Tell Me 10 Things You Love About Yourself! (And Access Our Body Enlightenment Program for FREE!)
- by Tera Warner
I’ve always believed that money should never stand in the way of a woman and her health. That’s why I’ve made it a policy in my company that ANY woman, regardless of what her purse strings tell her, can access any of our programs provided that she is willing to invest some kind of reciprocal time, attention and energy in the form of an exchange. Many women from around the world have contacted us about our work exchange opportunities and have moved on to become close friends and team members because of this
Coming up soon is another round of our Body Enlightenment Be Healthy program. This program is our foundation program in Body Enlightenment and takes women through the 5 pillars getting them feeling FABULOUS, FIT, Healthy and more confident than ever. In order to make this accessible to anyone, here’s a little game we came up with and a way for you to access this program for free. Read on below to find out what it takes.
How To Improve Your Self-Confidence and Rewire Your Body Image
Recently, I did an interview with Carol Look, “Why You’ll Never Get Thin if You Feel Fat.” This was a fabulous interview and loaded with inspiration and kick-butt energy for all those who have ever struggled with carrying excess weight, or just having a poor self-image. You could lock a person who has a poor self-image in a room with no food for 30 days, and they would still gain weight. It’s not about food, it’s about energy! On that call, Carol shared the two most important things you need to do to improve your self-confidence and rewire your body image:
1. Lower Your Resistance
Your resistance is how you resist the things you want and are able to create for yourself. Things like limiting beliefs and negative thoughts: “I can’t, I won’t, I shouldn’t, I’m not allowed to, I’m too big.” TAPPING is Carol’s favourite way of handling these and you can listen to her interview for a few live examples of how that works.
2. Raise Your Vibration
Nothing will change in your body, until you change your vibration and your energy. You can put yourself in a better mood about anything. If you hear yourself say, “but I can’t get in a better mood about my body,” then change topics. You need to change your vibrations – change your energy – and that’s how you create the ‘success’ you’re looking for with your body.
Carol insisted that one of the most powerful tools, and her favorite ways of improving energy is to start by making a list of “10 Things I Love About Myself,” and as mentioned above, when that’s tough, then “10 Things That Are Going Well.” Now, here’s a little idea about how we can use this concept as a way of earning access to our original 30-Day Body Enlightenment program:
Here’s What You Have To Do to Access the Body Enlightenment Program for Free:
I know there are a lot of people who would like to access our programs but who cannot necessarily afford it. If I just give away the program, I’ll invalidate those who have invested, and I’ll also invalidate myself, the program and the work that has gone into it and will continue to go into it. THIS IS NOT A LOW-SUPPORT PROGRAM!!! This isn’t just an e-book we pass to you and then leave you to fend for yourself. We are giving you a LIFETIME of access to this program and we’ll be there every step of the way doing whatever we can to assure you make it through and stick with it long after the 30-days are over.
In the comment section below, write a list of “10 Things I Love About Myself/10 Things That Are Great About Me.” (Which means YOU, right. Not me. It’s 10 things you love about yourself! If you do it every day for 30 days, we’ll give you access to the Body Enlightenment program for FREE!!
30 days in a row. 300 in your pocket. Well, $297 to be precise.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS:
Post your list of 10 things below in the comment section of the blog. Then come back here EVERY day for 10 days and post it again, and again, and again. BE SURE TO POST YOUR COMMENTS AS A REPLY TO YOUR ORIGINAL COMMENT SO THEY ALL LINE UP EASILY, PLEASE! 
With over 4000 comments already, you can see this could be messy, so please help us and you keep track of your entries by posting them as replies to your original entry!
Also remember that as you see and celebrate all the amazing beautiful things other women are celebrating about themselves take time to acknowledge them and say hello! If you feel nervous or shy doing this, imagine that other women do, too, and help them feel connected! These will be the women you are hanging out with for 30 days, so may as well start building your friendships NOW and encouraging each other to make it to the finish line! If you come here EVERY day for 30 days, and you share 10 things you love about yourself with the WHOLE, WIDE WORLD, then we will absolutely give you access to the Body Enlightenment program for free.
Heck, in 30 days you might not even need Body Enlightenment anymore you’ll be feeling so confident and in love with yourself!
We’re happy to help those who help themselves!
If you have the guts and commitment to put yourself out there and share 10 great things you love about yourself with the world for 30 days, then your courage, commitment and sassy attitude are things we want around, and we’ll do everything we can to support you.
It’s not about money, Honey. It’s about doing what it takes to make the world a better place. It’s about fair exchange and having the courage to love ourselves in spite of the reasons we tell ourselves to do otherwise. So, C’mon! Tell me 10 things you love about yourself and let the games begin!!

Okay! I’ll kick off this party by starting first.
For the record, I woke up this morning and it’s been a crappy, crusty morning. My 8-year old has done everything he cane to make a mess of my space and my head.
I’m sitting here messy haired, frazzled, fed up and and late for a meeting. I’ve been on the verge of tears for the last two hours. So please don’t think I pulled this out of a mega collection sitting on the tips of my fingers.
I had to dig this morning quite a bit myself.
1. I love that in spite of generations of habits telling me to scream at my kids, I don’t. I talk. I wait. I negotiate. I let them learn things the hard way–by missing out and learning how to manage their own times.
2.TODAY!! I got an email from the man who was my very first kiss. It’s a BEAUTIFUL story.. maybe I”ll share it somewhere!! Made my day!
3. I made myself two liters of green juice this morning. RAWKSTAR!!
4. I’m going to Hawaii and taking my kids and going to have an incredible time with some of the most amazing people in the whole, wide world.
5. I made chia pudding for the kids this morning–packed with superfoods.
6. I love that I pulled off getting this email and blog post done.
7. I love that I’m going to get dressed and ready in under 4 minutes and out the door, and that I WILL be on time for our next appointment.
8. I DID IT!! I release Body Enlightenment and it’s beautiful and inspiring and soooooooo what I’ve been wanting and waiting for.
9. I get to look out my window to a forest haven and a dreamy, misty-covered lake and it makes feel SO grateful.
10. I love that I commit to loving myself just a little bit more every day, and that most days, it works!
11. I love that you’re here, helping me make it all happen…

Thanks for the start-off! You are certainly someone to emulate! Thank you so much for that. Feb 13th, after 24-1/2 years of marriage, my husband tells me he wants his freedom. (Feb 14th he gives me a Valentine??!!). This past almost 9 months has been a living hell. I celebrated my 25th anniversary and 53rd birthday alone. Now, I nearly dread the holidays because of my “limbo” status. Sept. 17th he moved out and in with my (no longer) girlfriend of 18+ years. This has been a really really rough time; but at the same time, I have found my way to your website, started attending al-anon meetings, go to counseling weekly, working on my weight and health and started Yoga 3 weeks ago now. So, I think you so much Tera!

Hugs to you! You are doing great things. Keep taking care of yourself!
Reply by Tera on November 2nd, 2011
Believe me, Beauty! There’s better in store for you. I’ve generally observed that the ones doing the leaving are actually doing a service to the ones they leave behind. As tough as that was for me to believe when my husband left me nearly 10 years ago pregnant and with a two year old, life IMMEDIATELY got better when he walked out the door!
So chin up! Shoulders back! Show Life who’s boss!!!!
Love to you!
Tera

Reply by alison on November 15th, 2011
I am sooooooo disappointed! I did the 11 consecutive days posting – then several days before the closing date I emailed customer services as recommended by you Tera – no reply – then Doll – no reply – then you – no reply – then messaged you on facebook – still nothing – then Doll again – finally she replied – all was saved and here was my code to put in – so I did it – but it was no longer valid –
I was too late……….

Wow. This really is a challenge, especially since I need to lose 100 pounds… But I am going to focus now on positive things…
1. I am a good mom. I was even up all night taking care of two of my four kids as they were vomiting and miserable with a stomach virus.
2. I love deeply and am fiercely loyal.
3. I have great empathy for others.
4. I believe in myself and my ability as a singer/songwriter and novelist.
5. I am eccentric and unique… And am choosing to believe that this is a good thing.
6. I am an excellent listener.
7. Deep inside I have the body, mind, and fierce passion of a warrior… And she is being released!
8. Despite my tendency to be utterly spontaneous I am finally learning to be more disciplined so that I accomplish the goals I have. I am very proud of myself for this.
9. I am trustworthy.
10. I am very creative, artistic, have a super vivid imagination, and am determined to dedicate these qualities to changing the world
around me one story, song, poem, and hug at a time.

Instead of speaking death I am going to speak LIFE over myself by reading this list. Thank you for inspiring me to write this out!

Okay this will be harder today because I’ve been feeling especially down lately but here goes:
1. I have a friend back in another state that is going through a really bad time but I know I’ve been able to be there for her. We’re talking a lot on the phone, more than when we lived close by, and I know she trusts me to tell me things she isn’t telling anyone else.
2. My son keeps changing his mind about his Halloween costume and I’m staying calm and supportive even though time to get things together is growing short.
3. I didn’t clean the kitchen last night just because I really needed a break and I’m not beating myself up about it.
4. I found a bird feeder and seed that the goldfinches love!
5. We’ve been having family walks every night for months now and it’s a routine that we all enjoy.
6. I just started a new job after being a stay at home Mom for many years and I’ve been braver than I thought I could be about all the transition.
7. The manager at my new job, who was the reason that the person before me quit, has not been a problem for me to get along with at all and even gave me a hug when I left work this morning.
8. My son’s friends always want to come over to our house.
9. I have been doing my new workout right on schedule for two weeks now and it feels really good.
10. Even though I have some hard days, I keep on trying to raise my vibration and love myself and others unconditionally.

I always have trouble seeing the things I love about myself so this will be great “therapy”:
1. I love how excited I get about life, there are times when even little things get me excited about my life.
2. I love how compasionate I can be with others. I think I would have been an amazing nurse.
3. I love how my mind works. I absolutely love challenges and puzzles! My brain is amazing!
4. I love how I treat others. I think I am polite, respectful and caring of how people feel.
5. I love my capacity for work. I seem to be able to work an enormous amount when required.
6. I love how I can “make things happen” for others. I someone asks me “how” I can go into action and make it happen!!
7. I love my unique sense of style. I think I’m my own person in this way.

Okay…here goes….
I’m so excited about this program and am trying to round up the money so I can start this process with everyone but getting $100 off…that’s an offer I can’t refuse!
1. I love that I’m good at my job. I’m a first grade teacher and have been for 18 years. Each year I love it more and get better at it!
2. I love that I try hard to be a good mom. Not saying I get there everyday…but I like that I TRY (it’s easy to give up!).
3. I love to listen to others’ stories..that makes me an awesome listener.
4. I love that I didn’t call my doctor and beg her for weight loss drugs this morning (I was going to do it…:) but instead I’m trying to make REAL changes in my life.
5. I like even when I’m fat, I can look down at my toes and think they’re cute..:)
6. I love my lips. They are big and shaped perfect for kissing…and I like that I’m a good kisser…:)
7. I like that I’m flexible. I’m really good at going with the flow and not getting bent out of shape when things change course.
8. I love that I work hard to communicate with the families of kids in my class. I really do believe in the home-school connection and though it takes a lot of work, I’m committed to it.
9. I love that I enjoy healthy food. I LOVE green smoothies and am so excited to learn more about healthy eating.
10. I love I have the enthusiasm to do this program with everything I have. I have a bunch of health problems related to years of not taking care of myself….but I just feel this time is different. Every blog post you write, Tera, feels like you are talking to right to my heart.
I will be back and back and back (9 more times to be exact…:)
Then I’M SIGNING UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have put it in the universe that I need the money and it will come…:)

2. I love that I made fresh delicious green juice for myself for 5 days straight while on my vacation/retreat.

9. I love my taste buds. Yup, that’s right. I’m so glad that instead of finding them yucky or tolerable, I like the taste of greens, lemons, cocount oil, avocados, celery and lots of other good-for-you foods! Love that!
10. I love that I find the study of English a fun endeavor. I know, that sounds crazy, but I do! I used to be a high school English teacher and now I tutor kids in reading and spelling and I enjoy it so much.

“I love that I left my bubble of familiar things to experience more in life” – this really spoke to me! I think life is about learning, and experiencing new things is when you learn quickest. It can be scary sometimes, so it’s great to see you have the courage to do so, and it’s inspiring to hear that you love it about yourself!

1. I love that I’m fiercely loyal to my family, friends, and co-workers.
2. I love my linea alba, even when I’m not happy about my abs, my linea alba is always visible and present reminding me of my gymnastics days.
3. I love my family and how they do everything they can to help one another. The last 2 years have been a huge challenge…divorce, disfiguring Afghanistan war injury, job loss, devastating floods, surviving a brain hemorrhage, dad’s cancer, major accidents, etc. Through it all we have dropped everything to be there for one another, even when we are spread out all over the country.
4. I love my dedication to my career goals. After years of work, I received my doctor of philosophy and have my dream job.
5. I love my compassion for rescue animals.

7. I love my strong legs. They have taken me a lot of amazing places, whether it be climbing, skiing, hiking, biking, or running.
8. I love that I have a minor in Global Change…and I received it before it was the cool, green thing to do be concerned with.
9. I love my perfectionistic eye for detail. It enables me to be good at my job. It allows me to help organize our big family. It also is a source for a lot of stress.
10. I love that i have finally learned to speak my mind after years of repressing my voice.

This is very hard for me. I’m a year into post partum depression – on the mend but there are many dips still. I don’t think I can muster up 10 things I love about myself, so I’ll start with what I can and finish the list with what is going well in my life.
1. I love that despite my history with my family, that I am creating a new family now, where communication and respect are at the heart of our little family.
2. I love my little daughter more than words can say, and I love that when she looks at me we are able to truly see each other. I love that I see and respect her in a way which I haven’t experienced
3. I love when my cooking makes people come together and be happy
4. My husband loves and supports me (even through this last year of trials)! I feel very lucky to have him.
5. I am working at a job that allows for and expects me to keep learning.
6. The home we live in is light and warm, even in the dark of winter.
This is getting quite difficult now…
7. I have friends and family in my life that ate there for me. All I have to do is ask (isn’t that always the hardest part?)
8. I am learning to be a working mom – a harder job than any I could have imagined! So far it seems to be going ok, although I’m only working part time yet.
9. I’m glad I realized it would be too much for me and too overwhelming to return to work full-time, and was able to stand my ground in order to make arrangements so I could return part time.
10. I now know that I can complete a 24-hour water fast! Woohoo!
Ok. So maybe a bit of a stretch on number 10, but that’s the best I can do today.
maybe tomorrow my list will be even more full of positive vibrations. (I’m hoping your other lists will rub off on me! Reading them is very uplifting!)

