Hey, thanks for your support for my first attempt of story-telling. Since the response was pretty encouraging, I will make my second attempt real soon. I have a story that I recall in mind now. But before that, I saw this short article from an unknown souce, which has been lying around on my laptop. I found it today while going through my folders. Guess what? It's a short list of tips in loving ourselves. That's right...after reading, I decided to love myself more. How can I be such a hypocrite if I'm not practicing what I said here right? Thus I'm starting to treat mysef better by getting some decent sleep tonight. Oops, nope, not tonight, should be this morning. Hey it's close to 1.30am now. I'm really tired with less than 8 hours of sleep all together in two days. I am deprived of sleep. I need sleep. So I'll save my story for tomorrow. I promise. Meanwhile, have a read on the following on the tips on loving ourselves more. Happy reading!

Tips on loving yourself more....
********************************
 
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 sunflower), and immediately switch the 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.
 
Your presence is a present to the world. You are unique and one of a kind.
Your life can be what you want it to be. Count your blessings and not your
troubles. Do not envy and create a devil of yourself. Life is not a race,
stop competing with others aimlessly. Value yourself and conquer any form
of self-doubt and you will be amoured against any other person criticism
or doubt.
