The "Honor Myself" Check List
Our Goal this week will be to promote self-worth and promote body
awareness. Identity work to raise consciousness. Build self-
confidence. Improve our ego, self-esteem, emotional balance and
strengthen our positive personality traits. We will allow ourselves
to see all the beauty our eyes touch.
Self-esteem issues are different in different people. Although you
may feel great about yourself in one area of your life, you may be
extremely down on yourself in another. Welcome to the world. We can
all seek to improve ourselves. It is time you became committed to
truly loving and appreciating yourself and who you are.
1. Walk with your head up - do not look down. Keep your eyes even
with the horizon. Tell everyone who you are with your eyes.
Affirmation: I keep my head up high. I choose to be a very loving,
humble, secure me.
2. Stay positive, patient and keep your temper in check - Breath.
Think of positive thoughts and seek the sunny side of every
situation. Avoid getting extremely angry and flying off the handle.
Affirmation: I am calm, cool, collected. Nothing, absolutely nothing
bothers me.
3. Stop taking things personally - guess what, it is not all about
you. Everyone is not against you and they are not ganging up on you
either.
Affirmation: It is not about me. I rise above all that is in my way.
I soar free and independent of that, which is around me.
4. Stop playing it safe - It is time to be a risk taker. The worse
thing that could happen is that you fall on your face. So what. And
your point is? If you do not go out on a limb sometimes, you will
continually be ruled by your fear.
Affirmation: I honor all that I am. I deserve the best. I am the
best.
5. No more hiding - Your lack of belief in yourself may want to keep
you hidden away behind closed doors and from reality. Get out there.
Meet and greet. You never know who you will meet. Make it a
challenge. You just might meet your next employer, love of your life
or bridge partner.
Affirmation: I am powerful and brave. I know we are all in the same
situations. We share the same consciousness. I will be the better
person and take my place in the world.
6. Change your vocabulary - NOW. Words and phrases like: "I can't",
It figures", "Just my luck", "I'm only human", "I should have", "Life
sucks" or "It's impossible". .. should never cross your lips...again.
Affirmation: I can, I'm so lucky, I'm so fortunate, I will, I'm
deserving, It's possible, I love my life.
7. Limit the apologizing and drop the guilty - Enough already. You
have nothing to be quilty of. Nothing. Continuous apologizing not
only is annoying to hear, it shows that you are not grounded and can
not find your comfort in your own skin.
Affirmation: I am guilt free. I have nothing to be quilty about. No
more excuses or apologies.
8. Make direct eye contact - make it every time with someone... and
keep it. Looking down or looking away only shows how insecure you
are. You have nothing to be insecure about and everything to be sure
of.
Affirmation: There is nothing more beautiful, than a confident
person.
9. Accept a compliment - with praise and graciousness. They are not
often given out. Take them with pride and honor. Be happy that
someone has found there own security enough to give one to you. Show
them how secure you are, by thanking them.
Affirmation: I appreciate a compliment. I deserve a compliment. I am
grateful.
10. Less taking and more giving - shows you are confident that what
you have to give is worth something. The more we take, the more we
think we deserve, the more we feed into our poor sense of self.
Affirmation: I am happy to give my time, my love and my charity to
all who need it.
