little odd at first but when you get into it, it really starts to feel great. The
list has to be more than 20 items. If you can’t find 20 characteristics
which are great about yourself, you are not trying hard enough. Keep in
mind that you are wonderfully unique. There is nobody else like you on
this planet. So there has got to be at the very minimum 20 fantastic things
about yourself to list. If you get really stumped, ask a close friend. After
you’ve got your list, post it somewhere so you can see it on a daily basis.
Start with “I am…” and read it at least once a day.

Become your own cheerleader. If you don’t love and appreciate yourself,
who will? Stop all criticisms immediately and start complimenting your-
self. When you do something right, praise yourself by telling yourself
that you did an awesome job. If you do something that you are not proud
of, plainly tell yourself that it was a learning experience. Never under
any circumstance criticize yourself because it will not change you for the
good. It actually makes things worse by adding negative energy to you.
If there is something you’d like to improve, simply work to change it, but
never judge or condemn it, we’ve all got a story and that is really what
makes us all special.

How did loving herself help Gina find the perfect relationship for her? It
turned her into a quality individual. Being a quality individual has little to
do with the car you drive or the education you have. It’s your confidence
that shines though. When you love yourself, you show anyone who will get
into a relationship with you that you deserve the best because you are the
best. If your potential mate loves themselves they will immediately see the
value in you. And just like they say ‘game recognizes game’, quality people
recognize other quality people.
I know that it can sometimes be difficult especially when you’re getting out
of a relationship, but giving yourself the gift of love can be the best thing
that you do for yourself or your future mate. But if you do not know where
this love is going to come from and you are feeling down and out and cannot
find the strength to love yourself you can get it from a higher power.
