day12: you are loved and love yourself ...

Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love. Brene Brown

be careful of how you talk to yourself, self criticism and negativity does not help you in anyway!!! it's not a good form of self motivation!!! It really just adds more stress and anxiety to the situation.  

Cultivate a practice of self-acceptance, self love and self compassion!! 

here is an exercise from Kristin Neff who has done extensive research on the concept of self compassion, self acceptance and self love!! This is a great exercise and when you have more time, check out her work, I think you will find it quite interesting!!!
