Why you should trust your
"I like/love myself because" statement
People, including you, are
a seamless continuation of nature and part of the web of life.
However, we live very nature-disconnected lives.
Your revised sentence "tricks"
your nature-disconnected senses of reason and language. It makes them become
more conscious of Nature around, in and asi you.
Can you validate that the changed
sentence: "I like (or love) myself because (2)_____"
describes some natural aspect of yourself, your "inner child," natural self or
inner nature. How do you feel about yourself in this light? Does
it feel right?
You can be absolutely sure
that some part of you is described by this sentence. It
is that part of you that found and that was attracted to to register the
part of a natural area that you found attractive in the first
section of the activity.
"What we are looking for is what is looking."- St. Francis of Assisi.
If reading the sentence makes you feel uncomfortable, search
your life for at least one incident, example or dream relating
to the sentence that feels right or accurate. Perhaps you can
imagine or create one, if necessary. You might ask a friend to
help you find this part of yourself. Friends usually can see
past your self-doubts. It often helps to review the results that others have obtained from doing this activity
Your sentence may be a metaphor.
Try to find examples of parts of yourself that accurately match
this metaphor. Remember that sometimes you have been taught to
deny them, because they are your nature, and, in our nature-separated
society, like a weed, nature is usually conquered, not supported.
For this reason, many people have trouble admitting shamelessly
they are naturally beautiful, strong, worthy, etc.
