In order for us to perpetually grow, we need to begin with our self-talk. There is a method in psychology that is helpful for learning how our negative self-talk hinders our growth.

Today's lesson is Self Realization. I learned something from Henry David Thoreau, who wrote, “Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.” Lose yourself in order to find yourself. Now, that is an interesting concept.

As a baby, you began to grow, and you were born with an innate desire to become what you were meant to be. If you’ve been running from it, stop. Allow yourself to grow into who you were meant to become. Growth begins with yourself!

We create our life by how we see ourselves. If you see a lot of discouragement and discontent right now, consider your level of confidence in your abilities. Is it lacking in some way?

These 30 Days of Love have been harvested especially for you.

Love who you are, flaws and all! You are completely unique!

You are extraordinary! Love that part of yourself that is unlike any other, and only spend time with people who feel the same way about you!

When you change your thoughts, you will change your life. And the way you think also changes the chemistry in your brain

If you’re hanging on to anger, fear, anxiety and feelings of hate, you will just get more of that in return. Surrender to love, and see how everything changes.

Love all that you have in this moment. Be mindful by paying attention and when the thought occurs to you how much you love where you are or what you are doing, be intentional and express it somehow!
