A Moment of Self-Appreciation to Use Later

That I need to love and accept my self

That all the options that I have in my life now is because I 've made the right choices in the past !

Love in surplus

I think I may have made some good connections with people in this community. Patty stands out most. I don't want to tarnish whatever image of myself I've projected. But...I'm a very selfish man, so this exercise was easy for me. I feel that being selfish is a priority. You come first, then yours comes next, and finally comes mine. If you don't have a keen sense of self coupled with self ambition, then who are you? What do you, or better yet...what can you impart to others? If charity begins at home, then self-preservation begins with you. Without love and appreciation of self you can't love and appreciate anything or anyone else. I've done things that I think a remarkable all things considered. With no formal training since 2009. I started writing for a local sketch comedy show. Where I also learned to direct. I've since written for several publications, speeches for politicians, Ghostwriter on three independent films, and written over a dozen plays. Four of which I directed and executive produce. I'm friends with celebrities like Dave Chappell, Anthony Anderson, and Sheryl Underwood. All this is attributed to love of self, self-awareness , and self appreciation. I love me! Namaste 🙏🏾

Appreciation:)

Looking for what feels good in my body today was not easy. I feel exhausted! So I am grateful for that gentle nudge to help me anchor what feels good inside even when I am exhausted :) thanks!

Being in the present means being in my body

And receiving the joy the body offers at all times. It is when I ignore it that I fall to illness. Otherwise, if I listen, if I give way to a perpetual dance, that is what happiness is!

If I keep my mind in the present...

My body tells me everything I need to know at any given moment...

I learned that

it’s just as important for us to appreciate ourselves as it is for us to appreciate those around us, and the more appreciation we have for ourselves, the easier it is to be appreciative for the role our loved ones and others around us play in our lives.

After thought

For when the past is returned all the past and present form fit into reason we can’t put forth

Savoring the good

It’s so easy to dwell in negative thoughts, feelings, sensations, and memories. It’s effortful for me to savor the good, but that effort is so important in building self-compassion.

Appreciate One self

It feels so good to take a moment to appreciate oneself for the good that we have done as well as for our achievements. When these good things have a positive impact on ourselves, family and / or this community, then it is an awesome feeling. A moment of self - Appreciation. This feels good!!! Savor the Moment and retrieve the Moment when necessary!!!

A moment

Good to take a moment to appreciate all that has lead to today. Good to appreciate the journey and where you are.

Saved good feelings

I can use the good feeling of this very moment in future. I may have need to remember the feeling of well-being in future. When the time comes I will relive this saved feeling.

Breathing

This breathing meditation releases one from the chains of reason and emotion, and let one enter the space of intuition- which is where the ‘self’ is free.

I will bring this happy moment to mind

The next time i am feeling stressed or down. I met with friends this morning for coffee and a chat and I didn’t keep looking at the time so I could leave and get all the work I need to do done. I just stated in the moment. Then I did my meditation while walking my doggies in the beautiful winter sunshine. A happy day. Thank you

Step to Charity

self appreciation is the first step towards charity. if you can’t be kind to yourself and appreciate, you can’t be charitable to other lives either!

Re-remebering

This was so well timed for me. I just had A very stressful couple of days that had me doubting and a little negative. But this meditation helped me to re-remember all the good I have been a part of and brought me back to the positive person I am known to be. Thanks again Aura!!

Self appreciation

Take a point in time and remember the good things that you appreciate so you can look back on them when you hit a tough time.

Self-Appreciation

It's important to draw your attention to the positive parts of your self and your life in order to maintain perspective and find your gratitude.

Savoring the sense of joy and calmness

Listening to this meditation allows me to be grateful for being patient with myself and appreciating a new chapter in my life. I am savoring these moments of happiness and stillness.

Proud

I feel proud of myself today.... proud that I followed meal plan, meditated, got an early start on homework... I feel accomplished

Pause

I learned to take the moment and pause and appreciate all that around me.

Good feelings

Appreciate self more and remember those feelings in the future when I may face struggles.

Self worth

I never thought about appreciating myself but I deserve it and it feels good. I'm trying hard for myself and my family and a good pat on my own back is wonderful

Feeling great!

I don't know why, in fact I'm not even going to question it, but I feel great tonight. I'm feeling happy and optimistic about play auditions I have coming up next month. I'm planning to go buy a blue dress for the occasion. My knitting is looking beautiful, I'm enjoying my audio book. The only this causing me stress is whether or not to attend CERT training this weekend.

Work

Hard work pays of and really provides you with a sense of pride and a feeling that you can accomplish whatever you put your mind on

Day 36

This was a different type of meditation but i enjoyed appreciating how i felt in the moment

Positive affirmations

I always think of that guy from SNL when i do my positive affirmations. I used to laugh at myself when saying my good qualities out loud. I still picture Stuart Smallie in my head but i love this practice. What comes out of my mouth goes right into my ears and my mind. Your mind is very useful (sometimes) I can feel my confidence levels rise and am ready for a great day, because “I’m good enough and gosh darn it people like me”. Have an amazing experience everyone!

Appreciation

A lot of times when our days are full of chaos we tend to forget to appreciate ourselves and live in the good moments...