Here are my 10 things:
1. I love that I can empathize with just about everyone, in just about any situation. Because of this I’m unable to judge others. There is only understanding and love.
2. I love that I am a good mom.
3. I love that my #1 talent is learning. If I’m interested in something, I can saturate that topic and absorb everything instantly. Because of this, I’m able to become incredibly proficient in areas of interested much faster than the average person.
4. I love that I make sure my family has a sit-down dinner at home, 7 days a week.
5, I love that I keep trying every time I fail. There is no getting me down so far that I feel defeated. And I have been through trials that many could never imagine.
6. I love that I choose happiness and peace over drama and taking things personally. This has been a challenge but i’m on the other side of the “hump” and choose positivity more often than negativity.
7. I love my long hair, and the freckle on my top lip
8. I love my eyes and skin
9. I love the home I have created. It’s small. It’s far from fancy. But it’s a HOME that makes us all feel loved and comforted.
10. I love that I have the ability to heal myself both physically and emotionally, and that I CHOOSE healing rather than laying down and giving up.

Tera,
Thanks so much for asking… it is a reeeeal good idea! Not easy, but I feel better already just thinking about this.
10 things I love about myself:
1) I love that I keep tuning into these great emails and that I’m willing to participate in this amazing request/offer even though I feel all kinds of resistance on many levels come up and up and up! Onward!
2) I love that I feel deeply, and that when reading others’ replies, it brings tears to my eyes — tears of empathy, joy, shared celebration of everyone’ love, of themselves and of others.
3) I very often go the extra mile with people I don’t even know that well… to bring them some compassion, or help, or knowledge that “it’s OK to go through what you are going through”.
4) I make lovely little beds all over the house for our two kitties, Grace and Simon. The beds change places (so they aren’t taking over the house), but I know our kitties appreciate the comfort and the novelty.
5) I love that I am “getting” that we all need to start right where we are at — whatever it is we are wanting to do or “be”. Just be in the moment, and go from there.
6) I love that I get out of bed in the middle of the night and give my husband a foot massage when he can’t sleep.
7) I love that I persist in learning about health, and sometimes I even do/eat healthy things!
8) I love that I’m OK with spending some time alone — that solitude is a good thing in my book, rather than a sign of unhappiness.
9) I love that I built the fire in our wood stove today and we are all enjoying the benefits of the warmth and atmosphere it provides.
10) I love that I am finally learning to accept myself, and love myself, as I am now … not putting that off until I’m “better”. This list-making helps
Thank you.
with Love,
Patricia

Patricia! What an amazing list! I love that you get up in the middle of the night to give your husband a foot massage if he can’t sleep. That is SO sweet. I also commend you for giving up a life in finances to grow organic berries
Wow – I’ll be driving to the Berkshires in a couple of weeks, and I see that you’re in Vermont – how late do your berries grow?
Let’s keep up this GOOD NEWS CHANNEL! Another idea for you, Tera!
P.S. – sorry about another reply – my daughter was trying to type saying “I can do it” “Let me try” – and I really want to encourage those things.

Hi Kim,
Thx for writing…!
The farm is over and out (ie: closed) for the season.. had a few frosts and just yesterday got about 4 inches of snow! No problem on your daughter’s offerings… it was nice! Just to clarify, we didn’t have a life in finances (we were in publishing), it’s just that I actually had some finances (ie: $$)when I had a FT job, and now the farm is more of a vocation, and we are still trying to make it work! But it is lovely and I am sticking with it. vermontberries.com if you want to see it.
ok.. I better do my list and then move along to doing other good stuff!
thx for your continued good news

Hi, Maria
How wonderful that you love your curly hair! I used to really want curly hair when I was a kid… one day finally got my bangs permed (thought I was gorgeous – except everyone else thought otherwise)… years later now, I love my straight hair
And I’ve heard from so many people how they straighten their hair – so such nice to see that someone loves their hair as it is 
Have a great day!

4. I love that I am taking time to enjoy the beauty of fall each day.
5. I love that I am choosing not to give up on myself and continue to work on achieving peace of mind.

7. I love that I am appreciating myself (I bought some Imee Ooi CD’s today)
8. I love that my understanding of Self Care is expanding to more that having a bubble bath or having a massage.
9. I love that I am Never Giving Up, not matter what!

By Casi Leigh on Oct 29, 2011
Tera, you are so wonderful for this! I have been following along with your grand opening and really loved everything your new program stands for. I would love to be able to afford the program for this first go-round but I am a university student with such limited funds; I care deeply about what I am studying and I know I will be able to help people, in turn, after my studies but it means a certain amount of self-sacrifice first. You ROCK!
This next 30 days should be very interesting.
1. I love that I have gone back to school at such a weird time in my life. I’m 28 and finished my first undergraduate degree last year. I felt I had more to learn and came back this year to start a whole new degree program–in nutrition! I am scared out of my mind but loving every growing second of it.
2. I’m proud that I have really tried to continue to show love and compassion toward my family (who are wonderful) even though they are uncertain about my lifestyle choices (like being a vegetarian, an endurance athlete, and health conscious).
3. Between university years, I spent last November living on an ashram to learn to teach yoga. It was the beginning of my unfurling! Again, was scared out of my mind and felt a little sick and terrified even on the plane ride out there but I am so proud I did it. I lived there for a month, communing, praying, and becoming ALIVE. Now that I have awoken that passion and hunger, I cannot seem to turn it off. It makes me so happy to feel it!
4. I love everyone. And I don’t mean that as a euphemism. It’s part of why I want to become a dietitian. I look at people and I see all the love, compassion, energy, intelligence, and potential of our species. We are, truly, still such spiritual infants that we have not yet learned to fully harness this potential, I think, but it will come. I will work my whole life to do my part to help it come. As one of my favorite songwriters says, “We shall be free.”
5. This is silly but I am so happy that I am starting to learn my own style. I used to feel so uncomfortable shopping for clothes because I am tall and that makes me feel awkward often. In recent years, I have finally just let go and gone with it. I feel so much more confident and my fiance is so happy that I am not so insecure any longer. (He has always thought I looked beautiful, apparently lol)
6. I am so proud that I have gotten to know my nieces and nephew better lately. They are still very young but they are old enough now to really know who I am and remember me from visit to visit. I have never felt the electric thrill before that I get when my youngest niece, Emma, looks up at me from across the room with her beautiful baby eyes and squeals, “Want Casi!” (my name) It chokes me up every time.
7. I am awesome for sticking it out with my fiance. Not that he is not equally awesome. But we celebrated 7 years together last summer and it has hit us of late just how difficult our relationship made our twenties. We’re both wonderful people who love each other very much. But we have both had some very hard things to deal with during those years (what twentysomething doesn’t!) and through it all, we just can’t quit each other.
We don’t always agree but we’re on the same side. And when it comes down to it, I know he’s got my back. Best friends for life and all that lol.
8. Riding my bike. This is another odd one but I was training for a marathon earlier in the year and had to give it up because I just couldn’t keep to the training schedule with the school hours added in. I was really sad and disappointed but I decided to just compensate everywhere I could so as not to lose my momentum. I started riding my bike to work more (in addition to trying some other types of fitness) and feel so good, I’m thinking of switching that goal to a triathlon next summer. Yay!
9. I am acing Chemistry. Which was unthinkable to me even a few short weeks ago. Amazing.
10. Teaching yoga, attending college classes, chemistry homework, housework, ACTUAL work, cooking cleaning, taking care of my boyfriend and dog, finding time for family and friends. Despite all this craziness, I still find time for things like this. Because I believe I am worthwhile. I think that is what I like most about myself. That I do, in fact, actually LIKE myself. <3

Hi, Casi
Just wanted to congratulate you on going back to school despite financial challenges. What a beautiful list that you just ran off. I, too, wanted to go back to school for nutrition; I use the knowledge every day with myself and my family (my son who has autism has been on various diets).
This was a great idea that Tera and the Divas came up with. I wish you all the best!

Also, I was just thinking about doing a Nutrition course (online, for a year, “Integrative Nutrition”) — Not sure about timing yet but was nice to hear your tale.
I’m an organic berry farmer, gave up a “career”, dealing with finances, 50 years old (I guess I love that!), and … just thanking you for your inspiration!

I kept thinking about this last night…and now it’s tomorrow… but here’s a great start to today!
1. I love that (Some) people ask me for health & food related advice/tips because they know I read a lot and know a lot about it.
2. I love that I now question any information I take in and see if it fits or not rather than believing everything I read.
3. I love that I absolutely want to experience joy and am actively finding ways to allow it in.
4. I love that I can feel body rhythms of other people with my hands and that I’m accepting that I don’t have to know everything.
5. I love that I am learning to trust myself and what I feel
6. I love that I want to have a closet full of clothes I LOVE and that feel good (and am excited for that day to come when I love ALL the clothes I own!)

8. I love that I don’t settle for a job I don’t love
9. I love that my relationship with money is growing

post #2 for Oct 31 because I missed posting by midnight on the oct 30 and well, just need to post a second time today!
1. I love that I can see and hear myself in every other post here that I read and that I find myself more open, more loving because of seeing so many other beautiful women sharing themselves.
2. I love that even though I was getting frazzled trying to get food into the kids and getting them out the door for trick or treating that I stopped and remembered the evening was about having fun with my boys and sharing their joy (and well, we’ll just try to forget about the candy part for now).
3. I love that I seek out things that make me feel better when I’m not feeling great mentally.
4. I love that I reach for better feeling thoughts.
5. I love that I am stepping out and trusting in my healing potential without a whole lot of evidence to support my trust (hence the word trust, huh?)
6. I love that I am not battling with pros and cons over a decision of what office space to use for my new energy work business and that I am allowing the answers to come.
7. hmmm…. I love that I want to learn, to grow, to be more and more of myself.
8. I love that I want to grow a huge garden AND that I admit that I’m not the greenest of thumbs and that I need help!
9. I love that my choices in life are limitless.
10. I love how my body feels when I stretch and move.
Ahhhh…. and I love that my kids aren’t in a complete candy stupor (though there was candy enjoyment…) and that we have healthy food waiting. Oh! And that at my son’s 7th birthday party most of the kids were munching on apples at the end after we did an apple on a string “bob” for apples. GOOD STUFF!

To be honest, it’s hard for me to come up with things I like about myself because I have been lost and feel tapered in my body and have made a habit of never looking in the mirror… But I want a new life, so I will try very hard to list what I love (or am trying to love) about myself.
1. I love that I am interested in changing my life through holistic health and nutrition.
2. I love that I am an introvert, or to be more specific, that I am a total INFP–myers briggs type.
3. I love my fingernails as I trends to think they look great naturally.
4. I love my dreams of being a writer, and I love my ideas and writing style.
5. I love my taste in style and decor.
6. I love that I am a good gift-giver.
7. I love that I am not like everyone else, that I have always been on a slightly different wavelength from others.
8. I love that I have survived many traumas in my life and that while I am weather-torn, I am still fighting.
9. I love that I am artistic and creative.
10. I love that I try to go outside my comfort zone sometimes, even though I am afraid!

Kim,
After seeing your reply above to Casi (which came through as I was writing a reply), I think scrolled up to look for your list. I think I’ve found it (below, not up!). It IS so heartening to see/read these lists (though it is time for me to “move along” now!)… I loved how you said about forgiving yourself. That is so key, isn’t it? Just a wonderful, amazing, ABSOLUTE WEALTH of positivity and love in all these lists…
Makes me think how much better our “news” would be if we reported happy things!!!!! Just as this exercize can turn one’s focus to the positive about oneself, reading positive news could transform our experience of the world and each other. TRULY, there is a need for a NEWS channel with just GOOD, LOVING news!!!
well, on that note…
thanks again for your list,
and your comments on others,
with Love!

7. I go through a mental list every night of a few things (since there are too many to list them all) I’m grateful for. This shows me how much I have, and I feel truly blessed… and when I feel that I have a lot, I feel that there is a lot I can give.
8. Although my son rips every day, I also try to find the fascination in it rather than judging it to be maladaptive behaviour.

That was a lil bit fun, after the lowest week I can ever remember in my life – it is nice to know I can still find things to be thankful for

Day 1 list:
1. I love that I have a remarkably loyal and supportive mother; my mum relentlessly tells me how beautiful and smart I am and it’s the most comforting, uplifting feeling to have your mother be your biggest supporter.
2. I love that with such an amazing mum and equally supportive dad, I have come to love a growing list of physical aspects of myself and going back to such positive thoughts, especially when I am unhappy with other parts of myself has the power to alter my energy (I now wonder why I even let myself go to such sad thoughts); I love my eyes, eyebrows, lips and well aligned teeth. I love my long, dark wavy hair. I love my breasts – all natural baby – lol! I love my belly button. I love my strong, long fingernails and hands. I love my feet. I have come to love and appreciate the colour of my golden brown skin.
3. I love that I am a fiercely loyal and passionate person.
4. I love that I can appreciate the beauty in most things even when others criticize.
5. I love how clear I feel in those few quiet moments of the morning.
6. I love how strong I feel in my core – despite being off exercise for the last few months.
7. I love that I finally went back to yoga this morning after 10 months of running away from it. My goal is to get back to practicing yoga 5-6 times a week. I want to let it change my life again.
8. I love that I am naturally moving towards all the deliciousness of vegetables and fruits and looking to reduce if not eliminate meat in my daily diet.
9. I love that I ate really healthy today, shared a delicious vegetarian meal with a cute boy I like (haha) and listened to what my body wanted today – I had a remarkable green smoothie for dinner and feel amazing.
10. I love that despite feeling lonely tonight, I treated it as alone time and nurtured myself with meaningful connections, life giving food and stumbling upon the magnificent TERA WARNER’s BE Program. I am on a journey of self love and compassion and I realise it starts with every kind moment, so thank you for this opportunity wonderful TERA!

