Stop Criticizing Yourself

“Are you your own best friend?”

Sadly, most women are their own worst enemy. Who needs enemies when you can consult your harshest critic anytime you glance in a mirror? Logically, we should all be our own best friend, but it often isn’t the case. We reserve our harshest criticism for ourselves.

Learn now to be gentle with yourself. You deserve special treatment simply because you are special. Who best to comfort you, but you? Who best to compliment you, but you? Learning to love yourself is the greatest gift that you can give yourself. No expensive cosmetics, no retail therapy can deliver the inner warmth of knowing that you are happy being you.

When we love ourselves, it is no longer important that our hair is not perfect or that our thighs are a little dimpled. We don’t beat ourselves up for imagined imperfections anymore. In fact, we embrace our imperfections.

Today, look in the mirror and smile. The person there will smile right back. She loves you. Love her, too.

Get Rid of Hopeless Feelings

“There will be times when all seems lost.”

At one time or another it’s likely you will feel that your life has hit a brick wall. You may feel there are no solutions to your problems and your life will never change for the better. This time may even be now.

During such times, you must look back and remember the past obstacles you faced and conquered. Remind yourself of how you confronted and overcame them. Those challenges seemed as difficult as the ones you may be facing now.

Use your memories to reassure yourself that things will change, that you will get through these hopeless feelings.

You did it before and you’ll do it, again! Success is just around the corner.

Today’s Affirmation: I have faced and conquered obstacles and I am doing it again.

From The Secret Daily Teachings

Each of us is attracting in every moment of our lives. So when you feel that the law isn’t working for you because you don’t have what you want, realize that the law is responding to you. You are either attracting what you want or you are attracting the absence of what you want.

The law is still working.

May the joy be with you,

Quotes from Mr Sharma

Define your success by how happy you are-not by how many things you have.

How to Get Things Done

“Stop running to answer every request.”

Does a ringing telephone, a doorbell, or the sudden demand of an impatient co-worker make you immediately stop what you are doing? Do you feel your tasks take second place to the requests of others?

Every time you “drop everything,” your stress level rises and your productivity sinks. So, make sure these interruptions are vital. Demands on your life are often not as important as you think. What’s important is “you,” and what you need to accomplish.

It’s time to get your priorities in-check and make a conscious effort to separate what’s “important” from what’s merely “urgent.” Ask yourself, “Is this really important, or could it be done later?” Give your attention to the things that really count. You’ll find harmony when you do.

Today’s Affirmation: I give my greatest attention to my highest priorities.

Lift this Heavy Burden

“You cannot change anyone but yourself.”

When people don’t live up to your expectations, it’s not unusual to feel responsible for changing their behavior, especially if they are close to you. You may try and try – but when you don’t succeed, you end up feeling depressed and like a failure.

Changing another person can be a frustrating, impossible goal. Realize that people only change when they want to. Changing someone else is not your job!

When you put yourself in the position of controlling the uncontrollable you place a heavy burden on yourself. Not only do you feel weighted down, but you use up tremendous amounts of energy in this pursuit.

Instead, channel your focus toward things that you can control, such as yourself. It’s a much more peaceful and productive way to live.

Today’s Affirmation: I put energy into things I can control.

Why You Need to Laugh!

“Laugh – it feels good and it’s good for you!”

Have you laughed yet today? For most of us laughter doesn’t come very often, yet the magic it performs on our well-being can’t be denied. It helps you enjoy friends and family. It diffuses stressful situations and it allows you the opportunity to keep things in perspective.

In times of adversity, humor helps you to cope and survive. It helps you recognize absurdities in situations, and eases the tension.

Recognize what makes you laugh and put more of it in your life. Let your sense of humor see the fun in everyday experiences and open yourself to silly and outrageous thoughts.

Allow your laughter to flow. After all, laughter is the best medicine.

Today’s Affirmation: I allow my laughter to flow.

Let Go of Past Hurts

“Pain is followed by joy.”

Every woman knows something about what it feels like to be dumped, divorced or jilted. It’s almost like losing a limb. The pain may be deeper if a woman has been innocent enough to miss the vital signs. Divorce, adultery or even death – women feel it so strongly as to be shattered by the impact.

It’s important for you to realize that life DOES go on!

There is no dramatic pause in life. When the boat rocks and disaster strikes, no doubt there is pain. Everybody needs time to get over their misery.

But inevitably, your future has to go on. One has to let go of the agonies of the past and step into a new dawn. New interests, new projects, new faces and new horizons have to be found.

After a period of mourning and bereavement, when you feel ready to go on, MOVE AHEAD – confidently and purposefully. This new turn in your life may not be joyful at first. But the heart has a way of making old wounds seem less painful if you’re willing to let go.

After a while these new facets will give you immense joy, once again!
