Take a pink sheet of paper and list all the qualities you love about yourself. Then take a gray piece of paper and list all the things you don't like. When the dislike list is finished, cross off all the untruths. You know what they are-the things that someone else judged about you, or that your culture says a woman or man "should" or "shouldn't" be. Think of positive affirmations to counter all the things on the negative list as well as ways to make those positive affirmations come true. Carve a pink or pale blue candle with words and symbols of promise and love for yourself, and anoint it with rose or lavender oil mixed with a little lemon for friendship (for we are always best served by becoming our own best friends!). Just as you light the candle, say:
"I am the perfect me, just as I am, and I love myself unconditionally. So mote it be." |
