Creating Balance Through Positive Self Talk

   By Deborah Koppel Mitchell

"Love your Self first," we're told. But what does that really feel like? How do you know when you are there?


The goal is to love the Self as it is in the moment, free of judgment and opinions. Responding from a place of benevolence towards ALL the aspects of your Self. The "Whole Self."

I have found that the way I am being treated in my relationships is a pretty good indicator of how I am feeling about my Self. For example, when I am attracting criticism, if I take the time to check-in with my own inner dialog, there's a good chance that I have some pretty heavy hitting stuff that I am slinging at my Self. We have heard
from many a wise one that Life responds to what we are thinking and feeling. Stepping into the observer mode
can be a very loving action. Positive "Self Talk" and taking good care of our selves creates harmony, attracts love and loving behavior.

I am finding that even with our recent move to the slower, less pressured pace of Santa Fe, from Los Angeles, I
am still feeling challenged with creating the balance necessary to take the best care of my Self, along with my
other responsibilities. What I am experiencing is a dilemma in which many a woman can especially relate to. However, if it is indeed true that life responds to what we think and feel---perhaps what we are striving for in balance and healthful relationships can be attained with a simple shift in perspective. Especially how we are
feeling towards our selves. The decision to be happy, grateful, and in-love with ALL, IS experiencing a balanced, full relationship with Life.

Wishing you a life full of much love, peace and harmony,
- Deb
