Why Perfect Timing is a Myth: Tips for Staying Inspired and Motivated Day in and
Day out! By Inspirational Speaker Josh Hinds
Stop All Criticism - Criticism never changes a thing. Refuse to
criticize yourself. Accept yourself exactly as you are. Everybody
changes. When you criticize yourself, your changes are negative.
When you approve of yourself, your changes are positive.
Don't Scare Yourself - Stop terrorizing yourself with your thoughts.
It's a dreadful way to live. Find a mental image that gives you
pleasure (mine is yellow roses), and immediately switch your
scary thought to a pleasure thought.
Be Gentle And Kind And Patient - Be gentle with yourself. Be kind
to yourself. Be patient with yourself as you learn the new ways of
thinking. Treat yourself as you would someone you really loved.
Be Kind To Your Mind - Self hatred is only hating your own
thoughts. Don't hate yourself for having the thoughts. Gently
change your thoughts.
Praise Yourself - Criticism breaks down the inner spirit. Praise
builds it up. Praise yourself as much as you can. Tell yourself how
well you are doing with every little thing.
Support Yourself - Find ways to support yourself. Reach out to
friends and allow them to help you. It is being strong to ask for help
when you need it.
Be Loving To Your Negatives - Acknowledge that you created
them to fulfill a need. Now, you are finding new, positive ways to
fulfill those needs. So, lovingly release the old negative patterns.
Take Care Of Your Body - Learn about nutrition. What kind of fuel
does your body need to have optimum energy and vitality? Learn
about exercise. What kind of exercise can you enjoy? Cherish and
revere the temple you live in.
Mirror Work - Look into your eyes often. Express this growing
sense of love you have for yourself. Forgive yourself looking into
the mirror. Talk to your parents looking into the mirror. Forgive
them too. At least once a day say: "I love you, I really love you."
Love Yourself .. Do It Now - Don't wait until you get well, or lose the
weight, or get the new job, or the new relationship. Begin now --
and do the best you can.
