Love Yourself: Heal Your Past

Heal your past to better love yourself. What do I mean by that? We should know that it is vital to love ourselves, right now, today, the way we are. And yet, we — better than anyone — know the flaws we have, the issues we carry which make it difficult to love ourselves.

How do we fix those flaws? How do you heal your past to love ourselves? It’s a fairly simple process, which I outline in this brief video:

What steps do we need to take to love ourselves?

We all recognize that sometimes it is hard for us to love ourselves. After all, we know our mistakes, we know our weaknesses, we know our flaws better than anyone. So what can we do about that?

We need to go through everything that we don’t like about ourselves, or everything in our life which seems to be a negative.  It’s important to write these down. As we write these down, we can decide: “OK, this is something that is just the way I am. And because it’s just the way I am, I’m actually okay with it. I like this — I LOVE this — about me! So I’m going to leave it!”

Heal Your Past: Fix What You Don’t Like About You

With everything else, everything we don’t like, as we write it down, we can also write down a plan to fix it, to change it, to remove it from our lives.

As you do those things, as you heal your past, you will begin to love yourself more!

Even more importantly, we can use this tool to look back at our past and actually rewrite our history. Heal your past: If we didn’t feel loved as a child, we can re-look at that and say “Wait, I WAS loved as a child!” Heal your past: If something bad happened in our past, we can rewrite it or change it to have it be something good, or at least not as bad.

Why can we do that? Because the past no longer exists! It’s not there any more, so we can make how we deal with the past — including what it is to us — whatever we want it to be! That is how you heal your past. We can also recognize that everything we did, everything that happened to us, every response we had, made us into the fantastic person we are NOW. And we can look at that person and LOVE ourself for who we are right now!

As we love ourself, then we are able to create our life that matches how fantastic we are!  Find out more at my website: UpgradingLife.com
