Self-Esteem Exercise-11

November 5th, 2007, by Shelley Riutta

I woke up this morning with this song floating in my mind:

“I love myself so much, That I can love you son much, That you can love you so much, That you can start loving me.”

 This is a chant from the Agape Church in Los Angeles, CA.  The church was founded by Michael Beckwith–who you may recognize from the movie “The Secret”.   I was on a personal growth cruise in October and Michael–along with his wife Rickie Byars Beckwith–gave a service every morning.   They blew everyone away with how loving and inspirational they both were—pure emodiments of unconditional love.  I bought a CD that has this song and other wonderful songs. 

 We sang this song at the “I am Fabulous” workshop.  My assistant at the Workshop teased me and said it reminded her of a Seasme Street song!!  I said –”whatever works, I am using it!”  I love the words of the song and I have found that singing positive statements helps the message get in on a much deeper level.  At the workshop we had everyone come up with a postive affirmation that they really wanted to absorb–and we put it to a tune and recorded it for them to take home and listen to over and over.  It was so much FUN!

So think of what loving message you want to give yourself and put it to a catchy tune–and watch this message get absorbed and lift your Spirit!  Let me know what you come up with!!
