Begin day with thanksgiving.

Loving oneself often begins with recognizing and acknowledging the love you have received from others. Try to begin each day with thoughts of gratitude, thoughts of thanksgiving. Ask yourself, “What can I look for in my search for the God that is within me?” Then you can respond, knowing and experiencing the God within that you are strengthened to be the outreaching God. In living a life that acknowledges the God within, you will feel more capable of reflecting that vision from the heart outward.
