withrepparttar constant, abiding, unconditional acceptance that we all crave. ~ Tips for Improvement ~ Tip #1 - Every time you look inrepparttar 145999 mirror, look yourself in repparttar 146000 eye. Stay there, don’t look away. (Some people have trouble doing even this much.) Now, smile at yourself with just your eyes, nothing phony. Acknowledgerepparttar 146001 face inrepparttar 146002 glass as a dear friend, whose opinion you admire, whose support you feel privileged to have. THIS isrepparttar 146003 person you most want on your side. Not repparttar 146004 big “they” out there, as in “What will ‘they’ think?” It is now: “What do YOU think, my dear friend inrepparttar 146005 looking glass?” Tip #2 – Immediately drop any negative, hateful or belittling remarks to yourself. This includes any unspoken comments. For example, do you ever look at yourself inrepparttar 146006 mirror and groan? I’m sorry, but I must tell you that this is just plain rude! How do you think you would react if someone else did that to you? Wouldn’t you be insulted and hurt and just a little appalled at that person’s bad manners? And would it ever occur to you to treat one of your friends that way? You wouldn’t do it! You would realize how unkind and tactless such a reaction would be. You would probably look at your friend with compassionate concern. You might wonder if he is sick or if he’s been getting enough rest, but you certainly wouldn’t look at him and say, “Ugh!” So why is it that people let themselves get away with treating themselves so shabbily? Perhaps no one has ever pointed this out to you before. Or maybe you have never given yourself permission to treat yourself gently before.

Now that you’ve been made aware of this, I trust you will find it easy and highly desirable to make these simple changes. And these two changes alone will result in some profound internal shifts. Sorepparttar 146007 new order ofrepparttar 146008 day is this: If it’s not something that you would say or do to a cherished friend, then you do not say or do it to yourself, period. I hope that you will give these techniques a serious workout . Your emotional well-being is well worthrepparttar 146009 effort. It isrepparttar 146010 foundation upon which all else will be built.

When we go delving into our past to determinerepparttar 145998 underlying dynamics of our psyches,repparttar 145999 goal is: - Not to cast blame - Not to pass judgment - Not to fob off our responsibility onto someone else We’re not looking for what is good or what is bad, but simply what IS.
