Installing the "I love myself program"

I love me because I am me.
Inner beauty resides within me.
I’m the light of love that radiates warmth and self-acceptance.
And the person I’m most comfortable with is me.

Affirmations help to seal the ethereal field from emitting negative and doubtful energies. By doing affirmations, you are affirming yourself, the way you feel about who you are, and the imperfections you think you possess. An affirmation sends your message to the universe, and the universe listens and responds with positive manifestations.

When you do an affirmation, you must believe in what you are affirming. Make sure your affirmations are sincere and from the heart, and that you believe in what you are saying without fear. You are worthy to affirm your wishes, because you want to love and trust yourself and accept who you are.

An affirmation works in the same way as positive visualization. By speaking aloud an affirmation, you trigger your subconscious mind into thinking and feeling positively about yourself. More often than not, people tend to speak and think more negative words and ideas than they do positive ones. Affirming a positive thought enables us to achieve what we want. An affirmation may work straightaway or it may take some time to process through the subconscious mind; it depends on how long you’ve been thinking negatively about yourself.

Affirmations should be said first thing in the morning, when your mind is at its freshest and not yet polluted with negative thoughts, and they should also be said at any time you wish during the day. Repeat an affirmation right after you think negatively about yourself. Remember that the more you say your affirmations, the more chances you’ll have to start thinking positively about yourself. Think of your mind as a computer; you’re installing an “I love myself” program and uninstalling an “I don’t like myself” program. Always remember to affirm in the present tense. You want to love yourself now and for always, not just in the future, because you want romantic love and you want it now.