Okay, this is really challenging. I have never let myself love anything about myself, so I don’t even know where to begin. I am just not allowed, don’t deserve good feelings about me. I wonder if I can pull this off in earnest. I know I could just make up a list, but that wouldn’t be in the spirit of things, would it? No, I need a real, genuine list:
1. I love that God loved me enough to give me 3 beautiful daughters. I don’t know why, but He did, and I could not feel more loved.
2. I love that I have a researchers mind. Nothing can rest in my mind until I have learned a fair amount about it.
3. I do love my eyes, I think they are gorgeous.
I am really struggling here. This is really hard. I am not sure where to go from here.
4. I love that I took my oldest daughter and 2 friends to a game place today, and she wanted to play with ME!
5. I love that my husband wants me.
6. I love that I love veggies and am teaching my girls to love veggies.
7. I love that I am a cowgirl at heart and would rather be outside in the dirt than in a department store.
8. I love my inner masculinity, sometimes. I really love how I don’t need to wait for others in most cases, I can do for myself.
9. I love my strength.
And finally,

Well, I missed yesterday so I will see if I can dig down and find 20 things.
1. My desire to see the good in people.
2. The fact that despite how horrible a teenager I was to my parents, whatever I did right I’m getting the benefit of now with mine.
3. My hair. It may be falling out, but it’s still long and shiny and a color that people would love to get their strands on.
4. My faith in myself. I know that no matter what when the chips are down, I will do what needs to be done.
5. I’m a great friend. I don’t have many friends, but the ones I have know that they can count on me to be there for them and tell it like it is.
6. I know it drives other people nuts, but my logic is one thing I LOVE about myself. I’m annoyingly hyperlogical. Others may hate it but I think it helps me to deal with the world.
7.I love that I finally went back to school. I’ve been talking about it for years and I finally got in there and did it…started Monday as a matter of fact.
8. My love and respect for animals.
9. My love and respect for the Earth.
10. I love how I break into random song and dance throughout the day.
11. My Dad used to tell me I was so full of crap my eyes were turning brown, but I don’t care, they’re pretty eyes.
12. I love that I’m an awesome mom. I know that a lot of parents think that, but my 16 year old daughter continues to tell me that (and her friends too) no matter how many times I tell her that she’s supposed to hate me at her age. lol
13. I love that (for the most part) I don’t let my temper get away from me.
14. I love that I’m self-sufficient. There are very few things I won’t attempt to fix myself.
15. I love that I finally grew into liking living in a clutterless environment.
16. My ability to make people laugh.
17. My inability to get embarrassed.
18. The fact that despite the fact I’m about 70 pounds overweight, I’m pretty darn graceful.
19. My flexibility despite my size.
20. My ability to adapt to new situations.
Phew…that wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be!

9. I love that I don’t shy away from a challenge.

8. I love that even though I love my nook that I still love the smell of real books.
9.I love my feet….I know weird right. But I do.
10. I love cuddle time with Tiggy. I know its not really about myself but it makes me feel good and loved.

I just have a quick question that others may be wondering as well. I know you have the full price and the “payment plan” option, but if we do the 10 days, does that apply to the “payment plan” option also?
Thanks! Aeryn

Wow.. Tera.. this is amazing. This is the greatest new years gift ever. But I’ll tell you all in my list:
1. I love that I actually take the leap of faith to participate in this despite being late one day (due to time zones) instead of berating myself of being late because it is a sign of treating me how I treat others.
2. I love that my very cute and strong coven sister is sleeping on the couch after we talked until the wee hours of the morning about miscarriages and child death because it amazes me what kind of relationships I have been able to build as an adult.
3. I love that I woke up this morning and had faith again in my body healing itself after loosing that for a while because it shows I never give up.
4. I love my body because it is amazing – despite me mistreating it it still loves me back.
5. I love my thyroid especially because it has done without hormone supplementation for 6 amazing months now.
6. I love my fat belly because I still think it wants to tell me something and than disappear.
7. I love that I’m awake because that’s not really something I could take for granted for a long way.
8. I love my ability to learn languages.
9. I love my intuition, because it has saved me so many times.
10. I love everything about me that has lead my to write this post because I finally feel as if I had a way on towards the light again.
Thank you sooo much Tera, I know this exercise alone will change a lot and make me stand through this difficult time with my body and life.

Let me think hmmmmm,
1.- I love my eyes
2.- I love the desire within to reach out to people and offer truth, love and care. I love to be in community, there is no better classroom then community living.
3.- I love my gift to celebrate life, not only mine but others too (I love to celebrate people’s birthdays, specially when they are foreigners and have no family around at all. Sometimes I have been surprised by being the first person to have celebrated their birthdays at ALL)
4.- I love my hands, I think they are beautiful!
5.- I love my freckles and moles, they are sexy!
6.- I love to be a woman and experience the gift of motherhood, what a privilege! (I have 3 kids)
7.- I love my name! it is very unique and I love the meaning as a declaration over me “Beauty”
8.- I love the desire within me to stand against injustice and see people walk in freedom (I have felt this way since I am able to remember) I love freedom, I love truth! I love the truth of who we are meant to be, I love it!
9.- I love my butt! hehehehe ;P
10.- I love the curls in my hair, my hair is naturally very curly
It was inspiring to have to think of things I love about myself, it took me sometime to think and think and really ask myself.
… And I would love to be part of the Body Enlightenment!

Tera you are amazing. I really don’t have 200 dollars because I live in Montenegro and my salary is 320 euros (1 euro = 1.4 dollars)so for me this is the only way to participate in Body Enlightenment in the future. I am so happy because you are giving this chance to all of us who want and need this but don’t have the money.
It’s not easy task to write 10 things I love about myself but I’ll try.
1.I cuddled with my beatiful dog at 5 a.m. and he made me happy and I made him happy.
2. I was glad I didn’t eat anything except green smoothie and a kefir yeasterday in the evening otherwise I would feel awful at 5 a.m. today.
3. I looked at the mirror and felt good about the fact that I have only very tiny and barely wisible wrinkle at the age of 35.
4. I am sad for the last few weeks but I love about myself that I am trying really hard to find the solution for my love life (having beatiful boyfriend who loves me and I love him but we are just not happy for quite some time).
5. I became friend on FB with some great people whom I’ll meet very soon in the local dog shelter.
6. The sun is coming into my office and that is making me smiling although I have to work on Sunday (and every other day).
7. I called my mom and I hope I made her day at least a little bit better.
8. I flossed my teeth.
9. wow this is hard, thinking and talking good things about myself but it feels good and awkward at the same time.
10. I have hope that everything will be good, that Universe will help me and maybe everything is happening for some reason, for some higher purpose.
Love you Tera.

I don’t think my list, which I typed on my phone last night before falling asleep, came on. So here it comes:
This is very hard for me. I’m a year into post partum depression – on the mend but there are many dips still. I don’t think I can muster up 10 things I love about myself, so I’ll start with what I can and finish the list with what is going well in my life.
1. I love that despite my history with my family, that I am creating a new family now, where communication and respect are at the heart of our little family.
2. I love my little daughter more than words can say, and I love that when she looks at me we are able to truly see each other. I love that I see and respect her in a way which I haven’t experienced
3. I love when my cooking makes people come together and be happy
4. My husband loves and supports me (even through this last year of trials)! I feel very lucky to have him.
5. I am working at a job that allows for and expects me to keep learning.
6. The home we live in is light and warm, even in the dark of winter.
This is getting quite difficult now…
7. I have friends and family in my life that ate there for me. All I have to do is ask (isn’t that always the hardest part?)
8. I am learning to be a working mom – a harder job than any I could have imagined! So far it seems to be going ok, although I’m only working part time yet.
9. I’m glad I realized it would be too much for me and too overwhelming to return to work full-time, and was able to stand my ground in order to make arrangements so I could return part time.
10. I now know that I can complete a 24-hour water fast! Woohoo!
Ok. So maybe a bit of a stretch on number 10, but that’s the best I can do today.
maybe tomorrow my list will be even more full of positive vibrations. (I’m hoping your other lists will rub off on me! Reading them is very uplifting!)

I love that I didn’t listen to the medical profession telling me ‘I had very little or no chance of having babies’. I am a radiant mother of 4 beautiful children.
I love that – for me the glass IS always full to overflowing… That may not be the reality around me…
I Love the air that I breathe
I Love using my senses to appreciate – beauty is all around
I love the joy that I see in each of my children’s little faces.
I Love Loving my husband and supporting him to be the best he can be
I Love bring my children up with values that will make a positive difference in our world
I Love what Yoga bring to my life & the positive impact is has on others
I Love the complexity of life & figuring out challenges

I am completely amazed that it is sooo hard to acknowledge what I actually like about me. but

) but still standing and hopefully wiser and stronger because of it.

2. I love the three miracles that are my beautiful children.
3. i love the fact that 12 years after number 2 I got to do number 3
4. i love the fact that tho I am most often sleep deprived and short fused my kids love me anyway.
5. i love the fact that tho the extent of our rawness totals to a salad most days and trying to put in some green smoothie thingys occasionally, I am here on these blogs hoping to learn more and to get the courage to include more raw and re-find some energy and clarity and focus.
6. i love the fact that through great adversity in the past year we are still standing where we were called to be. Maybe a bit frazzled around the edges (smoke still coming off
7. I love that i am trying to learn that in great giving out one must recharge and refuel or you crash and simply are no use to anyone anymore so recharge, refuel.
8. I love the music team I get to work with, from my 8 year old drummer to my 18 yo pianist you guys are awesome
9. I love that tho I had to say goodbye for now I got to know someone very special.
10. i love that i am alive and able to move and to think and to dream and that i have today

it’s time to do this I think! It’s jolly easy to tell evryone else how marvellous they are- so time to step back and look at me for a bit!
1.I love being so lucky to be friendly – must be very hard to struggle with feeling locked in and lonely.
2.I love being a bit eccentric and thinking that’s normal til someone tells me it isn’t and I just say ‘oh- really?’
3.I love that I think of insects as small people in our family.
4.I love loving Theo – my cat.
5.I love feeling damn grateful that I make my living doing what I like to do.
6.I love that I refuse to believe stuff without asking questions – a lot of questions.
7. I like being quite brainy.(finding it easier to say like than love – hope that’s ok!)
8.I like that I talk to strangers – what the hell!
9.I like that I am often quite courageous.
10.I love that I can be very silly sometimes.

so here is the second go!
1. I love being kind to the trick or treaters – I lit night lights in jars with cats and hearts painted on them to let them know it is ok to call here.
2.I love that I am not fazed by not having just the thing I need – my Mum taught me how to improvise- and I love that!
3.I love that I am forgiving – usually- eventually!
4.I LOVE THAT I HAVE FINALLY STOPPED DRINKING COFFEE BECAUSE OF YOU DIVAS! HOORAY!
5.I love being someone people love- apparently…
6.I love that I am giving this a go – when it’s MUCH EASIER to say what I don’t much like about myself.
7. I love that I am willing to learn new things – especially new languages- thus enabling to me to talk to even more strangers!
8.Gosh – this is getting difficult- umm- ah yes! I love that I make my house a place where people feel comfortable and welcome- and they keep coming back!
9.I love that I am quick on the uptake – I get what people are telling me pretty quickly (so cut to the chase please-!)
10.I love that I’m perfectly ok not caring (much) what the neighbours think – I love them anyway!

2.And his bright blue eyes are also here in me!As he got older they got bluer – I hope mine do too – I love having blue eyes – especially his.
3.I love that I expect people to be reasonable and they usually are.
4.I love that I am quick to forgive.
5.I love that having seen my astrological chart I can see why I’m like I am and be allowing of my idiosyncracies!
6.I love that I am curious about the derivation of words- and that learning Greek is hugely contributing to my lexicon of delight.
7.I love that I am adventurer.
8.I love that I can see my own idiotic behaviour at times and own up to it – I coudn’t always do that – i was too scared – hey! if you mis write scared – as I just did – it becomes sacred! how’s that for a word lover!
9.I am a bit shy about saying I love my physical attributes that much – but I am aware I have quite a long neck and I like it.
10.I love that I am often able to think ‘outside the box’ – whatever that is! and at the same time appreciate the confines of the box as a useful structure – (what AM i talking about here!)
love to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well, this is a bit scary. Totally getting out of my comfort zone. For me it is even a bit uncomfortable to receive compliments from other people and now to think and say what I love about myself, what I love about my body…
1. I love my desire for adventures
2. I love my ability to trust people
3. I love that I am short
4. I love my body for its ability to sense the rhythm – to express it through dance
5. I love my need for communication and sharing
6. I love my eyes
7. I love my nails
8. I love the softness of my skin
9. I love my ability to notice small things in life that can lift me higher ( a smile, a certain way light is reflecting on trees, a touch, a sound, a color ….)
10.I love my need for knowledge
Tera I totally love you for making me realize these simple but at the same time most difficult challenges I face every day in my life – the habit of not appreciating the beautiful in me. And I thank you for showing the direction to the path of change.
Then I saw your email I decided to dedicate myself to writing 10 things I love about myself for the next 30 days. Later I realized I can do it only for 24 days because after that I will be spending 10 days without any internet access. But I can still continue sending positive and loving thoughts to myself and to my body

Okay, sooooo thanks to the snow storm, I didn’t have internet access last night.
So, I’ll be posting 20 things – 10 for yesterday, and 10 for today!
1. I love my eyes – they’re dark blue with specks of green in them.
2. I love that my feet are identical to my mom’s feet.
3. I love my passion for Japanese culture and language. Growing up, I felt isolated in this passion, as it was uniquely my own, but I never let that damper my enthusiasm.
4. No matter how different my friends and I are, we always find common ground.
5. I’m a great listener.
6. I love my singing.
7. I love my passion for creativity in the mundane.
8. I love that I have such a strong relationship with my mom.
9. I love that I can be “one of the guys” one second, but be incredibly girly the next.
10. I love that I can appreciate all of the things I been through, and see that they’ve made me stronger.
11. I love that even though I’m a responsible adult with a long-term boyfriend, a full time job, an apartment and a puppy, I can still get all gothed out for a rock concert.
12. I love my fashion sense.
13. I love that I’m confident enough to have black hair one day, and blonde the next.
14. I love that I’m being an inspirations for my family and friends on this program!
15. I love that regardless of the abuse I’ve taken at the hands of men, I was still able to fall in love with, and trust my boyfriend.
16. I love that I can listen to almost any kind of music. My iPod ranges from Phantom of the Opera, to Britney Spears, to Slipknot.
17. I love my dedication. Once I’ve decided to do something, I don’t stop or give up until it’s done.
18. I love that I prefer the feel of a book in my hands to having an electronic reader.
19. I love that I’m a creative writing major, and a sociology minor, despite not yet having a job in my field – I haven’t given up yet!
20. I love the even on my worst days of self-hatred and disgust, I can always find something redeemable in myself!
Wow. That was harder than I thought. I had to check out what other people wrote to remind me of things I loved about myself. Interesting, because I think that if you had asked to write 10 things I hated about myself, I wouldn’t have had any hesitation. And yet, when asked what I love about myself, I forgot most of those responses until I really thought about it, or used other responses to remind me. So, thank you for helping me remember all of these things!

Hi Kim! Thanks for the comment! After I graduated college, I kept thinking I needed to go back for that “learning” feeling… before realizing I can do it myself for free!
1. I love that I’m rediscovering the woman I want to become.
2. I love my addiction to herbal teas.
3. I love that I can have a healthy friendship with my ex.
4. I love my knowledge of random facts.

