"The Success Camp gave me a chance to learn what I really want in life and helped me make plans to get it.  I wish everyone I know would attend this"
Dear Friends,

Just in case you haven't noticed, the love holiday is right around the corner now.  The stores are filled with Valentine's Day gifts for everyone on your list.  And if the retail world would have their way, your list would include everyone you know.  Now don't get me wrong, I think it's a great idea to let our loved ones know how we feel, not just on Valentine's Day but every day. 

But today I want you to consider the one person who really needs your love and appreciation and seldom gets enough, and that is YOU!

If you're in the habit of keeping a daily to-do list, odds are you can look back and notice that your entries list all the things you need to do to satisfy the boss, the clients, your family, and friends.  You might also be in the habit of keeping notes regarding what needs to be done to maintain your home, your car, and your other possessions.  Many of us even manage to find the time to ensure that our pets are well taken care of, and that they have "play dates". 

How about yourself?  When was the last time you took the time to look yourself in the mirror and appreciate yourself for all the things you do on any given day?  When was the last time you gave yourself approval for your efforts?  I think we're big on giving ourselves negative feedback about what we think we screwed up or failed to do, but we seldom offer ourselves the love, encouragement, and support we give to others.

In his Success Principles workshops, topic expert, Jack Canfield encourages us to do what he calls the "mirror exercise" each evening.  It's an exercise best done in private.  At the end of each day, stand in front of a mirror, and go over your day's activities, noting the efforts you took, and celebrate your successes, no matter how small.  Next, examine the areas where you may have fallen short of your goals and forgive yourself for any mistakes.

This may seem like a silly exercise to you.  I promise you this, it is a powerful force, well beyond your expectations.   We often make the mistake of looking outward for the love each of us desires.  And our ability to find that love by offering love to others is moderated by our ability to really love ourselves.  If you're like me, you've probably watched The Wizard of Oz many times in your lifetime and considered it for its entertainment value.  But I think there was a valuable lesson in the movie that is often overlooked.  At the very end, once the good witch tells Dorothy the ruby slippers will take her and Toto home, Dorothy wakes up in her own bed and tells Auntie Em that she learned a valuable lesson during her trip to Oz.  She learned that if she ever went looking for her heart's desire again, she never go further than her own back yard.  If it wasn't there, then she would realize that she never really lost it to begin with.  I think Dorothy was one smart little girl and that the "back yard" she was referring to was herself.  We are each the "home" we look for. We are the love we look for, it's right there within us.  We never lose it - what we lose is the awareness of it.  So get in touch with and learn to love yourself for the special and unique person you are. Learn to honor yourself by making choices that respect your mind, body, and spirit.  Listen to your intuition.  Follow your dreams, and indulge yourself, just a bit, each and every day.

Make a list of the things you love to do. In this tighter economy, you might be worried about taking on any additional spending.  But you don't have to break the budget to indulge yourself with something you crave.  Sometimes, allowing ourselves an hour of reading, twenty minutes of meditation or exercise, or a glass of wine at the end of a long day is enough to make us feel special and content.  Aim to work in one thing from your list each day, or at least several times a week. 

You'll find that by filling your own reservoir you have so much more love to give to others, and you won't be nearly so concerned with what you get in return. Try loving and honoring yourself for the next 30 days, and you just might feel that you've landed somewhere over the rainbow!


Wishing you Love, Continued Success, and Abundance!

Maryanne

Have a great month and I'll be back in March with another little lesson for life's journey!
