When you are struggling to change a behavior of which you
desperately want to be free (i.e. compulsive eating, chronic
care-taking, gossiping, smoking, gambling, drinking,
disorganization, etc), you need an emotional hug, not a beating.
When you love yourself through the rough moments your heart
softens, anxieties dissipate, and your struggle is transmuted into
acceptance and growth. You give yourself the space and freedom to
breathe and feel and be. It is from this place that you connect
with your authentic self; the Divine. It is from this place that you receive the inspiration and guidance and make manifest your grandest dreams!
Affirmations:
I am perfect in this moment!
I love myself unconditionally!
I say only kind and loving things to and about myself!
I always 'show up for me' when I am struggling to change...
AND
When I really 'show up for me' I no longer feel like I am "struggling"!
Live in Love!
