I'VE GOT A CRUSHH. IT'S ABOUT TO GET REEAL SERIOUS. I THINK I'M IN LOOVE.
You know how people say "To love someone else, you must first love yourself"? Well, it turns out they are right! If you're looking for a catch, you've got to be a catch. You have to believe it. There's a glow, a certain aura, that people give off when they are in love or loving what they are doing, and people can't help but find it irresistibly attractive. Fall in love with yourself, and you may be surprised to find great things and great people start to gravitate towards you. It's time stop searching out there for your perfect match, and put all that energy back towards yourself. Foster that self-love and self-worth that we so often downplay, ignore or deny. Too often, people settle for what they think they deserve. Do yourself a favor: raise your self-esteem, your standards and your expectations. Today. For a change, try treating yourself the way you would expect your ideal partner to treat you. In other words, date yourself! Compliment yourself, treat yourself, wine and dine yourself, impress yourself. Go out of your way to make you smile. We have an endless supply of love, so toss some of it to the one person that will always be there: you.

#31 RULE OF ME-LOVE

Believe the compliments you receive

It is human nature to dwell on criticism and forget or question the praise that we receive. Try to pay attention to the nice things people are saying about you or have said about you in the past. If possible WRITE THEM DOWN. Because sometimes, when you find yourself losing faith in yourself, the best way to boost your confidence is to recall how highly you are regarded by someone else. Strive to hold yourself in the highest regard. See yourself as your admirers see you. 

I recently came across some notes about nice things people had said to me or about me. It sure made me feel good and I only wished I had written down more. Here are some of the things I had written down:

 * I see someone that's so considerate and full of joy
* You are pretty, and you can be as confident as you want
* You are one of the few people I know that deserves someone amazing
* Tori, I like your voice (from a 3 year old that I used to baby-sit - how adorable is that?!)

[ There is a lovely little book called Look Who Believes in You by Tanya Harmon that would make a great gift to yourself or a friend. ]
