RECOVERY MEDITATIONS
One Day at a Time


~ SELF ESTEEM ~

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Eleanor Roosevelt



I always used to feel "less than" everyone else. So I'd eat and feel even worse.

Without true love for myself I was dead in the water. I would compare the impression I had of you, which of course came from my own personal reality, with the facts I knew about my inner self. I never seemed to measure up. Without self-love, I was unable to ask for, expect, or accept love from others.

When I love myself and treat myself lovingly, it doesn't matter what others think of me; what matters is that I do not think less of myself.

One day at a time ...
I ask my Higher Power to show me little ways
to act lovingly toward myself and to know deep within
that I am worthy of being loved by others.

~ Melissa S. ~
