Own it!

Nothing disempowers you like blame. It causes you to forget that you are the creator of your experience, that you create your thoughts and emotions. Healing begins with ownership. If you can't own it, you can't heal it.

This doesn't mean everything is your fault. It's not about fault. It is about how things work. We create our own pain. Knowing this, it gives you the power to heal, to feel better. As long as it is someone else's fault, there is nothing you can do to help yourself.

You have created pain for yourself, and you can also create joy. It begins with owning your self.

Self-Love

Next time your ego takes charge and you do or say things you wish you hadn't, instead of beating yourself up, say this to yourself: "Aren't you adorable! You're worrying about that, but l love you unconditionally, whether you are coming from your ego or from your Higher Self. You are beautiful and you are aware. Thank you for that."

Real self-love will lift you to the heights, while self-blaming will take you into the downward spiral. We've convinced ourselves that self-condemnation is the way to improve. It isn't. You don't need to change yourself. You only need to love yourself.
