Treat Yourself Like Someone You Love
When Warren Buffet was asked by a TV interviewer about how he measures wealth, he answered, “By how much love a person has in their life.” He said that he knows a lot of high net worth people who have few successful relationships. For Buffett, these people are not wealthy.
I agree. . In Build Your Money Muscles I say that when you feel loved, accepted, acknowledge, and appreciated, you’ll be open to greater cash flow. And experiencing these feelings depends on your relationship with yourself and others.
Feeling loved, accepted, acknowledge, and appreciated by others begins with loving, accepting, acknowledging, and appreciating yourself. Many people I talk to admit that their internal dialog is more critical than loving. When this is your internal state, people will reflect criticism rather than love, and it is difficult to generate acknowledgement in the form of money.
To alter your internal dialog, start focusing on treating yourself like someone you love. Here are some suggestions:
- Listen to how you talk to yourself. When the critical voice comes into your head, tell it, “Thanks for sharing, but we don’t talk like that any more.” Take a deep breath and tell yourself that you are a good girl/boy, followed by your power word.
- Stand close to a mirror and look directly into your eyes. Say outloud, “(Your Name), I unconditionally love and accept you exactly the way you are.” This can bring up a lot of emotion, don’t try to hold it back.
- Buy yourself some flowers.
- Stroke your body gently.
- Give your body what it needs to function well.
You can also use the following statements with your power word to help overcome your resistance to loving yourself:
- I give myself permission to treat myself like someone I love. Power word.
- I release my resistance to loving myself. Power word.
- I am willing to treat myself in a loving way. Power word.
- I am willing to speak kindly to myself.Power word.
- I want to love myself. Power word.
- I am lovable. Power word.
Instructions for the power word
