A new year—a clean slate of sorts. What could be more exciting than that? But choosing resolutions gets many of us searching through our vast files of self-judgments to determine which of our countless deplorable faults most urgently need addressing. And I have to tell you, that is a poor starting position for a clean slate.
So let me make it easy for you. Choose self-love. Choose that and nothing else because that one resolution will take care of anything else you’ve got going on. I guarantee you—if you vow to master self-love in 2012, every one of your goals and desires will manifest beyond your wildest dreams.
When you sincerely, unconditionally love yourself, you instinctively feel unconditional love for others. You automatically, intuitively, and joyfully do the things that easily bring about the fruition of your greatest wishes and your juiciest, richest life. You become vastly better equipped to serve your loved ones and your community. Take a look at the resolutions you were considering for this year and it will quickly become apparent that if you were already truly, deeply loving you, these things would already be in your life.
As anyone who’s attempted genuine self-love will attest, it’s not easy to reach and maintain. It usually requires breaking lots of deeply-entrenched habits. But it is achievable, and getting there is half the fun.
You’re already on the Heal Your Life.com site, so you’re off to a great start. Come here every day. If your original resolution list was more than a page long, you may need to come here twice a day. Take courses that teach you how to love yourself. I shamelessly invite you to visit my website to find out about mine, but there are lots of other fabulous ones, too.
Take a moment to imagine how fantastic it would feel to be 100% yourself in every situation. To love and trust yourself enough to be full-on you, doing what you love and connecting deeply with people who are perfect vibrational matches for you . . . because you’ve attracted them to you simply by being the unique, perfect person you already are.
Every single day you wake up could be a clean-slate day if you made the conscious commitment to seeing it that way. You are meant to love your life and your self. You are powerful beyond your imagining. Make 2012 the year that you claim your freedom, your passion, your you.
