and things around me and my confused brothers and sisters...
and GOD!

You can tell in my walk, the confidence I have when I look into someone's eyes,
the smiles that I give and big time in how contagious my laughter is from
such a place of deep joy.
How do I know this? Because I was not this way for decades.
The change is like night and day.
This, of course is not ego as some interpret..it is just fact, by the grace of God.

Confidence is happiness....how does one get this confidence in themselves that
you may call self love?

They must know who they are...for me this is imperative at every moment.
And you must believe in your subconscious mind profoundly who you are...not just 'say'
some affirmation 25 xs in a day.

So, this is who I know I am...I also know this is who you are ...but,
it will be up to you to discover this:

I am the daughter, the child, a princess of the most Magnificent Spirit..
a King..I am adored by this Being..I am His joy...as if I was a 2 year old being tossed into the air
and given every thing my heart desires being spoiled rotten.

This is who I am...this is who I am in relation to my Father.
and
just as I love a puppy, a lover, my grandma when they are sweaty and sick, dirty and down...this is how my Creator adores me.
He doesn't see my messiness...nothing...Why?
Because He adores me so much ...that more than a parent wants to stay up
all night with their newborn and watch them breathe and jerk in their sleep...He
actually is inside me breathing me and digesting my food and turning oxygen into something all my cells can use.
This is how close He wants to be with me.

So I have the confidence of giving to my Father God what He wants...
my love, acknowledgment, appreciation and my attention.

So there is a fulfillment of soul purpose.
There is no confusion, worry or self doubt of any kind .

I am loved and I give love in return.
I am holding my Father's hand...I am under the umbrella of His wishes for me,
doing what pleases Him...which is loving Him.

THIS is how I have attained self love, confidence, power and peace.

So an affirmation for someone in your position would be, could be a prayer...
"Lord, show me, give me, bestow to me Your Divine Love,
which is what will transform me into the person I want to be...
that I am destined to be...who I really am."

That's my input. And I really love myself...and meditate a lot!

be aware that some brands of subliminals are better then others so you may want to ask around and find which ones others have had best success with. I used to at times sleep with subliminals playing. One brand I borrowed from a friend (I forget now which brand) worked in as little as about 5 days for me (this one had the subliminal messages super speeded up on it).. another brand their CDs seemed to take 6 weeks of a lot of playing for their various ones to work on me.

There is also some brands which are a combo of self hypnosis and subliminals at same time

I will have to try that out! :)

What was the self love affirmation you used previously and what makes you think it didn't work?

Self love is something we are all here to learn more about.

What does self love mean to you? How do you think your life will be different when you do self love?
