The First Three of Twelve Commandments of Self-Love and Appreciation–

1) ‘Stop Being Critical’–Discontinue, finish with being critical with yourself, your loved ones, the government, with anyone, anything, with all living beings, and with material things. I give up criticism. This one act (accomplishment) is restorative for your health, wellbeing, and entire life. Begin with yourself. Once you set your mind to it–if you begin to do the thing you do not want–start anew as soon as you can–the next day, the next hour or moment. Affirm: As I heal from self criticism, I cease criticizing others. I love myself to wholeness, realizing vitalizing life is already within me. I am fully cooperating with bringing well-being forward into manifest reality in all aspects of my selfhood. In thankfulness, Amen.

2) ‘Forgive Yourself Completely’– For everything, for specific things, for all things needing forgiveness. Even if you do not know what you need to forgive, forgive the hidden un-forgiveness.  I make forgiveness complete in me not leaving anything out. There is no unforgivable sin except to shut God’s love out. And we are even forgiven for that! Hence, there is no unforgivable sin.

Divine Love is in us and as us, the very fabric and stability of our being. Love is free in the air we breath. We are Love in manifestation and it is wholesome to live as the Love we each are. Affirm: As I open to fully forgiving myself; it is easier to forgive others. Forgiving myself fills me with love. I am renewed within and in outer wondrous ways. I trust the love of God working through me to forgive myself and also to forgive all unforgiving thoughts whether toward self or others. I forgive completely through the grace and power of Divine Love in me, Amen. 

3) ‘I Stop with Scaring Myself’–I discontinue with giving any energy or attention to false, negative images, thoughts, words or phrases. I eliminate them from my mind and heart by withdrawing attention from negativism and saying No to disparagement. I do not fight negation or false appearances, I allow them to dissipate by not giving them energy or focus.

I create a mental pictured exercise of a big eraser, wiping completely away negativity or falsity. In addition, I visualize white light transforming falsehood into neutral and unformed substance once again. Thus, I place positive up-building images, mental pictures, words and phrases in the place of any conflicting and negative ones. Affirm: I accept only positive thoughts and images, visions and mind pictures. Negativity cannot hurt or touch me. I am God’s beloved living in a circle of divine light, faith, love, and wholesome creative energy, Amen.
