Being kind to yourself is a healthy habit to get into.
Work to release feelings of regret, angst, fear and anxiety, and instead fill up with love, joy, possibility, and spirit. For example, does your current morning prayer or meditation include sipping coffee/tea while berating yourself for a goof-up at work, worrying about something that happened between you and a friend, or giving yourself guilt because of that chocolate cake you ate? If someone else were beating up on you the way you beat up on yourself, you'd fight back. In this case, you have to fight the urge to defeat your own purpose in life and replace repetitive, negative thinking with that which uplifts you heart and soul.
THE FIRST STEP
Begin with a prayer to be filled with Divine Presence and possibility--positive, hopeful thoughts and ideas. Create a new intention that if you slip into negative self-talk you will switch your focus. Try a special mantra or affirmation that can redirect your energy. Some possibilities to get you started: I am one with God. I am a good person, Love fills my being, I radiate good energy and thoughts.
