I want to republish this list because I think many items here are timeless in their energy and actions:. It’s not magic or crazy fantasizing, it’s just working with your mind. Have a great weekend and remember you are perfect as you are, the mind just does not want to believe it! 🙂 Take full responsibility for your life. Stop blaming others.

Focus your attention on being the way you want others to be. Look into a mirror regularly and say “I love you, I really love you”. Stop feeling guilty and saying “I’m sorry”. See mistakes as valuable lessons and avoid judging yourself. Consciously generate positive thoughts and feelings of self-love in place of old thoughts of inadequacy.
