Now, there’s an idea worth exploring.\u00a0 And to help you explore, Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a>, the patron saint of permanent fat removal, asked me to pass these tips along to you!<\/p>\n

Six Succulent Ways to Exercise Your Self-Love Muscle<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Write out a list of all the things you like about yourself.\u00a0 If you are short on ideas, ask a couple of good and kind friends.\u00a0 (Caution: steer clear of critical relatives.)<\/li>\n
  2. To get your day headed in the right direction, start the morning with a few self-loving affirmations.\u00a0 Write them first and then say them aloud.\u00a0 \u201cMy loving energy flows through me and out into the universe, connecting with all the Gods and Goddesses of love.\u201d (Okay, a little over the top. I like a touch of drama.)<\/li>\n
  3. Every night jot down three things that you are grateful for.
    \n\u201cI am grateful that I love myself.\u201d<\/li>\n
  4. Praise and compliment yourself as often as possible. Criticism is soul crushing. Praise builds.\u00a0 \u201cWow, that chocolate smoothie I just whipped up was awesome.\u00a0 I am great.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Or, how about, “Girlfriend, look at yourself in those tight-ass jeans.\u201d<\/li>\n
  5. Look into the mirror and say, “Hello Self, I Love You!”<\/li>\n
  6. And if, by chance, you\u2019ve fallen off the wagon and you\u2019re beating yourself up, then practice forgiveness.\u00a0 You are only human.\u00a0 Humans make mistakes.\u00a0\u00a0 Repeat Our Lady of Weight Loss’s mantra:\u00a0 All Is Forgiven, Move On!<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