Peace

You have to self appreciate yourself and calm down. Too have a feeling if self appreciation you will always remember

Savor the good

It’s not always in the times of bad that we need to reflect and seek insight. Remember to stop and smell the flowers and remember the good feelings, times, and what brought you there.

Thoughts

I learned that I was very hard for me during this practice to focus but I got everything out of my mind that I wanted to say to myself.

We are important

A lot of times we sell ourselves short. But we are good and we have done good things in our lives. We deserve to appreciate ourselves the way we are. The good and the bad. We are taught that we can rise above our mistakes and keep moving on. We are never taught that our mistakes drag us down and we can never be free of them. We choose to be free of them.

Savouring the happy moment

That when you feel good, take that time to recognise that feeling, and when you need it most you can remember it.

Savoring Me

With this meditation I was reminded once again that learning to truly love and appreciate myself is clearly a goal that I need to continue to work on.

Self appreciation

This was wonderful and powerful. It allowed me to feel free of my current challenges and focus on the appreciation of what is actually good in my life.

Stronger Me

I’ve noticed and felt my emotional health become much more stable and strong

Power

Focusing on strengths with genuine appreciation brings strength and courage to me.

Self-appreciation

So good to meditate when I’m feeling great as well as when I’m struggling. This came just at the right time as I have just made amends to my 8 year old son as I’m in recovery

Needed that

Thank you Kristy. Your voice carries kindness very well. The time passed too quickly! 💚💝💜

I learned that...

I think I prefer meditations that focus on slowing the mind through mental exercises, over those that involve more physical exercises. I noticed that... after taking just one deep breath, holding for three seconds and exhaling, the breaths that followed were naturally much deeper than they were before the exercise. This felt good.

Lucky

Last night I was in a car crash that easily could have cost me my life and I felt the need this morning to stop for a couple of minutes and just appreciate me and who I am and what I’ve done so far and how every thing I have done every action and decision I’ve taken has led to this person I am today. And I’m proud and appreciative of who I am. In this meditation I imagined myself hugging myself and I could almost feel the safeness and love as though someone was actually hugging me. It’s good to know you always have yourself at the end of the day and sometimes all it takes for us to feel happy is to realise and appreciate that our lives are beautiful and the people in them are beautiful.

Meditating through the good and bad

I love how there are meditations to do no matter what the mood. Having meditations specifically when you are feeling good is so important. To take a short moment to really appreciate that joy inside and have thoughts on just those happy emotions experienced today.

Breathe

Back to center, fueled by breath, categorizing my thoughts then letting the drift by. Namaste

Blinded

I am often blinded by emotions. I often catch myself unconsciously shallow breathing or holding my breath. This is a good exercise to be mindful of how I should be breathing and what to do when emotions get in the way.

Appreciation

I learned that you need to pause and allow yourself to recognize that you are of value.

I feel great!

It’s important to be reminded to appreciate yourself. I feel great! Great to start the day and week.

Trees🌳 & Phillip❣️

I've come to realize I will listen to, or ask for anything too doo with forestry / trees just because they remind me of my Phillip💖

Appreciation

So simple yet so impactful. I will definitely use this one again. Really makes you focus on the good rather than the negative.

Self Appreciation

I do not appreciate myself and my achievements enough. I’m too focused on what I have not accomplished rather than enjoy the good feelings attached to what I have done.

The small things

I have strengths that deserve to be recognized. When I believe in myself others will see my confidence. When I am humble others will see my courage. When I appreciate what I have to offer, others will do the same.

Self appreciation

This is something I struggle with, so I did the mediation even though it is really late and I need sleep! It was worth the time. I liked that suggestion to tuck this little moment away for use in the future. 😊

Perfect 👌 mood

I was in the perfect mood for this meditation and it felt good to think about my achievements and acknowledge them. In times that I’m not feeling so good or struggling with a difficult situation, I need to remember this feeling. I usually don’t! I l’ll try to remember this meditation and maybe I l’ll be able to pull myself out of the doom and into a better space. ☮️🌞

Self appreciation

Not often enough does one take time to really appreciate oneself. Today was a reminder to appreciate myself and the things I do. I most often look to others to show me appreciation to feel worthy. Today, I am taking the time to feel worthy of myself. I do so much for others and I like to do that. Even though they may not always so appreciation, I appreciate myself for doing something that makes me feel good. This is where my worthiness comes not from others. 😘

Reminder

This is such a good reminder to savor the good, positive, joyous times.

Thankful

It really helps me to thank my ears my nose my mouth and my eyes because no one notices how much they do for us

I appreciate myself

I appreciate how far I’ve come and I send appreciation to my past self as a child and reassure her that things will get better for her.

This one was great

I often focus on the things I need to get done. Or things that didn’t get done right at work. It’s good to remind myself that the things I’ve done and enjoyed our number the others.

Appreciating good things that happened even when you are not well

To be thankful for the good things God (Jesus) has done for me , remember the times he has been good to me how he has always been faithful and True . To not dwell in the past not focusing on my problems but appreciate I feel good now and when I don't feel good just remember the good things that happened . It's okay Jesus Loves me but to serve others and think about other people problems to help them .

