The Power of Words " In the beginning was the
word...." Words are power, words are thoughts
given form, words, words, words, be they
positive or negative effect this world. Words
shape our personal power, as the words we use
are part of us. So, let's choose our words
carefully, as they have the power for creation
or destruction. If we use words like swords,
to harm ourselves or others, we will become
victims of adverse situations. If we use words
to focus on the good in ourselves and others,
then words can create a prosperous and happy
life. Remember... what goes around, comes
around, what we say, comes right back, so let's
take responsibility for what we say, O.K.!  (C)

how to love yourself 1. STOP ALL CRITICISMS
Refuse to criticize yourself. Accept yourself
exactly as you are. Everybody changes. When you
criticize yourself, your changes are negative.
When you approve of yourself, your changes are
positives. 2. DON'T SCARE YOURSELF Stop
terrorizing yourself with your thoughts. It's a
dreadful way to live. Find a mental image that
gives you pleasure and immediately switch your
scary thoughts to a pleasure thought. 3. BE
GENTLE AND KIND AND PATIENT Be gentle with
yourself. Be kind to yourself . Be patient with
yourself as yourself as you learn the new ways of
thinking. 4. BE KIND TO YOUR MIND Self hatred
is only hating your own thoughts. Don't hate
yourself for having the thoughts. Gently change
your thoughts. 5. PRAISE YOURSELF Criticism
breaks down the inner spirit. Praise builds it
up. 6. SUPPORT YOURSELF Find ways to support
yourself. Reach out to friends and allow them to
help you. It is being strong to ask for help when
you need it. 7. BE LOVING TO YOUR NEGATIVES
Acknowledge that you created them to fulfill a
need. Now you are finding new positive ways to
fulfill those needs. 8. TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY
Learn about nutrition. Learn about exercise. What
kind of exercise can you enjoy? Cherish and
revere the temple you live in. 9. MIRROR WORK
Look into your eyes often. Express this growing
sense of love you have for yourself. At least
once a day say "I love you - I really love you!"
10. DO IT NOW Don't wait until you get well, or
lose the weight, or get the new job, or the new
relationship. Begin now - do the best you can.

What size is your Comfort Zone?
Stepping out of your comfort zone can be
difficult for people. It can be harder or easier
in different areas of your life.
The circles represent the comfort areas that a
person can have around them. Where the circles
are closer means it is easier for the person to
step out of their comfort zone. While the circles
that are further apart, means it is harder for
the person to step out of their comfort zone.
The circle that is closest to the person is
thicker representing the difficulty of stepping
away from this familiar zone. But once the
person steps out of the first comfort zone, the
circles get thinner representing how easier it is
to step out of one into another.