6. I love being able to follow my gut instincts.
7. I love how excited I’m becoming to better myself with this program!

10. I love that I’m finally willing to spend money on making myself healthy, instead of buying toxic food for my body.
Reply by Jen on November 4th, 2011
1. I love having such an open relationship with my boyfriend. We have great communication.
2. I love that I can be spontaneous.
3. I love that I want to push my limits to see what I’m capable of.

5. I love my obsession with international cuisines.

Reply by Jen on November 6th, 2011
Ugh, worked a double so I didn’t have time to do this yesterday.
1.I don’t promise things easily, but when I make a promise, I never break it.
2. I have no doubt in my mind that I’ll go back to Japan…and complete the Shikoku pilgrimage.
3. I’m very organized.
4. I love that I’m learning how to start putting myself first instead of last.
5. Even though I am the heaviest I’ve ever been, no one can really notice how much I’ve gained because I’ve made a point of wearing great, flattering clothes.
6. I love that I’ve been able to commit to making these lists. For such a long time I thought I just couldn’t lose weight because I couldn’t stay on track, and even though list making is a simple step, it’s still a step in a great direction!
7. I love that I’m becoming more honest with myself, more forgiving of myself, and more positive about myself.
8. I love that I’m able to express how I feel with tact and dignity, even when others don’t give the same cortesy.
9. I love being a grammar nerd. And I love that I need something more then “Twilight” gives me when I read a book. (Seriously. Such terrible writing.)
10. I love that despite having Scheuermann’s Disease and the chronic back pain associated with it, I refuse to overly medicate myself, and find more holistic solutions for pain management.
11. I love that I’m finally understanding that I have to make this journey for me. Not for my friends, my boyfriend, my family – just me. And, likewise, I can’t expect them to push me to continue – I have to push myself.
12. I love that I still feel a little shiver every time my boyfriend tells me he loves me, and even more so when he hints about *gasp* marriage!
13. That I am becoming more open to the idea of having kids and being a mother. For the longest time, the last thing I wanted was to be burdened with kids, but I realize now it was less about me, and more about not believing my ex would be a good father. I have every confidence my current boyfriend would be an incredible dad.
14. I love that I’ve been best friends with my BFF for 7 years, since I met her in college. Can’t wait until it’s been 10 years!
15. I love finding beauty in the smallest of things.
16.I love the tattoo on my foot of little puppy paw prints, and my puppy’s name Kamina in the katakana characters. Even though he’s barking at nothing right now, I still love him dearly.
17. I love that after burying my emotions inside for so long, I’m finally able to let go and feel again.
18. I love that despite all the weight I’ve gained, I can still find things I find beautiful about my body. I hope that – no, I KNOW that one day I will find all of my body beautiful!
19. I love that today I’m going to throw out all processed foods and junk, and restock my kitchen with whole foods.
20. I love lying awake in bed when my boyfriend leaves for work in the morning, and feeling him tuck the covers in around me, kiss my forehead, and tell me he loves me.
Reply by Jen on November 7th, 2011
1. I love that today I’m focusing on eating mostly raw fruits, veggies, and seeds today.
2. I love that I’m learning how to go with the flow more.
3. I love that I have manners.
4. I love that I’m getting back into reading before bed.
5. I love that I’m restarting my exercise program tonight. It’s been a while, but I can’t wait to get back to where I used to be.
6. I love my pierced ears, and I also love knowing that if I pierce them anymore, they’ll look trashy, haha. I have my lobes pierced 3 times, two in my cartilage on the right, and an industrial piercing on the left.
7. I love that I can laugh so hard my belly hurts.
8. I love driving down country roads, windows down, listening to loud music!
9. I love that even though the holidays are coming up, I’m determined to make healthy choices.
10. I love that after weighing in today for a starting weight, I won’t weigh myself again until the end of the month. I’m focusing just on eating healthy foods and working out, making my body and my mind healthier. To hell with the number on the scale!
Tera, thanks so much for this! I can’t wait to start this with everyone!!

Heh…. just realized I only wrote down 9 for one of the posts… Dunno how I missed that, but here’s my final one!
I love that I have a supportive boyfriend. Even after me buying tons of healthy food and wasting it by falling off the wagon, even after losing some weight only to gain it back, he’s stuck with me and believed in me with every step!

3. I love that I went for an hour long walk last night.
4. I love that when I was asked what I wanted for Christmas, I honestly couldn’t think of anything. I’m already content with what I have.
5. I love my determination to be able to walk in heels. Somday, I will be graceful in stilettos!
6. I love that I love water. I love drinking it, bathing in it, swimming in it….

8. I love that I mapped out rewards for myself as I complete this program, all involving body pampering.

1. I love that I woke up early this morning to put on a great outfit, do my hair and my makeup. I feel beautiful today!
2. I love that I go out of my way to take care of my boyfriend when he’s sick without a second thought, or wanting anything in return.
3. I love that I just planned a vacation to Florida in March with all of my friends! And I know if I work hard enough, I can get back to my college weight by then!
4. I love my lips – they’re soft, and plump but not scary Angelina large, haha.
5. I love that at the end of making these posts, I’m planning on printing them out and putting them around my apartment to inspire myself each day.
6. I love that last weekend, I walked barefoot on the beach, and squished cold sand between my toes. It doesn’t need to be warm to enjoy the ocean!
7. I love that I’ve saved meaningful cards and letters since I was young. I now have a plethora of memories from old boyfriends, friends, and passed family members.
8. I love selling cupcakes to people. No matter how crappy their day has been, they always look happy to see the display and get a cupcake!
9. I love that I went from hiding behind my hair (it was down to my waist) to hacking it off into a shaggy bob just under my ears! Hell, I even got blonde highlights!
10. I love that I’ve been so confident with this program that I’ve been bragging about it to EVERYONE. Normally I don’t mention programs I’m looking into because, deep down, I know I’ll probably fail on those, and I’m ashamed of that. But I can feel it in my bones that there’s something different about this, and I can’t help but share it with everyone.

Have a great day, and keep up with your love lists, ladies

Day 5:
-I love that I am considerate to other people’s needs
-I am moved deeply by things, while it can be very overwhelming and hard to deal with, I LOVE that about myself!
-I love that I can ask for help. This is a biggie for me because I come from a family where asking for help is a major weakness. Having health problems though has meant that I have had to learn to accept help and even to ask.
-I love my fascination with words.
-I love that I believe in win/win/win situations and I that strive to reach them in the majority of my interactions, with others AND myself.

-I adore that I am a very passionate person.
-I love great design, beauty and functionality. This is one of the reasons I am a big Apple fan.I love websites that are intuitive yet WORK. These things need to by synergistic. They add up to a whole lot more than the individual efforts. Remove one and I struggle with it! I love that I naturally are drawn to great examples of these and reward them with my consumer dollar.
-As above, I love that I will not spend money with people that have values that are significantly different to mine. I am still working on this (for example I still buy petrol) but when it comes to local business, if you have poor customer service or go against my principles I will go without, even when that causes me severe discomfort!

I love how I can go from living at the base of Mt. Tam in Northern California to the heart of New York City and appreciate all both have to offer in their unique ways.

I love how I was able to manage my time so well this morning (only for plans to get cancelled – but I still did it, which is great for me.)

–
I love how I allowed myself to rest so much yesterday. Storms are good for that!
–
I love how resourceful I can be with a small amount of space, time & money.
–
I love traveling solo outside of the country. Every couple years I’ll take a couple weeks and go somewhere that requires a passport by myself. Amazing adventures and new friendships along the way that I’ll have with me forever.
–
I love looking out the window of my apartment at 4am and watching what’s going on – my city never sleeps.
–
I love taking care of my animals. All rescue animals I’ve been able to provide a good home to and lots of love. I wonder if they have any idea how much in return I have receive from them. So much unconditional love, joy and fun!
–
I love being able to share so much with so many strangers here. It feels good to open up. I’ve been in a very negative space for too long and it’s having a great effect on my life.

I see 128 responses!
Imagine all that positive energy balancing out all the contradictions!
In the Baha’i writings, it advises, “Concentrate all the thoughts of your heart on love and unity”. Thoughts of hatred, war, can be opposed by stronger thoughts of love and peace. Be the voice of spirit!
Here’s my 10 ‘Loveables’:
1. A roaring courage to do what feel right, no matter how hard it is
2. A passionate spark that creates, loves and empowers
3. A healthy conscience that nags and encourages me to strive for excellence
4. Energy and enthusiasm for Life (capital L!)
5. A connection to invisible Wisdom – it seems to come to me out of nowhere!
6. My willingness to pioneer new ideas. Currently, I am joining other families to create a new educational program in our community. Yeah!
7. My ‘DANCING WAYS’. Whether it’s food, fitness, processing emotions, celebration, soothing a crying babe; “Dance it” is my mantra, my medicine, my teacher.
8. I can honestly say that I love the way I mother my children. My dedication to self-educate and persevere when the current pushes me in the other direction has given me such integrity!
9. I am an Early Bird. I love this attribute of myself because morning has so many blessings and possibilities (sunrise, quiet, snuggly time, etc., etc.)
10. I am a magnet for frisky, empowered, earth-shakin’, awe-inspiring, motivated people
Making this list has fluffed up many of my ruffled feathers. Infinite blessings and encouragement to all who move onto the path of enlightenment!

Day 2. 10 Things i love about myself:
1) I try to see everyone as being part of me and to realize everyone is doing the best they can, thereby having compassion for everyone.
2) I raised 2 wonderful daughters who are independent, smart, kind and loving.
3) I am trying really hard to save my relationship instead of walking away. I realize that I am a factor in everything and so I have things that need work as well as my partner in order for us to have the relationship I dream of.
4) I try to be honest with people I love about their current situations in a loving way and support them whatever they decide.
5) I have been able to attract some wonderful, amazing, loving, beautiful friends who are my soul sisters.
6) Ummm. Here, we go again… I’m stuck.. Ok, I try to take care of my body by eating healthy food and TRYING to maintain and exercise program (really need help there!!!). But I do value my health as being a priority. Not only that but I feel it is the vessel God gave us. Yet, I can’t translate that into an automatic habit. Help!! But I try and give myself credit for that…
7) I always try to smile at everyone I encounter daily and hope it brightens their day…
8) I’m doing this today!! I’ve committed to this task and so far so good!!!
9) I really try to focus on the good in the world..
10) I am determined to develop a lifestyle that brings out the best in me and allows me to flourish so that I can be an example of what’s possible for others and be totally happy in my own life. At this point in time almost everyone around me is unhappy in their relationships, jobs and in general, Even my own life is falling apart but there is still that glimmer of hope in me that won’t give up. I hope that I can be that light for them. That would be totally amazing!!!!!!!!!! And, at 55, it would be so wonderful to finally be in a place of peace and loving my life…
OK, Day 2 complete.. YEA!!!!!!!!! Have a great one everybody!!!

I am loving this idea – thanks so much for setting it up!
I’ve been working really hard on my self image – and particularly that mean voice inside my head, this is great way to beat it into submission. Thanks!
so
1 I love that I am full of energy
2 I love that I got out of London and moved to India
3 I love the fact that I am eating pineapple slices for my tea rather than icecream (and I stood in the supermarket for a long time making that decision
4 I love the fact that I have really great friends
5 I love the fact that I can MAKE really great friendships
6 I love the fact that I am moving forwards and putting all the other stuff behind me
7 I love the fact that I will hear bird song as I wake up
8 I love the fact that I always sleep well (despite last nights dream about inadvertently cooking my baby… what on earth was that about? Def time for a raw food diet!)
9 I love the fact that I’m really looking forward to seeing all my chums at work after my time off
10 most of all I love the fact that I am really going to try and make a good relationship with that one irksome person at work. I’m sure I can bring him round if I’m charming enough…
Thanks Tera

Tera this challenge that you’ve put me upto is not something I will miss because wherever I go , whatever I do this is the one wall I come up with. Sometimes my self hatred is even stunning and I know nothing will shift with such an attitude. So I’m going to take up on this challenge whatever- I don’t care if I don’t win anything because if the only thing I gain is a little softness for myself and a little more kindness then I know that I’ve won and everyone around me has too as I spread positivity, love and good cheer. I will do this for myself for my children and for the world! So grateful I opened this email today.
1. I love myself for wanting to grow.
2. I appreciate my sincerity.
3. I love the way I keep looking for the answers.
4. I appreciate my intellectual capacities.
5. I appreciate my creative talents.
6. I appreciate my steady fingers.
7. I appreciate my accepting qualities.
8. I appreciate the hatred that I have for myself that tells me what it is that i want to change.
9. I appreciate my respect for nature.
10. I love my appreciation for the connectedness of all things.
Thank you so much Tera for this. You know, when you say it’s not about the money -you’re one person that I can truly believe! Your committment to making the world a better place without necessarily lining anyone’s pockets is so heartwarming and inspiring!

Day 2 of 30
Ouff…not sure I can get to 10 easily this morning, lol. Monoparental to 3 toddlers makes me way more exhausted than glamourous, but here goes.
1. When my new lover (and first man in my life since my husband and I split over 2 years ago) e-mailed me this morning that my children are a bit much for him, instead of crying I tried to see things from his point of view and responded as positively as possible.
2. I see the twins “terrible two’s” as a time of growth and development and I enjoy the challenge, most of the time, lol!
3. I want the kids to have an appreciation of thier food and where it comes from, so there is never KD in the house, and I try very hard not to succumb to the lure of fast-food as I know they get enough of that with oter people.
4. I am strong in my convictions, although some would call that pig-headed.
5. I want to do be the best person I can be.
6. I try very hard not to be frustrated with my situation as I know there are people in infinately worse situations than what I have to deal with.
7. I see my children as gifts, precious gifts and I see thier upbringing as a responsibility.
8. I (most of the time) am a fairly happy person.
9. I think I’m balanced, mentally, lol!
10. I truly do enjoy my time with the kids, and don’t see them as a chore, but as the best things to have ever happened to me.
Ok, I did it, it took a bit less time than I thought, maybe I like myself more than I thought I did, that’s a good thing! Have a great day and good luck to us all!

Hi Tera,
thanks for giving this opportunity! It took me quite some time today sitting on the bench in the sun to find ten things… so here goes!
* I love that my body lets me know if I’m holding old beliefs which do me no good – by getting ill.
* I love that my body has grown and born and fed three children – all on its own. Hooray!
* I love that I have strong, powerful hands which let me work hard if needed.
* I love my beautiful strong dark hair, which is curly at half-length and straight if long – and always gorgeous.
* I love that I never stop searching for new inspiration.
* I love my strong, sturdy legs which carry me wherever I want to go, either on foot or by bike.
* I love my body, mind and soul that they go along with me when I try out new (food and other) paths.
* I love my ability to quickly learn new languages.
* I love that I am able to, despite being critical of lots of things, be at peace with what is.
* I love that I am so raw, honest and direct with the people surrounding me.

