Love Yourself

Loving yourself is not an easy thing to do when you've had no practice at it. Affirmations have no meaning - and no effect - when the words you're spouting aren't true. I love myself - I love myself - I love myself - bringing meaning to that phrase is the key.

Intrinsic value: the "All God's Children" idea - you're the child of God, and you have intrinsic value that is more than enough to allow you to love yourself.

Your duty: it's your job to love yourself. God's plan is that you love yourself.

Preponderance of the evidence: all in all, you've done more good things than bad, so you are entitled to love yourself.

Means to an end: by loving yourself, you will have wonderful things happen to you, so love yourself.

Hmmmm.
