I approve of me 
Say out loud, “I approve of me.” When you say that, does it feel true or not true?
We always find the evidence necessary to support our view point. So, we can either search for reasons to approve of ourselves, or we can search for reasons to disapprove of ourselves. Most people are searching for reasons to disapprove of themselves.
Instead, why not search for reasons to approve of ourselves. We can celebrate our wins and successes. We can pat ourselves on the back.
At its deepest level, self-approval has nothing to do with what we did or didn’t do. It is a state of being. ~ I’m not my actions, I’m not my results. I am something far greater than those things. However, we can help ourselves move to this state of being by celebrating our actions, by giving ourselves credit for the things we have done and accomplished.
As we do this, approving of ourselves starts to be a habit and then soon we don’t even need a reason to approve of ourselves.
When we naturally approve of ourselves, life changes. When we are in this state, life just seems to work.
Much Love,
Jonathan