10 things I love about myself / that are going well:
(Comment from after having done it: “WOW, this is fun!)
The first ten are for Oct 29 (since I am from Germany and your mail reached me at night when I wasn`t on the internet anymore)
1. I love that I laugh a lot.
2. I love that I am in a good mood most of the time.
3. I love that I am exceptionally friendly most of the time.
4. I love that people notice my being genuinely friendly and that they profit from it mentally.
5. Yesterday I could help an old lady come more to peace with her husband`s passing away by telling her that he seemed to have had no pain and suffering in his last hour.
6. I love my knowledge-hunger concerning babies` needs even though I still don`t have any.

8. I have had a good influence healthwise on my friend L.
9. I love my passion and faithfulness for my boyfriend.
10. I love that I learn more and more how to be a better partner and that I have the WISH to evolve in that concern (not like some people who think there is no need to do so and who are looking for mistakes only in their partner)
The next ten are for today:
1. I was nice to my fiend Lara today even though I have a pattern of not being nice to her in certain situations.
2. I love my “natural” nose. It`s small, but not grotesquely small like some noses after plastic surgery, and it has cute little nostrils.
3. I love the fact that I`ve never did alter my exterior body-appearance artificially since puberty (no plastic surgery with boobs larger or smaller, fat suction, nose-alteration, no tatoos)
but:
4. I love the holes in my earlobes (got them at age 14) so I can wear earrings.
5. I love my face on most days (even more so with earrings.
6. I love the laughing wrinkles next to my eyes even though I am only 28.
7. I love that I otherwise look younger than I am.
8. I love the form of my hands.
9. I mostly love the form, structure and surface of my “all natural” finger nails (I only cut them about once a week and that`s it).
10. I love that I am a good runner.

Thank You Tera for this opportunity! I’ve learned a lot from it and I can’t wait to see what I learn from the Body Enlightenment program!!!

I’m looking at life now as quests that I simply have to complete to make life fun and enjoyable and if something comes up I just work around it or through it. It will always turn out in the end.
Thanks again Tera!!!
Blessings,
Joy
By Mea Amalieh on Oct 30, 2011
Dear Tera and all you wonderful women out there posting beautiful things! I am on a “love myself to the max” mission, and this assignment comes at the perfect timing! I have just been to a retreat in the mountains of Barcelona, where I connected so deeply with the Divine in me that I am blown away by the true beauty of who we really are. I have been sick for some years now and have tried sooo many things “to make it go away” … Including raw foods, green juices and all that jazz, but nothing made a real difference. And I saw that it was because I was doing it from a place of shame and selfhatred about who I thought I was. What I didn’t like about myself has been the star of my show – oh so subtly – for way to long now. What is now crystal clear to me is that the only thing that heals all the twisted darkness is my loving attention to it! It is so simple, yet is has taken me 31 years to understand this…. So here comes my list:
1: I love myself for the courage to come here and really MEET myself in both my glory and my misunderstandings.
2. I love the readiness in me to open up to all those parts of myself that I have shut down, and then sticking with them untill my love made them open and colourful again.
3. I love my ability to channel divine energies and my newfound courage to own up to the not-so-divine ones without judgement.
4. I love love LOVE the gifts my body has shown me! The cancerous growth in my uterus turned out to be a disowned amazonian jaguar goddess, smokin hot and on fire with passion!!! Best surprise ever!
5. I love that I am creating a beautiful and supportive network of wonderful, strong, love-dedicated women around me.
6. I love that I am starting to deeply appreciate my uniqueness for the first time in my life!
7. I love that within 24 hours I totally embodied these two thoughts “I don’t want to be anyone but me” and “if I die now it would be alright, my life is perfect and I am complete”
8. I love my sensitivity and empathy.
9. I love what I see when I really look within without judgement.
10. I love my willingness to open more and more and then a little more, even though I am scared a lot.
Phew, that was good
Thank you for this assignment, Tera.
And thank you to all your inspiring posts, lovely ladies out there responding!

By the way, I’m looking for some European B.E. participants for sharing and support. Are there any Raw Divas from France, Germany, UK, Spain or other EU countries? It’s so difficult to find a community of raw vegans over here. Looking forward to your replies !!!

Dear Kornelia, I won’t be in the BE this time (hopefully next ..) But it would be nice to exchange ideas/ experiences of being vegan / raw overhere. At this moment I am ‘only” vegetarian but I’ve been macrobiotic most of my life and trying to go that way again. Are you in Germany ? Greetings Jona

Hi Jona, I live in north-east of France. I’m not a complete vegan yet, nor a 100% raw foodist as it’s more difficult to stay raw in winter when it’s really cold but I’m totally into healthy food (to a big despair of my two teenaged children but they still enjoy the meals I make for them and don’t crave junk food). I don’t know how in Germany but here in France when you say in a restaurant that you are vegetarian, they will suggest some fish or a salad with ham in it. I cannot imagine their reaction if I said that I’m vegan. They’d probably even not know what that means:-))).

I just read this today and love, Love, LOVE what I am hearing! Thank you ladies and here it goes…I love this excersize cause I’m in need of some self-love!
The 10 things I Love about ME today.
1-I love that I work with new moms and their sweet babies…some days it is emotionally staining but who can’t call the sweet smell of a newborn or recently born baby a blessing and that warmth that overwhelms your chest when they snuggle up in your neck a gift. I love that I have a sense of smell and a heart that can appreciate these gifts.
2-I love that when I woke up this morning I felt stiff…I ran a half marathon yesterday with my iron man of a husband and I feel like it is a gift to have this body and to have been able to enjoy the company of such a special man yesterday.
3=I love that I have learned a great truth from my soul mate and that I have this day to continue to learn it…I am happy.
4-I love that I look for the good in people and try to remind them of it.
5-I love that I love opera and can sing it with great feeling.
6-I love that I love to read and the world that has opened up to me because of it.
7-I love that I can cry.
8-I love that I am a mother and though it doesn’t always happen, I am also trying to overcome generations of habit and parent their souls, not mine.
9-I love that I speak spanish…at on time I was crazy (or sane) enough to marry a sexy latin man who is patient enough to tutor this guerra, guerra in the language of love.
10-I love that I am taking on this challenge.
Thank you Tera, for this reminder of the blessings I have been given.

Day 2: shorter, and still sweet.
1) I love that my husband and I had the courage to embark on the risky business of buying and running an organic farm.
2) I love that I appreciate my husband every day, and that I laugh with complete abandon at all his silly and wonderful antics — he is my humor hero!
3) I love that I send health ideas to my friends and family, and that they actually listen!
4) I love that I let myself take a day to spend reading (after the berry farm closed!) (I was reading Joel Fuhrman’s “Eat to Live”, actually!) and that I have managed to be OK with that, even though I do have a big old “to-do” list, like everyone else I would suppose!
5) I love that I try to make my suggestions to folks meet them where they are at, not where some objective idea would say they should be.
6) I love that I love our home… it is sweet, small, cozy, not fancy, a bit messy right now, but full of great energy and color and happiness.
7) I love that I remain a devotee of my Teacher, even when I am so far from what I “think” a devotee should be.
8) I love that I remember, almost every single day, a message that came to me via my Teacher, in a dream, about 15 years ago: “It’s about Feeling, it’s not about perfection”.
9) I love that I actually am gaining some wisdom as I get older!
10) I love that I know what detoxing feels like, and that I’m willing to go through it when the time comes, b/c I know that I will feel so good when on the other side of it.

Hi Kim!
Well, it’s interesting b/c my husband and I had a wee tiff last night… and it had a bit to do w/ how I get a bit obsessed with the whole health thing, and what I do w/ that obsession!!! Funny, that! AND, it is true. AND, we got thru our hard time… AND, it was good for me to see some things I needed to see, and to feel my softness and love. So, it ain’t always a bliss ride. But it is good, and I do love him very much, and I am thankful for his love. I truly don’t take it for granted – I find that this appreciation is one of the good things about getting a bit older! I know that our relationships are precious and fragile, and sometimes I’m a Leo lion barrelling thru, but if I can get still and feel, then it all comes together again. Much to say, but not right now! I just know that I am still learning (and will always be still learning!) to love more fully, without my ideas of how someone else “should be” — and w/out my asking them to be something I “need them to be” so that I can be who I am… Being who I am really is my job!
And this site, and this exercize, is a big help w/ that.
Thx again to Tera, who I feel has a handle on knowing that our love is bigger that what we eat!!
Whew… well that was a mouthful, so to speak!
over and out,

Day 2 and I was about to head to bed, when I remembered that I want to start doing this exercise daily. This is a healthy habit that I’d like to make a part of every day.
10 Things I Like about Me on Oct 30th:
1. I love that I when a friend gave me the gift of a homemade sweet potato pie today, I was able to tell her that I am staying away from processed flours. She wasn’t hurt and I survived saying no!
2. I like my curly hair.
3. I love that I chose to make myself a salad for dinner – romaine with tomatoes and strawberries. mmmmmm
4. I like that I am creative. Had the idea to make a little book of salad and dressing recipes as Christmas presents for family and friends this year. I’m excited!
5. I had a quart of green juice for breakfast this morning and another for lunch. Yes!!
6. I am thrilled with myself for remembering to come and post this list today.
7. I am grateful that I am committed to taking care of my emotions. There was the possibility of an emergency situation at work this morning, but before I went to see what the problem was, I stopped, closed my eyes and said a prayer. After I was centered, I went and the “problem” was gone. Ha!
8. I am a good cook. One of my daughters asked today if I would make the hummus that I made a long time ago because she enjoyed it so much.
9. I am a good friend. I went to visit a friend in the hospital today and the time we spent cheered her up (and encouraged me too!).
10. I have decided to love myself by getting a good night’s sleep and go to bed ON TIME instead of staying up and hanging with the family. They are all watching a football game and if I stayed up with them, it would blow my morning plans.
Good night!

Looks like I missed day 1, but I’ll gladly participate!
I may not know as much as experts, but I am glad to be a resource to my friends and to be able to heal myself of minor ailments!
Ten things I like about me:
1. My eyes. I used to think brown eyes were “boring,” and wished I had green eyes, or hazel, or blue – anything more “interesting” than brown. But over the years, various friends and lovers have complimented me on my eyes, and I recently realized that yes, I do think they are beautiful too!
2. My intelligence. I am a smart woman!
3. My warmth.
4. My creativity!
5. My dedication to giving/charity/volunteering. I believe in giving as much as I can to others – even though this means I don’t have as much “spending money” or time as I’d like.
6. My hair is long and beautiful.
7. My feet, legs, ankles, arms, and really my whole body because I love being able to dance. I am so grateful to be healthy and fit enough to dance even a little.
8. My sense of integrity.
9. My work ethic.
10. My knowledge of helpful healing herbs and natural remedies.

I love:

2. that I am friendly and welcoming with new acquaintances, not only with established friends.
3. my skin – even when it is itchy and dry and painful with eczema in places, it is still very lovely on most of my body, and when I take extra good care of it, it really shows!
4. my sense of color and design – I “have a good eye” for placement, color matching, shape, and other design elements.
5. my cute little belly button.
6. that I take time each night/morning to snuggle with my cats.
7. my organizational skills and
8. my attention to detail.

78. I love how I can get tenacious and focused on a project and feel a sense of flow.
79. I love myself for cleaning out my refrigerator and sorting the food so that everything looks nice and is easy to see.
80. I love myself for recently handling some moderate disappointments and stressors fairly easily. It felt good to feel my feelings yet not dwell on them.

81. I love myself for keeping a sense of humor when discovering that a shirt I really liked had several holes chewed through it this morning, and forgiving myself for leaving it in a place where my puppy-girl could get access to it.
82. I love myself for being cranky about the time changing an hour twice a year. I don’t have to approve of changing clocks for daylight saving time.
83. I love myself for taking time today to do an activity I initially didn’t want to do, and being responsive to myself.
84. I love myself for really listening to two people today who were experiencing emotional hurt and needed to be heard and supported.
85. I love myself for extending generosity to a family member and at the same time keeping focused on my own well-being and saying no where I need to.
86. I love myself for making a call to schedule some needed help with my yard work. What a relief it will be to get some help.
87. I love myself for caring enough to be present for my friend who is having health challenges and doing what I can to support.
88. I love myself for making peace with the understanding that my ex and I will not be living together again. It makes me sad, yet it’s okay and I’m grateful for the clarity and the relationship we have.
89. I love myself for handing over my worries to a bigger source of Energy than me. I don’t need to carry a big load on my shoulders. I can feel lightness and enjoy life even when life is challenging.
90. I love myself for noticing how badly I wanted to jam food in my mouth over the news that there is a restaurant complex planned for my dear, quiet neighborhood. Instead of obsessing and freaking out, I can do what I need to do, say what I need to say, write what I need to write, and then let go of the results, and I can remember that there may even be some surprising good news in this.

91. I love myself for becoming realistic in my appraisal of my “day job”, not looking any longer at what it could be, but instead at what it is. This will prevent me from trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip any longer. It frees more energy up to do the work I love most.
92. I love myself for apologizing to a dear friend for attempting to intervene in his challenging path instead of just supporting and loving him while he does what he needs to do. It’s not mine to agree or disagree right now.
93. I love myself for paying closer attention to my fearful, critical, judgmental thoughts that were escaping my conscious notice while influencing my sense of well-being and my perception of others. I’ve laughed out loud a couple times today at knee-jerk thinking patterns I noticed.
94. I love myself for attending a class this morning.
95. I love myself for providing myself with nice, clean clothes.
95. I love myself for enjoying a beautiful salad this evening.
96. I love myself for making phone calls I needed to make today regarding the restaurant complex plans and what can be done.
97. I love myself for my communication with my friend initiated by the loss of her precious dog.
98. I love myself for gently cutting off a phone conversation with a person I tend to find draining instead of hanging on and being drained and mistaking it as kindness.
99. I love myself for getting the physical care I needed today from a wonderful holistic doctor.
100. I love myself for focusing on bills and accounting today.

