I accept myself as I am...

In spirit, we are all perfect, whole and complete. God is Whole, Perfect and Complete. We are all made in the image of God.

In the physical world we perceive ourselves to be less than whole. Through affirmations we can remind ourselves that we are whole, perfect and complete. We were made that way. We examine ourselves until we see flaws. If there are flaws it's because of our perception.

In order for us to find happiness with ourselves, we must accept ourselves for who we are at the moment. I believe it is in our nature to be the best that we can be. So, it is perfectly alright to improve one's body and mind. To want to improve ourselves is not because there is something wrong with us; it is because we want the highest and best for ourselves. Accepting who we are is essential to loving ourselves.

Meditation: contemplate on, God made me in his image., I accept myself as I am, right now. Take 3 deep breaths then go into the silence for at least 3 minutes. Lovely LadyFran
