Blimey. I certainly do!

"Ohh, why did you say that! Now she thinks you’re a total Muppet. Idiot!"

"My nose is definitely out of line. I look terrible!"

"I just can’t quit. I constantly fall into the same patterns. I’m a real ass!"

It’s crazy, and it’s continuous!

Well, today I’d like to suggest something that most people will have never considered.

Just for the moment, can you try giving yourself praise and thanks for beating yourself up so well?

After all, you’re incredibly good at it… Right?

Of course you are!

So, congratulate yourself on doing it so well. It really is quite the accomplishment to do it to the extent you do, right?

Of course!

Now, why not try congratulating yourself on being as flawed as you are?

We’ve all got issues that we let hold us back. So, just for the moment, give yourself praise for being as wonderfully flawed as you are.

You hate all of those flaws, right? Well, just give yourself praise and approval for holding onto that feeling of hatred and resistance for so long.

You’ve been doing wonderfully so far in your life. Only a really strong person would hold on to a strong feeling like that for so long!

And now, just for the moment, could you give yourself some approval for just being as perfect and as flawed as you are?

Maybe just because it’s a very smart thing to do.

Take this exercise seriously.

Most people have never taken the time out to honestly give themselves approval for being both the perfect and flawed being they are.

By praising your negative emotions, rather than attempting to suppress them - we feel so much better, and become more in harmony with the beautiful duality that life provides.

Enjoy your day - and give yourself approval even if you don’t!

God is Blessing You, Right Now - Flaws and All!
