There was a time when I allowed my horrible experience of racism (in the State of Mississippi) to drive me down the path of self-loathing. What turned me around was: one day I had the image of myself being a newborn baby and my mother was gazing down at me with pleasure and love. She treasured me not even for what I was or could become but she treasured me just because she did and still does. That is the way my Creator God feels about me. I now find my self-love and sense of worth in my Heavenly Father. Jesus looks at me as his treasured creation and for this reason I can accept and love myself.
Thank you, Bryan, for sharing.<br/><br/>

It has only been since I found this site, and your posts in general, that I have truly come to understand how to find, heal, accept, and be, my authentically good self. This is yet another post that provides for me specific tools that I will now use for the rest of my life to maintain the new found joy I have discovered in myself. Thank you once again, Bryan Eden!<br/><br/>

I love the newborn analogy, and you are so right!  We beat ourselves up and tear ourselves down constantly, but if we could learn to love ourselves like a small child... that would feel beautiful!  I often encourage my clients to literally begin speaking to themselves as if they were consoling a small child.  It makes such a healthy difference in our attitude.  And I like your alter idea as well.  What better way to remember how beautiful we really are.

Thank you!

The hurt,scared sad, lonely part of us originated very early in life -- so speaking to it with the tenderness and love that one would use with a little child is both appropriate and very effective. And yes -- comparing our own innocence, worth and beauty to that of a newborn really can "jolt" people out of the habitual self-criticism into a moment of awakening to their "rightness". We are still the beings whonwere born as those perfect children. What has changed? NOTHING! We have simply had experiences that have taught us guilt and shame. And been to doubt our own beauty, our own feelings -- the rightness of our authentic selves. All of this can be reversed with a deep commitment to loving and believing in yourself. This is why my posts always center on that topic -- because without that self-love peace and happiness always elude us. And with it, paradise is regained.<br/><br/>
