Today we will finish this gem of a book with a few more of Kim McMillen’s sayings. I encourage you to create your own little book that reminds you of what it looks like to love yourself enough.
When I loved myself enough…I quit answering the telephone when I don’t want to talk.
When I loved myself enough…I began to see my purpose and gently wean myself from the distractions.
When I loved myself enough…I learned to stop what I am doing, if even for a moment, and comfort the part of me who is scared.
When I loved myself enough…I learned to say no when I want to and yes when I want to.
When I loved myself enough…I began to feed my hunger for solitude and revel in the inexplicable contentment that is its companion.
When I loved myself enough…I stopped trying to banish the critical voices from my head. Now I say “Thank you for your views” And they feel heard. End of discussion.
When I loved myself enough…I could see how funny life is, how funny I am and how funny you are.
When I loved myself enough…I quit trying to be a savior for others.
When I loved myself enough…I lost my fear of speaking my truth for I have come to see how good it is.
When I loved myself enough…I began pouring my feelings into my journals. These loving companions speak my language. No translation needed.
When I loved myself enough…I learned to grieve the hurts in life when they happen instead of making my heart heavy from lugging them around.
When I loved myself enough…I forgave myself for all the times I thought I wasn’t good enough.
When I loved myself enough…I began to taste freedom.
