Amping Up Self Worth

Clients have heard my stories of cool things happening in my life within 12 hours of first practicing "I am worthy" affirmations in writing. It used to be one of my favorite ways to turn up the "self love" volume, partially because it was short and simple, but also because writing is a powerful manifestation technique for me.

Since then, I've also become a fan of Jack Canfield's mirror exercise from his Success Principles. (I always thought mirror exercises were corny, but holy hannah - it works! Try for yourself!)
Here's how it goes: before bed, look yourself in the mirror - eye to eye - and acknowledge yourself for all that you accomplished that day. Name everything you feel good about or did "right." Toot your horn! Express pride in yourself!

Jack did this for 40 days and found all his negative self-talk totally vanished. (Yay!)

It basically boils down to improving the way you talk to yourself. Throughout the day practice talking to yourself the way you would someone you love unconditionally. (My litmus test is "Would I say this to an orphaned kitten or my imaginary daughter?") If you wouldn't say it to someone you love, don't say it to yourself. Learn unconditional love and acceptance for yourself. It's what lands you solidly in the space of allowing.