101. I am soooo grateful that I got some capable help with my yard today. I love giving myself a more tidy yard and garden.
102. I appreciate that I took the time to gather a lot of heavy texts and professional books I’m not currently using to take them to my office instead of letting them clutter my home. Feels like I’m on a hunt to see where I can make life feel a little better, more comfortable. It seems like I’m getting a little kinder toward myself all the time lately.
103. I love myself for continuing this self-love activity that Tera has made available, and looking back through emails to discover that we’re invited to continue doing this beyond the ten days, and continue all the way to thirty! What a gift!!
104. I love myself for feeling the discomfort of sharing what I love about myself and what’s great about me, yet continuing to do it, anyway. It’s about getting beyond a notion that I’m bad if I show self-love or show that there are things I can find really lovable about myself. There’s a tiny tendency to want to feel shameful about doing it, and wanting to hide and I’m glad I’m noticing this. Also grateful my sense of shame appears to have shrunken.
105. I just love it that I cleaned out the rabbit’s play yard today and no longer need to remind myself to do it! Hooray!! When I walk by his home, I feel happy!
106. I love myself for letting a dear person know how much I appreciate the wonderful, supportive energy I’ve been receiving.
107. I love it that I’m being tender with myself and getting ready for bed early after a long day.
108. I love how my hair looks and it’s fun to admire it. My little niece is great with hair and now instead of frizzy, it’s flat-ironed and silky. I feel like a movie star!
109. I love myself for admitting out loud today that I’ve experienced an intolerable consequence from being too careless with eating: fat knees. I’m a little knock-kneed, and my knees are touching in a funny way when I walk. Without being harsh with myself, I see that this is not okay with me. I’ve been able to rationalize a lot of things, but can not rationalize the fat knees.
110. I love myself for giving one of my beloved pets a lot of freedom outside, because he needs that as much as safety. He’s the sidewalk diplomat and has many human friends of all ages and I feel blessed to be his home base!

111. I love myself for showing up this morning to support a new person in my profession, and gaining so much benefit myself in the process.
112. I love it that I’m looking into the possibilities of participating in a holistically-oriented cultural exchange trip to Cuba.
113. I love myself for taking the time to focus on some necessary neighborhood activism. I’m a good neighbor and that means a lot to me.
114. I love myself for dressing myself in my favorite clothes today and taking care to accessorize in a way that made me feel attractive. Yes!
115. I love it that I’ve identified my fat-knee issue mentioned yesterday and how it serves as a reflection point to consider what I want for my body.
116. I love myself for picking up the necessary supports to prop up the beautiful big hibiscus planted in my yard that blew over in heavy wind.
117. I love myself for caring for my new lettuce plants—five different kinds!
118. I love it that I wrote up a darn good flyer to share with others about a neighborhood issue.
119. I love my efforts to expand my financial competence. What a great adventure!
120. I love it that I took the time to think about some kind and loving things to write about myself today.

121. I love myself for taking time to go out to the co-op and get myself some lovely produce.
122. I love it that I took part in a somatic movement/dance session today.
123. I loved being full of laughter over my animal’s antics together this morning. I live in a warm part of the world and today is the first cold snap. They were so extra-energetic and extra-playful!
124. I love it that when I tried to use my credit card last night to pay a bill and it wasn’t in my wallet, I counseled myself kindly and kept the panic at bay whenever it started to flame up.
125. I love it that I was able to relax and sense that I would find the card and that it wasn’t necessary to call and cancel it. Still, I called to confirm the last charge which helped me locate where I’d probably left it and know that no unexpected charges had been made, which increased my comfort level.
126. I love how compassionate with myself I was through the whole process, and how good it felt to slide the card back into its place in my wallet. Sure seems like I’m being so kind with myself lately (thanks, Tera, for the consciousness-raising!).
127. I love it that I was able to make connection with a friend that felt overdue, and made a fun plan to celebrate his new home.
128. I love it that a kitchen experiment didn’t go well and I stayed philosophical instead of getting discouraged. I’m on a learning curve with new ways to prepare food, and some things will go well and some won’t.
129. I love myself because I am alive and breathing and full of possibility.
130. I love it that I chose to dress myself in clothes that are comfortable but look pretty good on me rather than the slouchy thing I almost put on. It felt good to move through today feeling more attractive that I might have. A nice little gift for myself.

131. I love it that I participated in a holotropic breathwork group session for 11-11-11.
132. I love it that I was up-front and supported myself during twinges of insecurity this morning while interacting with a pair of very dynamic, attractive people. Without telling the long version of the story, I think the interaction may have led me to a fitness teacher whose philosophy is congruent with mine, along with simply giving me a confidence boost.
133. I love it that I spent quality time today with my neighbor across the street and her little daughter.
134. I love myself for learning how to concoct a favorite ginger tonic for myself like the one I can no longer get at the recently closed local raw foods restaurant.
135. I love myself for opening up my senses and taking in the beauty of this day.
136. I love myself for doing some pet care that I was avoiding because I knew how much my little dog would hate it but it needed to be done. I did it as gently as possible and he’s fine and isn’t holding it against me.
137. I love myself for saying no today in a way that was kind to myself.
138. I love myself for beginning the day with inspirational reading.
139. I love it that I’ve set aside time to pay some bills today, and accept and support myself for feeling some habitual fear about it…and accept that I’m going to love that fear into non-existence.
140. I love myself for hiring the twelve-year old son of a friend to help me with some weeding in the eco-friendly ornamental peanuts that are slowly progressing as a ground cover in the yard.
Reply by Scottie on November 13th, 2011
141. I love myself for noticing more frequently a “me” that walks in the world with easy confidence and feels more comfortable in my skin than ever before. Yes!
142. I love it that I have surrendered, and will no longer submit myself to any rigid food ideologies and food protocols except for when it serves my own play and experimenting and enjoyment.Yes!
143. I love it that I intend to no longer allow myself to feel shamed because I don’t live what’s considered the correct lifestyle by somebody else. Oh, yes-yes-yes!!!
144. I love it that I’m finally, fully realizing I don’t have to be a complete (unattainable) Barbie-Goddess of Perfection before I can fully give what I have to offer. I can do it now, exactly as I am, dear precious human me.
145. I love it that I’m re-framing my worries about the shifting state of the world and my country and envisioning a more healthy growth process.
146. I love it that I watched/listened to an uplifting online video on self-esteem.
147. I love myself for taking time out to be with my friend today.
148. I love it that I got plenty of sleep and woke up fully refreshed and ready to go this morning.
149. I love it that I watched and listened to parts of the self-esteem video again, and took notes on those parts that really spoke to me.
150. I love myself for embarking on the first days of this BE program, getting my sign-on instructions clarified, and getting my profile and photo up. Yaaaay!!!

Day 2…the first day was hard to come up with ten things. I’ve put a lot of thought into today!
1 I looked in the mirror twice today. On purpose. And I didn’t cringe. In fact, the second time I smiled at myself.
2 I called a friend in need today and brightened her day. And took time to feel good about it.
3 I met friends for lunch even though I did not want to get dressed this morning.
4 I got dressed this morning
5 I listened to others today instead of focusing on negative self talk
6 I walked eight blocks.
7 that walk was on a crowded street, which I usually avoid because I don’t want people looking at me
8 I changed my nail polish from dark grey to a very positive nude color. Fingers and toes. I’ve been black or gray for over a year. When people ask, I tell them it suits my mood. This should surprise them!
9 I have great toes. They look good in sandles!
10 I stopped eating today when I felt a little full. I didn’t even finish! And I tried not to feel guilty.
Until tomorrow …

Reply by Gracie on October 30th, 2011
Thank you… I can totally relate to many of these things. Remembering that it’s ok to look in the mirror and there is no reason to cringe is something I have to remind myself of regularly. And the negative self talk…and not wanting to go anywhere because I don’t want people looking at me; learning to move past that is so hard but so powerful. Thanks again for sharing.

Well, I hesitated and then took a brief peek at some comments and thought yes!! I can do this! I think!
#1. I’m proud that today before my daughter’s hockey game she asked me to juice her some carrot juice. I love that she respects my ideas on healthy living! And that made me so proud. She also mentioned after the game (she is just new to it) it was the first time she could keep up, felt more energy, (she was sweaty) and felt good after that hard a workout!!
#2. I don’t know how quite to say this. We have always seemed to be not well off come special times, such as Xmas, birthdays, etc. My children are very greatful for the maybe hand made or smallest of gifts. I make the best of the times, and looking back, when times are better, they have fond memories and bring up their little presents that they loved. In their minds those times were the best. I love that.
#3. I love that I have taught my children to care about animals, have respect for them and help take care of them! And understand how hard it can be to look after something! They learned that one by doing it!! And not without some fussing, but the hard way!!
#4. I somehow find the patience to handle a very hectic family! Meaning all active, stubborn, gung ho, hyper, but super high on living family. And although it spins me in circles and I can’t breath, still manage to pick myself up, get myself ready and do two jobs. My kids are not couch potatoes
#5. I love how the blue jays come to the porch every morning for their hanful of peanuts I toss out. The odd time I can sit out with a tea, but not often. But rain or shine they start calling in the morning from the trees. And they always come as soon as I go out. My husband can’t believe it.
#6. I always help out my friends when things are tough. Even when I’m having a tough time to.
#7. I love how when I’m finally in my messy jeep flying off to work in the morning on a sunny day I can calm down and look up into the blue sky and take a deep breath and appreciate that I am driving to work and am ok.
#8. I love that I still want to cozy up the kids in bed and they are 10 and 12. And they love it to.
#9. I love that I am hard working.
#10. I love that in the spring I can’t wait to get a garden going so that we can have our own produce and the kids can’t wait now either. We just planted the garlic and they both with enthusiasm. That has taken a few years, but I realized this planting they have some good life skills starting to set in. All that hard prompting at times and just seeing them enjoy our time together! I love that I have persevered as lots of times there was flying dirt!! But as each year passes they are ready for the next!

I love my Lord and Creator and I am passionate about sharing Him with others.
I love the snow that is falling, I know that is not really about me but it shows a new beginning and I am starting a new beginning with my health.
I love that fact that I see through clear glasses but I look for the roses anyway.
Because I have joy, I love to sing…. not well but I love it anyway.
I love the fact that I am halfway done with this list.
I love that I am a good story-teller.
I am excited about the fact that I am willing to learn a new way of eating for my health.
I love helping others.
I love making mosaics.

Oh, this has been amazing! All day long, since tI wrote the first list, new things have been comming to my mind, why I should love myself. This could be the best therapy, I’ve had. So I’ll turn to my body this time.
1. I love my eyes – they’re wide and beautiful, when you look deep enough, it’s surprising, how many colours are there, that it is even imposible to define one single colour of my eyes. I’m so thankful for eing able to see…
2. I love my muscles, especially my strong legs, that keep on carrying me arround. I’m so thankful for being able to walk, run and jump. Not every person can enjoy it.
3. I love my womb! Oh God, how i love it! I’m so thankful for being able to carry and naturally give birth to my two kids.
4.I love my face – well it’s actually beautiful, I wouldn’t change anything about it.
5. I love the little wrinkles around my eyes. I’ve always found that beautiful, because they tell, that the person smiles not only with her lips, but with her eyes too.
6. I love my hipbones – I’ve allways found them very attractive.
7. I love my skin – it’s soft and gloving even without taking much care of it.
8. I love my breasts. And I’m so thankful for being able to produce enough milk to breastfeed my babies.
9. I love my arms. It’s beautiful to be able to hug other persons with these hands.
10. I love my nerves. They are doing an incredible job and I feel I need to take better care of them.

Ok. So my first comment was under the name Bear, and the second under AV. So from here on out I’ll combine them to be AVBear
This is my third post. And I realized this morning when I thought about sending this in, that I actually think I’m feeling less resistance to doing this today than I did the first two days. Thank you for that, Tera!
(And thank you, Kim, for your response to my first posting)
1. I love that despite my history with my family, that I am creating a new family now, where communication and respect are at the heart of our little family.
2. I love my little daughter more than words can say, and I love that when she looks at me we are able to truly see each other. I love that I see and respect her in a way which I haven’t experienced
3. I love when my cooking makes people come together and be happy
4. I love to ride my bicycle, and I love that I can and do ride the 10km to work and back home again 3-4 times a week.
5. My husband loves and supports me (even through this last year of trials)! I feel very lucky to have him.
6. I am working at a job that allows for and expects me to keep learning.
7. The home we live in is light and warm, even in the dark of winter. And in the North where we live, that is quite a luxury!
8. I have friends and family in my life that are there for me.
9. I am learning to be a working mom, and I’m doing a good job so far!
10. I’m truly glad I realized it would be too much for me and too overwhelming to return to work full-time, and was able to stand my ground in order to make arrangements so I could return part time.
Yay! I did it!

do you think raw food eating helps adrenal fatique and hormone imbalance?
[Reply]
Reply by Eva on October 31st, 2011
Yes, for myself I am pretty sure. Eating healthy with a lot of raw foods and keeping a positive attitude helped me so much.. I had Addison and Hashimoto – two “chronic” hormone diseases.. no Cortisol, very little t3 and t4 and I am completely hormone pill free for 6 months tomorrow. I’m still fat and struggeling, but I love this so much.. and raw food definitely was one of the kicking points although I’m not keeping it anymore..

Ten Things I Love About Myself, Day 3
1. I love my ability to quickly bounce back to a good mood even when I feel bad
2. I love that I am willing to put so much work, time and energy into getting better
3. I love that I am a fast learner, able to quickly learn and understand pretty much anything in a short time
4. I love that I am multi-talented, both right and left brained and interested in many completely different things
5. I love that I am loyal to my family, friends and partners
6. I love that I am able to help others in all kinds of ways depending on what help they need
7. I love my instinct to protect and take care of animals, children, old people and all other people who cannot defend themselves well
8. I love that I am highly sensitive. Sometimes it’s a pain in the ass to deal with, but I wouldn’t give this gift up for all the money in the world
9. I love the excess fat covering my body. Yes I really do. It’s part of who I am right now, it’s part of the physical expression of who I am right now, and as such it is perfectly beautiful. I love it. I can let go of it, but as long as it is me, I love it. How could I not love all of myself?
10. I love that I am honest and say things as they are for me, whether it’s polite to do so or not.
Thank you Tera, what a fun and nice challenge.

