It was easy for me to look myself in the eye and say "I accept you" and "I believe in you" but it was harder and more uncomfortable for me to say "And I love you". I'm not entirely sure why that was. Maybe there are certain things that, if I really do love myself, I would be doing for myself - but I'm not - so maybe it was a little hard to look myself in the eye knowing I'm not doing what I should be doing for myself . . . a little guilty maybe? Hmph. Not sure I like that one bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-46316528503688056422008-02-17T11:00:00.000-06:002008-02-17T11:00:00.000-06:00i'm with the bookworm. What!? i LOVE you? I ACCEPT...i'm with the bookworm. What!? i LOVE you? I ACCEPT you? that would ruin my whole daily routine of bashing myself and "knowing" what other people will think when they see me. I haven't tried this. like the wizard of oz, i like to stay behind the curtain. i am going to try this, though, when it gets dark and all i can see of myself is an outline. or, i will do it in my scrying mirror for who knows what kind of results, probably scary. i rarely have a problem loving and accepting other people, but when it comes to myself i have the most rigid standards ever. I applaud all of you that could do this excercise.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02431703187468855688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-20368145464655614672008-02-16T14:18:00.000-06:002008-02-16T14:18:00.000-06:00Looking in the mirror wasn't as hard as looking in...Looking in the mirror wasn't as hard as looking into the heart. The fat and wrinkles are somehow much more forgivable than the things waiting for me inside. <BR/><BR/>As I faced myself, I wondered if I could really say to that inner me, the one with all the mistakes, scars, and open wounds, "I accept you, I believe in you, and I love you." But as I looked into the darkest parts of my eyes, I realized that all that was there was a beautiful girl, one with an open and pulsing heart, naked, in need of pure healing love. <BR/><BR/>I opened my heart to that girl, and as my eyes filled with tears, I said, "I accept you, I believe in you, and I love you." It felt good... real... like a prayer. As I loved myself, I felt God's love flowing through me. <BR/><BR/>The ultimate realization- I am not alone. I am loved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-26401364437493055302008-02-16T12:20:00.000-06:002008-02-16T12:20:00.000-06:00Ok, so I did it... and it was easier than I though...Ok, so I did it... and it was easier than I thought it would be but it didn't have the desired effect... and maybe that's why it was easier... I don't know.<BR/><BR/>I looked at myself and thought.. OMG you look old, and then I said I accept you, I believe in you and I love you... and the whole time in the back of my mind I'm thinking how old I look and how I need to lose weight and start eating properly and get outside more often and get more excercise... and how I'm really a let down and a disappointment to myself and oh by the way "I accept you and I believe in you and I love you" breathe... saying it again and again... but not believing a word of it.. <BR/><BR/>So, for me it was more an exercise in futililty than anything else.Shirley Twofeathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911925862486389242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-35421757614825166522008-02-16T11:47:00.000-06:002008-02-16T11:47:00.000-06:00I'm trying to get up the courage to do it...

Look at myself in the mirror and say...Oh MY GOD!!!! Look at myself in the mirror and say that stuff are you kidding. LOL As long as I don't have to be naked while I do it I might be able to get through it or if I tape a picture of someone else over the mirror. Seriously this is going to be hard. Good luck everyone.the gay bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04224013104945438793noreply@blogger.com
