second KEY POINT
Cherish your relationship with… yourself
The way you see yourself will determine how the rest of the world sees you. Therefore, you must be your own cheerleader. Every day, in the morning, stand in front of a mirror and appreciate your being. When you celebrate yourself, you start a chain reaction that builds the momentum you need to achieve the results you seek in your marriage, job, parenting, friendship, and even health.Your perception of others depends on how you see yourself. If you trash yourself, you will eventually trash others as well. So, you must end this self-sabotaging behavior and begin to encourage instead of demeaning yourself. By repeating actions that reinforce belief in yourself, you will reprogram your subconscious mind to replace thoughts that take you down with thoughts that lift you up. Instead of jealousy, anxiety, fear, and doubt, you start to have faith, hope, love, and compassion.Stand in front of a mirror and give yourself a high five. You can take a picture of you doing the high five to carry during the day as a reminder that you can do the impossible. Giving yourself a high five gives you validation. It doesn’t matter where you are or the challenge you’re facing; you can give yourself a high five free of charge. Instantly, you’ll notice that you wear a smile, have a positive mood, and begin to take action to surmount your challenges.