Hello, fellow Body Lovers!
I just read this email this morning, and really want to participate in this “10 Things I Love” for 10-30 days, even though I am not in a financial position to partake in the BE program right now. My husband’s job is literally hanging on the edge of a cliff, and I am unable to go back to work as previously planned, since I am now (unexpectedly) homeschooling our 5 1/2 yr old son. We’re still paying off our move from almost a year ago – a move that got us from the U.S. west coast to the U.S. east coast – very expensive! Anyway, despite all the challenges that are now before us, I still want to do this little exercise because I feel it is a good practice to start, and because it is something that I can easily do!!
My 10 Things:
1) I am so super-excited and ELATED and GRATEFUL that my little stick this morning said “PREGNANT!!!!” I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that I am now pregnant!!! (this is another reason why I don’t think I can participate in the BE program at this time….I’m pregnant, and in the very beginning of my first trimester)
2) I love that my body quickly and easily released 25 pounds by following Tera’s raw detox programs (the 7 day and the 21 day). I think that getting my body healthy in this way over the past 4 months helped me achieve #1.
3) I love that I listened to my body when it asked for acupuncture treatments (another benefit to achieving #1, I’m sure!).
4) I love that I was able to be patient with my son last night at 9:30pm when he felt the need to talk about his worries and fears for over an hour. I am proud of myself for being completely present, patient and compassionate with him for as long as it took for him to release.
5) I love that I woke up in a hopeful mood this morning, after having a negative pregnancy test 2 days ago, and before taking another one this morning.
6) I love the fact that it snowed here 2 days ago, and that I proudly shared my joy and excitement about it – despite everyone else around me complaining about it.
7) I love that I overcame my fear of change and the unknown to move here to the east coast, where we can now experience these beautiful changes of season.
8) I love that I can wear my itty bitty Halloween shirt again!!!
9) I love that I was able to make the bottom half of my son’s costume from scratch and all by myself, and that I did a pretty good job with it.
10) I love that I courageously chose to homeschool our son, which I know is the best decision for him. I love that I released my fears and worries about that decision, and jumped into it with both feet.
11) I love that I am choosing to do this exercise just for the positive feel of it, the practice practice, and the personal benefit that I will and do get from it!!!
Thank you SO MUCH, Tera, for being such a positive and enlightening beacon for all of us here, and for the many many many more people you will soon be reaching! Thank you! Thank you!!! oxoxox

Thanks, Beth!! I am super excited about finally being pregnant again, and very happy with our move. We were hoping to land in MA, but ended up in Maryland instead. We see it as a stepping stone that at least got us out here from California!
I hope you pay off your move quickly too!!

Hi Pascale!
Funny how some folks just resonate and inspire!!
I love that you love your walks in the sun. I love them when I do them, but sometimes after farming all summer, I just hunker down inside in the winter… And, sometimes that is fine and self-nurturing, but then I tend to get “stuck” and I feel it would be good for me to get on out! And so I loved to read that.
Also, my husband is supportive, but he identifies when I’m kind of obsessing… but the main thing is, I need to do what I need to do, and be happy, and then he supports. So, something about your loving that you are sticking with your healthy choices, while your husband feels it is extreme, resonates…. For me, I need to START doing my healthy choices! And I need to stop waiting for him to be the leader in this, b/c this is my choice and life and body, not his! Sounds a bit silly, at my age, but it seems to be an issue. Food is so fundamental, it is hard to have different choices in one household, but it is absolutley possible — especially with love as the center!
anyway, I thank you for your lists!
Patricia

Good for you! my partner also thinks I exaggerate my food choices, but whenever I cave and eat “regular” food, I get bloated and feel awful.
I am also weaning myself off of antidepressants, so I know how difficult it can be. Those walks in the sun really do help don’t they?
[Reply]
Reply by Patricia on November 2nd, 2011
Yeah… I’m sure walks in the sun are hugely helpful to being positive! Almost as good as these lists!! I am still just a beginner at making my diet much better, but I know the value, and I am making some headway. I know my husband supports me when I “just do it” — so that is good. But those walks! For sure I need to make sure I give myself the luxury of some sun shining on my face, when the sun is out!
And for some reason, it takes a “push” for me to do that (especially when it is cold). The simplest things are the best, aren’t they?
Like: breathing deeply, and water, and… I never really gave it much thought… sun!
[Reply]
Reply by Pascale on November 2nd, 2011
Just think, sun makes plants grow and thrive. The sun is essential to create chlorophyll in plants, which we need to help alkalize our body. Sun gives us natural vitamin D, essential for 2000 functions in our body. Go out there girls, it’s a fantastic way to rejuvenate and it’s free!
Our partners will see how good all of this is by our example.
By Cherry on Oct 31, 2011
I love me, the whole package, all my little imperfections and everything… I am unique and I am special and you will never find another like me.

Day 3.. Here goes!!!
1) I love that I never give up hope that things can be better.
2) I love that I not only want to make my life better and everyone around me but I’d love to see every every living thing experiencing true joy and happiness…
3) I love that I look younger than my age even if I don’t feel it at this point in time..
4) I love that I have an open mind about things and am always open to hear new ideas..
5) I love that I am not satisfied with the status quo and that I long for a more interesting and fulfilling life…
6) I love that I am feeling more comfortable with a more eclectic sense of style..
7) I love that I feel so alive when out in nature..
8) I love that I can share my life wisdom with my children and admit that I still don’t have all the answers.. and also that I can share with them that as hard as it can feel to try and make changes, it is sooo worth it.. And hopefully get them to realize that life is what we make it and doing nothing, although somewhat comfortable, doesn’t help create the life we really want..
9) I love how far I’ve come in my life. I remember when I would have been afraid to go to the airport alone and now I travel all the time. I am much more independent that I used to be and I am growing stronger every day..
10) I love that I love routing for the underdog because I know that everyone has the potential to be great and it is so inspiring to see that transformation.. And I love people who dare to be different and who march to a different drum. I find them to be the most interesting people on the planet and they truly inspire me..
Hey, I thought I wouldn’t be able to come up with more things but it was actually easier today! Go figure!
Have a great day today everyone!!!

Day 3 of 30
10 things I love about myself today.
Hmm, this will be a bit harder, as I think my man is about to break up with me, and I really do love him. *sigh* Here goes.
1. I love that I am kind.
2. I love that my friends know they can rely on me.
3. I love that I don’t discipline my children the way I was, that I try “time-outs” and taking away privileges instead of beatings.
4. I love that I am finding the energy to participate in building a haunted yard for a friend, even though I’d rather stay in bed and cry, lol.
5. I love that my children LOVE me!!!
6. I love that when they have nightmares, they feel safe to come into my bed and sleep with me.
7. I love that I don’t fall prey to my ex’s campaign of anger, resentment and hate towards me.
8. I love that I am taking steps to find out about my mysterious (albeit very dysfunctional) family.
9. I love that I am open to the good things in life.
10. I love that I was clever enough to buy my own little house, even though I am struggling to keep it instead of renting and never having a yard I can call my own. This is something I hope I can leave to my children, and that makes me very happy.
Ok, so, day 3 done. The children are gone to thier dads, so the next few days may be harder. Good luck to us all!!!

Because it’s Monday and I am at work, I am dedicating “what I love about myself” to my professional/work life:
–
I love mentoring younger people in my office as they learn and grow in their professional life.
–
I love how focused I can be and get an incredible amount of work done when I put my mind to it.
–
I love being able to balance between the internal challenges of few resources, limited time & budget with the client’s needs & expectations.
–
I love working with such creative, talented people.
–
I love it when the sugar & caffeine cravings pop up around 3-4pm and after taking a deep breath and having a big glass of water, they go away. I don’t give into them as easy as I use to.
–
I love working with people from all over the globe and really don’t mind changing up my schedule and working odd hours some times so I can teleconference with people half way around the world.
–
I love making my work space all me. Little things that make me feel good, make me smile, help release stress and make the work day all that much enjoyable – a few pictures, fresh flowers, a pretty pitcher of water and my my favorite iTunes work day playlists.
–
I love that feeling when I have pushed through a challenge and come out on the other side successful. Many times when things can get really tough, I just want to quit, run, play hookie – anything to avoid the hard work. But I rise to the occasion and end up learning so much about myself an making myself that much more valuable around the office.
–
I love getting into the office early before anyone else arrives and having at least an hour of quiet work time with no interruptions. It gets me ahead of the day.
–
I have taken a few different paths in my career life and while I could be a lot higher on the corporate ladder if I stayed on the same path, I love the diversity of training and work experience I bring to any new job. I feel I have a lot more to offer because I haven’t been at the same company for 10-20 years.

Second time around… let’s see!
* I love that I’m getting back to being a child as well by being completely present with my children
* I love my passion with all new things such as now my Vitamix, which infects all my family – they all cannot await the next smoothie and are continuously pressing for more, and do not oppose spinach any more!
* I love that I am good at presenting things in front of other people and acknowledge that I need good preparation to do this.
* I love that I am not afraid of new things.
* I am proud of myself that I have, since a few months, renounced to being in stress. I just take more time for everything, and if time is not sufficient, the less important things will not be done.
* I love that I keep on decluttering my house and that 80% of stuff has found its final destination.
* I love that I do not give up, even if between the last bout of decluttering and the next one are 6 months!
* I love that I love nature so much. Brings me back to what is essential. So I can easily sit for hours on end and look at the sea or in a fire.
* I am proud of myself that I manage better and better to set my limits towards other people, especially my beloved ones.
* I love that I generally sleep so well.
This is interesting. Yesterday was much harder! And I feel like I have been digging deeper into another level today. Curious what tomorrow holds for me!

Tera, I now wonder if I would ever really get my hands down to this if not your “game” – and realize the power of this challenge. Thank you so much!
1. I love that many of my intentions today became ‘deeds’
2. I love that I could concentrate on the positive for the whole day.
3. I love that I began to understand my REAL feelings lately, thanks to EFT.
4. I love that it revealed to me recently to what extent I had suppressed MY REAL DESIRES for a very long time (one simple example is that I always owned dogs instead of cats, which I love a lot, and now, finally, with a adorable cat in the house(thanks to my daughter) I started thinking: why haven’t it ever come to mind – and I found out that my Mom was never fond of the cats).
5. I love that I made a proper green juice today – not a sweet one
6. I loved to have a green tea instead of coffee in the morning
7. I love that today I didn’t beat myself up as much as usual
8. I love that I had motivation to do smth to love myself for and did it.
9. I love that I managed to talk into the happiness my little one who was very upset at her bedtime
10. I love that I’m here – for me it’s a big step forward, I’m quite reserved and hard to open

Hi Anastasia, I can relate to your #10 – For the longest time I kept to myself, thinking there was nothing interesting to share. This exercise really opens me up and I’m realizing that it’s okay to open ourselves up to other people, and that we will be accepted for who we are!

Alrighty, day #3! This is beginning to train me to see good things about myself all day. I love it!
10 Things I Love About Myself:
1. I love my blood pressure! Today, I had an appointment w/ my gp and for the first time in over 6 years, I had a normal reading. Yessss! I keep being told by docs that I would need to go on medication and I finally decided to cut out all salt, take in more juice and give myself time to sit in peace each day. It’s paying off!
2. I love my adrenals! After the appt w/ my gp, I went for a yearly check up with my iridologist and got a clean bill of health. Oh yes!! The only thing she said that needed help was my adrenals. BUT, her words were, “Your adrenals are a little weak.” Ha! That’s a huge improvement from the days of “Your adrenals are shot!”
3. I love that I am drawn to the color purple. Today, I wore a purple scarf and a purple jacket. It makes me smile.
4. I love that I’m not always a goofy mom. Was chatting with my girls this morning and trying to help them out with some insecurity issues (a common ailment with teens… and adults). Later today, one of my daughters said, “Thanks for the talk earlier today, Mom. It really helped me. And by the way, I don’t think you were goofy.” (Oh, I love that girl!)
5. I love that I chose to be a Christian Life Coach. It helps me grow as a person and I enjoy helping others.
6. I love my fingers. I have suffered with puffy fingers for a long time and now they are starting slim down. One of my rings has been slipping off all day. Makes me feel schkinny.
7. I love the gray hairs that have sprouted up around my crown. One of my daughters told me she thinks it’s cool that I have grey hairs. Niiiiice.
8. I love that I’ve completed menopause. My iridologist told me that doing so has brought me into my “wisdom years.” How cool is that? This is what I’ve lived for all my life. Would never want to go back.
9. I love my ability to come up with analogies when I’m trying to explain something to someone. I’m often told that doing so helps make things much more clear.
10. I love my creativity. Today, I made a new dressing and a new salad. They are going to be the first entry in my Christmas recipe booklet to family and friends.

Hi, Armchair!
I’m reading your list
– so now you know if people read your writing.
And I agree, smiling causes fewer wrinkles
I’m also glad for your ankles (I remember swollen ankles too, and it’s great to be free).
Have a great day!

Tera you have thrown down a huge gauntlet and I am ready to join my sisters in picking up the challenge. Ladies, do you realize that we will be exploring 300 (THREE HUNDRED!!!!) separate things we love about ourselves in the next 30 days!!
Here goes:
1. I love that I am a teacher, which is what defines me these days since my children have grown and mostly left my house.
2. I love that I have really touched the lives of many of my students and that they have shared with me the ways I have made their lives easier. One student saved the lives of a crew aboard a cargo ship by being able to give instructions in ENGLISH to them!!!!
3. I love that I am totally fearless and have no reservations in trying anything new. I recently jumped bungee for the first time to pay a bet.
4. I love my weird sense of humor that helps me see the humor in even the blackest situation.
5. I love my strong body that takes me where I want to go, even when it is kilos up or down from my ideal weight.
6. I love the fact that I don’t need a car and can take public transportation. It is a good thing, because mine was stolen almost a year ago!!
7. I love that I can communicate equally in English and in Spanish and that I can read or see movies in both languages. Sometimes it is strange, because I don’t even remember which one I am speaking.
8. I love that my students trust me enough to share their confidences and ask me for real advice.
9. I love that I can play as hard as I work and that I take time to do nice things for myself.
10. I love that I can open my house to students, ex-students and friends who need a place to stay for a few days or even a few months.

These are truly great!!! I love them! I can see we have several things in common though I would never ever tried the bungee jumping as I have fear of falling or flying. What do you teach? English? Or Spanish? And where do you live? Tell me more about you….

DAY 3 and stressed cause I just got to number 8 and my computer just dumped it!! I’ll try again…:(
#1. I love how I am kind and generous. Find the true friends out of the ones that take advantage. But will be kind and generous still, no matter what.
#2. I love how my daughter want me to cheer at her hockey game.
#3. I love how my son still believes in the tooth fairy and asked me so innocently….. Mommy how can that tiny little fairy have the strength to carry all those heavy coins?? And that I can come up with a good answer! To preserve the magical joy of being young.
#4. I appreciate my parents and understand what they had to deal with.
#5. And I understand now how to re direct what was not positive.
#6. I love my heartfelt.
#7 I love my breasts that nursed my kids for 5
years and look better today 10 years later than they ever did and gave my kids the health and minds that they gave today!
#8. I am proud! I was the mom that fed my kids avacado as their first food! All other moms in my circle did the rule of pablum, etc., and so on! (cause they were scared and pressured). So many of those kids today have allergies, are resistant to antibiotics, have ear and throat issues! Can’t eat nuts! Or drink milk! To this day we have had no oral antibiotics or real Heath issues, and I appreciate that as most of my friends have gone thru the ringer, I’m glad I held to my beliefs! I AM Proud I was a REBEL!! of good stuff!
#9. I love how my kids will go for sea salt to heal a bobo or put coconut butter on dry lips, and have very little knowledge of pharmasuticals. They think that’s normal. And it is
#10. I feel awckward expressing this but I love how it’s making me feel.
I feel overwhelmed with being a part of this blog and realizing that I am SO not alone! And feel so much emotion and compassion for all us fellow partners. And we have a very brave and couragious soul guiding us through this with her own hectic life of single parent hood. You are such an inspiration Tera! My goodness! You are truly refreshing! You are so sincere…

You’re not stretching when you say that your dog loves you. It shows that you’re worthy of love. Animals are very particular about who they love. You’re obviously a brilliant person to have the unconditional love of your dog! In my opinion, don’t think of it as stretching and bask in it!!!

