How Do You Love Yourself?

This is article is not about narcissism. Nor about how to put your make up or what to wear (this is not a Cosmo magazine...). This article is simply about how you can put more 'value' into yourself. This article will not be as long as usual.

1. Start with the mind

I know it is not an easy task sometimes, but believe me, your ears believe the closest mouth that said something. In this case, your own mouth!

The easiest way to do this is by standing in front of a mirror and say: "Thank You, Lord for Your blessings. My health is better, my finance is growing, my family is loving me! Thank You for everything I have!"

Say that every morning in front of a mirror and I believe that in no time , you will value yourself more. You will no longer complain about what you do not have, instead you will feel blessed by Him.

If you do not believe your mind has such a power , then try this, stand in front of a mirror and say: "I am ugly! I am worthless! I will die by a cancer! I will die alone!"

Try it every morning and tell me what happen after a few years.

2. Focus on the 'right' side

Get a piece of paper and divide it into two, left and right side. Your left side is about negativity, complain, anger, etc. Write it down. Write it all. But on your right side, write every blessings you have everyday.

Hard to fill the right side? Let me help you. If you have normal eyes that can look the beauty of this world, write it. If you have normal hands, then write it. If you have normal legs, write. If you breathe free air through your nose, write it. (Well, that is actually two things, free air and nose.) See? In just one minute you can fill your right side. Focus on your right side and you will value yourself more.

3. Belief

How much is your worth? You have to believe that you are worthed. I know some people do not believe that they are worthed. It is so sad that one day I read something like this on Twitter, "I hope my baby doesn't as ugly as me. I hope he doesn't as fat as me."

Sad because this girl do not value herself that high, let alone her baby. Because when you cannot believe that you are worthed, than it will be much harder for you to believe that you are beautiful. Not just your outside, but also from the inside.

Friends, you are so expensive, well actually WE are so expensive. We are so worthed that Father in Heaven sacrificed His Son to save us! If we are not worthed, why would He do that? We believe that we are ugly, God does not believe that, "So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them." (Genesis 1:27)

Why do we believe that we are bad? We are ugly? We are worthless? We are a sinner? Because we choose to believe in that. Because we believe that we are bad, ugly, worthless, and a sinner. But, if we believe that we are God's child, we will believe that we are so priceless!

Friends, I always believe that God has your image in His bedroom. He put it beside His bed. I believe that God has your image as His wallpaper. I believe that God has your picture inside His wallet. So, believe it that He loves you so much and your value is so high that it reaches priceless!

God bless you as always.
