THE PENDULUM RULE
Have a look at the pendulum, the middle part it has two labels:
The first one is: I LOVE MYSELF!
The second one: SELF ACCEPTANCE - i ACCEPT MYSELF
The PENDULUM RULE is:
if you truly love and accept yourself, you will swing towards the creative side and have a swinging good time!
If you don't love yourself or don't even like yourself and can't accept yourself either, you will swing towards the victim side which means you are giving yourself a very hard time.
Ask yourself now "do I love and accept myself" ?
Consider this.
Everything up to this very second, your whole life is fact. It can not be changed any more.
If you get up now and look into a mirror, you will see yourself.
What you see is a fact.
Please love and accept yourself.
Love and accept what you see, feel and tell yourself about yourself.
Accepting a fact for what it is, is the prerequisite for moving on in life. If you can't accept the person you see in the mirror, then you have chosen the victim position, probably the toughest one there is.
Do you want to be a victim? No? O.K. then move on, go and accept yourself, love yourself.
Stand in front of the mirror, preferably naked, look at yourself and say out loud:
"I LOVE AND ACCEPT MYSELF."
After all, if you don't love yourself, how can anyone else love you?
And because there are people who love you, you are lovable and can love yourself too.
As soon as you can do that, life will start to change, (if you let it).
Life will become creative, as you are now ready to look into the unknown, do things you haven't done before, get out of your box, make mistakes, make corrections and truly LEARN!
Obviously, your belief systems will play a big part in the question as to whether you love yourself or not.
If you have an unsupportive belief system, the chance is that you don't love yourself.
This always comes together with a low self- esteem and a generally low self-opinion.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN YOU?
We discussed before, that to change your belief-system you must choose a supportive belief-system.
One excellent way of doing that is by way of affirmation.