Ok. Here goes my fourth installment!
Tera, are you really sure you want all of our comments clogging up your blog?! It’s gonna be a lot of comments if you get 10-30 from all your readers!!! – oh dear… that’s my guilt speaking. My biggest piece of baggage: I don’t want to be a bother to anyone!
Time to turn it around with some things I love about me instead…
1. I love that communication and respect (and trying to be aware of those) are at the center of the family my husband and I have started.
2. I love that I love vegetables and fruits!
And I love that they taste good!
3. I love that I create healthy yummy food for my family and I love watching my daughter eat, especially when she signs ‘yummy’ (she’s too young to talk yet) to tell me she likes it.
4. I love riding my bicycle, and I love that I ride nearly 40km a week to get to and from work.
5. I love that I take ‘the long way home’ from day care with my daughter, and that we stop to look at flowers or birds or whatever else she finds interesting.
6. I love that I try to fill my life with happiness (even when I feel sad).
7. I love that I am working hard to get over the sadness that has filled me, and to sort out all the heavy emotional baggage I have so I can create a lighter healthier future for me and my husband and daughter
8. I love that I can get people together for a wholesome home-cooked meal that makes them cozy and happy.
9. I love that I have the opportunity to work doing something that feels important and interesting.
10. I love that I am working so hard to provide a better childhood for my daughter, than I feel I had.
Yeh! it felt a little artificial when I started typing the list, but having finished it, I’m starting to feel better, and reading through the list, I realize it’s true. So that is a start, isn’t it?

You are probably doing Tera a service. The traffic and number of comments generated on this post will garner a great deal of attention, and it will get passed around, and likely more women will buy the BE system than are getting it free or reduced by doing this!

well yeah. Actually it`s kind of funny because when I was younger I did not like it at all because it is different than people usually have. Its round and emergent. I just think that at some point in every persons life they begin to love the things that are special and different about them.
And I like it also because it makes me reflect about the connections we have in our life.
The ones we take as natural as the one we had with our mother:
- the ones that create our identity and give us our roots and a deeper meaning in life. The wisdom we have been given by our ancestors.
- but also the ones that keep us stuck in a certain closed reality that keep us from going on

Geez…I had great plans to be here everyday…and I missed TWO Days….what the @)%)@&). I keep letting life get in the way of my health and I’m determined to make this different. I am here today though and that’s what I need to focus on.
Thank you, Tera, for the sweet reply up there. And thank you for talking to my heart…
Okay…here goes….
I’m so excited about this program and am trying to round up the money so I can start this process with everyone but getting $100 off…that’s an offer I can’t refuse!
1. I love that I’m good at my job. I’m a first grade teacher and have been for 18 years. Each year I love it more and get better at it!
2. I love that I try hard to be a good mom. Not saying I get there everyday…but I like that I TRY (it’s easy to give up!).
3. I love to listen to others’ stories..that makes me an awesome listener.
4. I love that I didn’t call my doctor and beg her for weight loss drugs this morning (I was going to do it…:) but instead I’m trying to make REAL changes in my life.
5. I like even when I’m fat, I can look down at my toes and think they’re cute..:)
6. I love my lips. They are big and shaped perfect for kissing…and I like that I’m a good kisser…:)
7. I like that I’m flexible. I’m really good at going with the flow and not getting bent out of shape when things change course.
8. I love that I work hard to communicate with the families of kids in my class. I really do believe in the home-school connection and though it takes a lot of work, I’m committed to it.
9. I love that I enjoy healthy food. I LOVE green smoothies and am so excited to learn more about healthy eating.
10. I love I have the enthusiasm to do this program with everything I have. I have a bunch of health problems related to years of not taking care of myself….but I just feel this time is different. Every blog post you write, Tera, feels like you are talking to right to my heart.
I will be back and back and back (9 more times to be exact…:)
Then I’M SIGNING UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have put it in the universe that I need the money and it will come…:

DAY 3 and stressed cause I just got to number 8 and my computer just dumped it!! I’ll try again…:(
#1. I love how I am kind and generous. Find the true friends out of the ones that take advantage. But will be kind and generous still, no matter what.
#2. I love how my daughter want me to cheer at her hockey game.
#3. I love how my son still believes in the tooth fairy and asked me so innocently….. Mommy how can that tiny little fairy have the strength to carry all those heavy coins?? And that I can come up with a good answer! To preserve the magical joy of being young.
#4. I appreciate my parents and understand what they had to deal with.
#5. And I understand now how to re direct what was not positive.
#6. I love my heartfelt.
#7 I love my breasts that nursed my kids for 5
years and look better today 10 years later than they ever did and gave my kids
the health and minds that they gave today!
#8. I am proud! I was the mom that fed my kids avacado as their first food! All other moms in my circle did the rule of pablum, etc., and so on! (cause they
were scared and pressured). So many of those kids today have allergies, are
resistant to antibiotics, have ear and throat issues! Can’t eat nuts! Or drink milk!
To this day we have had no oral antibiotics or real Heath issues, and I
appreciate that as most of my friends have gone thru the ringer, I’m glad I held
to my beliefs! I AM Proud I was a REBEL!! of good stuff!
#9. I love how my kids will go for sea salt to heal a bobo or put coconut butter on dry lips, and have very little knowledge of pharmasuticals. They think that’s normal. And it is
#10. I feel awckward expressing this but I love how it’s making me feel.
I feel overwhelmed with being a part of this blog and realizing that I am SO not alone! And feel so much emotion and compassion for all us fellow partners. And
we have a very brave and couragious soul guiding us through this with her
own hectic life of single parent hood. You are such an inspiration Tera! My
goodness! You are truly refreshing! You are so sincere…
Much Adoration! Dana

DAY 4 — woweee!
Hi all you lovely ladies out there. You are sooooo inspiring. It is so happy just to read others love-lists…. Amazing. OK, since I’m becoming a bit of an Internet junkie during this, my first week off from the farm, I may have to try to limit my verbage (likely story…!:) [PS: ha!!! this was longer than any other entry! oh well, it is truly the happiest journal I have ever kept].
So, here goes:
1 – I love that I care about our kitties, Grace and Simon. I know, for sure, that they feel my love.
2 – I love that I remember my Aunt Harriet every day of my life — because she is in my heart, and the heart just remembers!. She was a Navy nurse for 20 years (in her day), and she passed on 2 years ago. Her incredible love for me, and for all her nieces and nephews, was a big part of all our lives. Of the entire family, I spent more time with her, as a child, than the rest of the kids (my dad died when my mom was pregnant with me, youngest of six kids, and my aunt retired from the Navy, moved home, and cared for me quite a bit). I think of her, pray for her, remember her great sense of humor and her generosity, every single day … and that is not an exaggeration. I love that she instilled so much in me, and I love that I carry on her love! (she was a cat lover too!! which is what reminded me of her)
3) I love that I am a person who creates nurturing environments, wherever I go.
4) I love that I keep on leaning into feeling what is best for me to do, on any given day — I am learning to trust my own feelings, and my intuition.
5) I love also, that while I am learning to trust myself, I am also learning to trust my Teacher. It is a process, a very dynamic process.
6) I love that I also remember another dream message I received many years ago from my Teacher: “You don’t need more insight, you just need to do”. This was tailor made for me (may not apply to all!) — but I am an insight and/or preparation addict!!! And I MUST just DO!! It is just who I am, and it requires a daily reminder!!
7) I love that I am learning to accept that my life doesn’t have to be about grandeur — How to say this? That small things can be filled with Great Grace!! That love can be revealed in the humblest of moments. That I don’t have to “conquer all”, but can just take a small step in the right direction. My loving husband has helped in my process of learning this. For instance, loving just one other person, up close, can be a very humbling experience!! It can be glorious too, but I guess even that gloriousness comes through, and is the most poignant, when I just feel, quietly, that I have gone beyond myself to reach out and give, whether in big or small ways, and on a day to day level, it is the small ways that add up!
8) I love about me that I went to Rome, Italy when I was 19 years old. I was struggling with some inner issues at the time, but I thrust myself into that experience because I needed to move on, and see what was out there. Italy (even tho I am not italian) is always a part of me somehow!
9) I love that I am very open minded.
10) I love that I love to dance… with wild and wonderful abandon!!

I love myself because
1. I had the courage to say what was on my mind
2. I did not get sucked into emotional drama
3. I used the tools to practice compassion
4. Stayed up until the early hours to journal, listen to the birds, sing, to reflect on the how perfect life is and to find the gift in every challenge
5. made a yummy, moist brownie cake. Glutenfree, lactose-free, organic- so my friend could have her favourite cake after over a year of having none.
6. made an excellent smoothie for 2.
7. I dared to write what I have been putting off for months. I finally said it! I feel so free. The outcome doesn´t matter. It´s good now.
8. I breathed through the pain with a patient of mine. No jumping up, no doing, doing, doing. Just sitting and breathing with them.
9. I saw someone as the same as me, instead of judging them and then going my own way
10. I love the burn in my muscles after a tough workout!

10 things I love about myself:
1. I’m resilient. I trust in the myself and the universe to get around even when I forget my wallet or have no money on me (which has happened lately and once used to make me feel worthless and impotent).
2. I’m committed. Look how I remembered to do this 4 days in a row.
3. I can find creative solutions to make things happen like when there is no babysitter, ask to have the kids sleep over at a friend even though it seems a big ask.
4. I have very lofty goals for healing myself and I have experiences that have made it happen.
5. I don’t give up. Even though I tried to upload a movie three times, even though I recorded something three times, I’ll still do it again.
6. I take responsibility for my feelings. When I attack my DH, as I did tonight, I admit it was not the best way to share my feelings.
7. I’m doing what is best for my personal growth: learning holistic pulsing AND going to a visionary Leadership class.
8. I can arrange a medley of details to make something work like find babysitters and make arrangements for the kids.
9. I’m a creative writer and just came up with a new word for green smoothies : Rawktail!
10. My ability to realize that figuring out the answers doesn’t work as a substitute for being present and willing to really feel. I realize I had a client I did this with, and I like that I can realize my mistakes and still be compassionate to myself about them without torturing myself over them.
11. I really try my best. I give life my all.

4) finding new and creative ways for managing our budget so that I can afford to buy organic products.
5) that I was even more patient with my son today, especially when my hunger-induced crankiness threatened my mood.
6) the fact that I have switched our family over to a more “green” lifestyle.
7) that I was able to turn this cold, uninviting basement into a warm, cozy, and comfortable home for my family.
8) being organized.
9) that I read about, explore, practice, and work everyday at being a better parent to my son than my parents were with me and my siblings.
10) my strong intuition.

ok….so here we go again….
1) I love that I just attended a boxercise class and even though I was so afraid I would be too unfit to see it through – I went… and it wasn’t so bad – and met some lovely people.
2) I love that I appreciate the night sky – the stars and the moon on a clear night
3) I love that I’ve been trying to eat healthier – and more raw since the weekend and I’ve managed it – now on day 4
4) I love that by doing this writing every day, I’ve already noticed a change in my confidence and am self-respecting myself more
5) I love that I appreciate children when I see though – even though I don’t have any of my own – yet.
6) I love myself for the home that I’ve created from the flat I currently rent and that people always say how nice it is when they come round
7) I love that I just took a pluge and paid off a large chunk of my credit card – still a bit on it to go though
8) I love that I swopped my annual leave to make my life more balanced so that I have more ‘me’ time when I need it
9) I love that I’m excited about raw and keen to give it a go – even if I’m not sure about how to go about it, or where to shop
10) I love that I’m learning to prioritise and am putting myself first for a change

* I love that sometimes I manage to go to bed early and know that this is in my own best interest
* I love that I can stand there and say that I know I don’t like water too much, leave alone cold water. And therefore seldom go swimming.
* I love that I keep on eating raw, despite still missing a recipe repertoire.
* I love that I keep on trying new things such as Shiva Nata
* I love that I try to keep uptodate with Social Media although my husband will have none of it
* I love that I am so close to my children
* I love that I stand firmly together with my husband for things we deem non-negotiable, and that we fight for it
* I love that I don’t take the easy route out, by moving into a cohousing and thus being confronted with other people’s (conflicting) needs on a daily basis
* I love that I often have good ideas and can take other people along who are uninspired
* I love that we do things our way, even if the whole neighborhood is staring at us and thinking “what kind of crazy people are they?”

1 I’m doing this even though my heart isn’t in it. And I’m continuing this list while fighting tears. Why? I need something to cling to today, and…
2 I admire my perseverance!
3 I thrive on a challenge. Today I remind myself of that.
4 I deal with pressure job pressure well. Personally? I could do that better
5 I know how to change a tire
6 I know enough about what’s under the hood of my car to make car salesmen step back and treat me with respect
7 I have an amazing network of friends. I rarely trouble them with my issues. We all have enough already.
8 I love to learn new things
9 I am a good storyteller
10 After years of trial and error, I can finally grow my fingernails (with the right products) and I like them!

Day 4

Wow, I just had to get in to this one- it is too seldom that people get the change to celebrate themselves this way and openly say what they love about themselves, without being critisized and called ego maniacs
I do love myself- I admit that I havent always felt that way, in fact I only recently discovered me and what a great person I really am- boy, have I been missing out on a lot for too many years!
So here goes:
1. I love that I am able to feel compassion with others, we are all one.
2. I love that I have raised my kids to be understanding and loveable, they accept people as they are and dont judge.
3. I love that I wake up every morning with a smile on my face and look forward to my day- 2 years ago that was a big effort on my part!
4. I love the fact that I am strong- I may bend but I do not break
5. I love that I dont get too caught up in other people´s problems anymore, it is not my job to control anyone or run anyones life but my own
6. I love that I can show my close friends and family how much I appreciate them, I am not afraid of showing them my feelings (anymore).
7. I love that even though I make a mistake- even a big one- I still love myself despite of it
8. I love that I have a past, a whole world of experiences and that I am able to share that with people and maybe give someone comfort or advice through that.
9. I love that I have a bright future filled with wonderful experiences ahead
10. I love that I am a woman!
I could probably find 10 more, but those come to mind first
