18/09/06 LEARNING TO LOVE YOURSELF

I have been thinking how a lot of bigger people find it difficult to appraise themselves, often impossible. They also tend to help other people as a distration for their own difficulties and troubles. So.. todays thought provoking subject has been this.

I have a large amount of time at the minute to think about things... to consider the effects they have on my life. This large amount of time has probably been created by the no longer required cooking and eating ritual throughout the day!

So... On Minimins; today I began a thread encouraging people to learn to love themself... I thought it would be a good way of getting us all to commit in writing and sharing with others our self appreciation. I knew that this would be something that I would find challenging; though I feel that it is an important thing to learn to do; To love ourself!

We care soooo much about the people around us; We would do
anything for them. Our biggest trouble is that we are less willing
to be so honourable in caring and looking after ourselves.

So.. my thread began

Things to love about myself:
1) That I am an extremely compassionate person

As time progresses I hope that my self appreciation will also develop. That is the theory.

There is no point going through all this to get thinner only to let ourselves down by not appreciating it and understanding why we deserve it!
