"You've been criticizing yourself for
years and it hasn't worked. Try approving
of yourself and see what happens." - Louise Hay
So, five years ago I was driven by my ego
and I was living a life that was all on
the exterior. I was focused solely on how
much money I can make, what kind of car I
drove, and the types of clothes that I
wore. I still had this inner voice in my
head that would come up and it had
tremendous power over my life. So many of
us aren't even aware of these types of
voices, how to control them, and what to
do when they start to occur.
Imagine if there was somebody just
following you around all day long
telling you exactly what you don't want
to hear. They weren't building you up. They
were actually tearing you down over and
over and over, everything that you did.
Some of you have an entire team of
selfish narcissist in your head,
pretending to be important, screaming at
you to be heard,
weighing you down. You took on that voice.
But here's the deal. That voice is your
own. It means that you have the power to
change your story about who you are
telling yourself that you are. And if
this sounds crazy,
if it sounds ridiculous, if it sounds too
far out into the stratosphere, like it's
impossible,
don't worry. I'm gonna give you a tool, in
a second, that you can use. And I
completely understand where you are. I
used to hate that inner voice but now, I
love it. Because now, it's my biggest
advocate. It's my strongest coach. It's my
best teacher.
And it's me. So I want to give you that
ability and leave a comment below and
let me know how it goes.
Instead of criticizing yourself, approve
of yourself.
It sounds pretty easy, right? And it can
be. But don't get discouraged if it
doesn't work at first because it is a
little challenging. Remember, like
anything new,
it may take some time to embrace this
new way of being, this new way of
thinking and actually believing in
yourself.
The first step is to OBSERVE and be
honest with yourself. When do you have
these self-imposing limitations that are
in your mind? Let him come in and let him
go out. Start to observe and cast no
judgment.
Don't let that guilt and the shame hold
you in that pattern of consistently
doing it. Number two is QUESTION. With every
thought that comes in, ask yourself, "Is
this thought building me up with love or
is it tearing me down and sending me into
hell realm. Number three is to ADJUST. Be
more loving, more positive, more uplifting.
Instead of blaming yourself, accept
yourself. Admit your mistakes but don't
let them define you. Use them to open
you up and move forward of who you are
at your core without the shame and the guilt.
Instead of saying, "I am lazy and I am fat
and I can't exercise." Try this:
"I make empowering choices. Every decision
I make in my life is building me up.
I'm moving closer and closer every day
to my ultimate destiny. I am abundant. I
am whole.
I am complete. I am prosperous. I'm
radiant. I am vibrant. I am gracious. I'm
gratitude. I am that I am. And continue to
do this every single day. If it's money
problems you're working on, "money is
coming to me like a tidal wave of
prosperity and it's flooding into every
consciousness of my being." Start to
declare it. Your words will become you.
Your words create your reality. Only you
can create the path that you decide and
accept in life. I will say right now, my
friend. I am absolutely living my dream
life everyday. I springboard out of bed. I
have so much enthusiasm. But there are
those days that I wake up and I'm in a
bad mood for whatever reason.
I didn't get enough sleep, I ran out of
Organifi and I'm just pissy. That's okay.
Be in that. Observe it. Adjust. Recreate .
Instead of focusing in on what's lacking,
focus out in giving and it will
radically transform your life. So these
