I like this quotation from Abraham (Esther Hicks) “I love myself enough to stop arguing for my limitations.” So, today, as I write this piece, I thought about loving myself and about what that means. I thought there might be a few ways I could do this better. I deserve to love myself. Of
course, I know I am worthy of being loved, no matter how long it takes for me to get there.

Initially, I think it helps to stay positive as much as possible. This means I have to be aware of what my mind is thinking and make the conscious choice to keep lifting my spirit. This is mostly
easy enough by taking small actions every day. Some actions might be reading a good book or a funny book. (Humor is so, so important). Buy yourself some fresh flowers. Walk outside or inside at the mall. Write down some goals, not just your to-do list. Feed your birds outside then
watch them. Call someone you have not called lately. (FYI: Google just gave me a few hundred more ideas.)

What is interesting is how beliefs and feelings that are at the source of my understanding are underneath my thoughts and are difficult to be aware of. Many of those beliefs and feelings are fearful, and I think were established in my brain by the time I was 7 years old. What to do now is
the question. We must completely forgive the past as we become aware of it. Everyone was doing the best they knew how.

It helps to remember we are led by our spirit guides and angels all the time. There is a line in A Course in Miracles that I like to use: “I could choose peace instead of this.” I like to imagine what perpetual peace could feel like. Just one small thought like this can bring a feeling of
peace.
