This is a simple but powerful reminder that the magic and reality of life is happening in the current moment.

We spend so much of our time and energy dwelling on events that have happened. We constantly worry about what we need to do next or what will happen next. We miss out on all the wonderful things that are happening Now!

The point of power is ALWAYS in the present moment. This is where we begin to make changes. It doesn’t matter what kind of experiences we have had in the past but today we can begin to let the old nonsense go. Right Now.

The smallest beginning can make a difference.

Louise always lovingly tells us to be aware and conscious of our thoughts and reminds us that the quality of our thoughts is making our future.

If we think empowering, energizing and hopeful thoughts, we have a much better shot at crafting a life of our choosing. This is because when we dwell in negative thoughts, it quickly snowballs into worry, tension and ends up wasting vast amounts of precious time and energy.

What is a simple but highly effective technique to stop negative thoughts? Say “Out” to them! Read what Louise has to say about getting rid of negative thoughts:

“I say “Out” to every negative thought that comes to my mind. No person, place, or thing has any power over me, for I am the only thinker in my mind. I create my own reality and everyone in it.”― Louise Hay 

This is a deceptively simple but effective methodology to rid yourself of negative thoughts. 

“The thoughts we choose to think are the tools we use to paint the canvas of our lives.” ~Louise Hay

Do you feel worthy of yourself and your work? Louise constantly reminds you that you are indeed worthy of the very best and only you can accept that truth for your life.

How do you build more self-worth?

Louise says:
“Criticism breaks down the inner spirit. Praise builds it up. Praise yourself as much as you can. Tell yourself how well you are doing with every little thing.”

Instead of being critical and dwelling in self-blame and pity, a better option is being approving of yourself. When you find little aspects of your life and being that you approve, accept and feel great about, gradually your life transforms.

This does not mean that we do not reach for more excellence and accept the status quo. It just means that we are now free to pursue and live our life without excessive judgment and blame.

“You’ve been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.”― Louise Hay

One of the great unifiers in Louise’s work is the deep and experiential understanding of self-love. According to Louise, deeply loving and accepting yourself opens doors that you never thought possible.

She also reminds us that we need to allow love in and be ready for it when it knocks on the door. Becoming aware of your own range of self-love and what you allow in is a great gift of self-awareness.

The more we express and live from the perspective of love, the more love comes flooding in.

“Be ready for love when it does come. Prepare the field and be ready to nourish love. Be loving, and you will be lovable. Be open and receptive to love.”- Louise Hay