Amor

El amor comienza en ti, mientras me doy cuenta de cuánto más debo valorarme para apreciarme a mi y a la vida

Delight in yourself

What a totally different message than what I’ve heard most of my life! Usually I hear that I’m not good enough, or that I’m fundamentally flawed and that I have to deny myself. What I realized today, though, is that, because I’ve had that background, I can now really appreciate a statement like “delight in yourself” on a much deeper level. Thank you!

New Day

I can/need to be happy and healthy. I’m happy right now. 😎 That’s all I’ve got for now.

moments of full peacefulness

i feel like most of the time we focus too much on things that are almost irrelevant and it’s in moments like this one that i appreciate life fully

Self Appreciation

I know there's no reason for me not to be happy. I'm healthy, in love, getting a marvelous degree and working my butt of at a job I enjoy. In the future I hope to continously appreciate those things and be happy, be at peace with myself.

Self- appreciation

I feel like I often forget to appreciate myself, this was a nice way to remember for the future.

Self-Appreciation

I learned that I can store little pieces of self appreciation and then reflect on those moments and return to them throughout my day.

Grateful

Today I am grateful for the continued support of my family and friends. And for the sun shining.

Self Appreciation

I tend to not give myself enough credit for how far I’ve come in my personal development journey. I’m light years from where I used to be! Who knows where this journey will take me? All I know is that right now I’m feeling great and I’m awesome! #Light&Love

A moment of self-appreciation ❤️

I learned that... pausing and taking a moment for me in the middle of all the chaos/ day to day life is important for self care and appreciating ourselves and our body and just all that we are. We can be so hard on ourselves, so busy with life and taking care of everyone else that we forget to take care of ourselves. I really needed to hear this message today. With me being a mom to two little ones, working full time, my husband having a job that requires him to travel and be gone throughout the week, and online school. It’s hard for me to find time for myself. But I find time and use my time very wisely. Self care and self-appreciation is so important. So I’m so glad I listened to this message, such a great reminder for everyone in this busy world to stop and appreciate all that you are ❤️

It’s helping a lot

I’ve noticed that being around the people I love the most and doing these meditation sessions daily, I’ve been feeling a lot better. My mind is more at ease n I feel peace

Day 3 I think

I felt super relaxed going into this bc I'm about to go to bed and it only made me feel even better

A Moment of Self Appreciation

It is important to focus on the good. To savor the good. To allow yourself to be pleased with your accomplishments. Take these feelings with you. I believe that the more you focus of the good things, the more good that there will be.

Reflections

I’m a little unfocused today but I still managed to reflect on the need to dwell in positive feelings about myself and save a bit of that feeling to take out again on a down day.

Trying

I AM attempting to find some good, some comfort, to appreciate within myself as instructed. I AM a good person. I DO have value to others. I AM a good father, brother, son, nephew, in-law, cousin, etc. I'll attempt to keep these things in mind through my day today.

i felt good

I was really relaxed I was kinda in a rush but I knew I had 3 minutes definitely calmer

A Moment of Self Aporeciation

Allow yourself to be proud. Notice the good. Focus on the good. Hold this feeling in your heart for later comfort.

difficult

It was really hard for me to have good feelings about myself. I tend to be very hard on myself & it sort of feels wrong to let myself feel good. I hope I can get to a place where I don’t feel guilty about loving myself as much as I love others.

Not feeling it today

It was difficult to get into my space today. After listening to the lady for a while with no avail, I just started focusing in my breath and tried to listen to the music.

aware

I was so tense and tired but was so unaware of this. the exercise helped me identify and accept my stress and sadness and too relax

It’s Okay

I learned that it can be challenging to determine exactly how I’m feeling. And that that reality it okay. It’s okay to acknowledge wherever I am at when I pause and think about it.

Accomplishments

Humility is a virtue, but so is self love and respect. It all ties in to help identify and realize goals, sometimes not in that order! Namaste

Savor this later

I can only hope that this little meditation sets the tone for a nice Thanksgiving with my family. Yesterday was challenging with my daughter who was having a meltdown about making dinner and taking it out on me. So I am going to have to take care of myself today because she's hyper critical of me. I'm going to give myself some extra love today. My plan is to focus on my grandchildren and enjoy my time with them today.

Self Appreciation

It was good to acknowledge the good moments that occurred today and during the holidays. I feel gratitude.

Who am I

I looked inside to find myself. Who am I? Not what do I look like or what do I sound like or even how do I feel? But I searched for a color inside and I found black with a light grey in the middle. It was calming. I plan to do this often and wonder if my inner color will change or stay the same on this journey of self-love and healing.

I appreciate myself 😌

Being my worst critic, these words are so hard to say... but wow, they are so good to hear! This morning was tough because I couldn’t seem to get passed a difficult chapter in studying. I felt frustrated with the content, anxious about timing, and even “stupid” for just not getting it... but I eventually got through the chapter and learned so much from it! I appreciate my discipline; I appreciate my work ethic, and I appreciate my determination... In this moment, I appreciate myself, regardless of whether I get it right or wrong. 😌

honest

I didnt exoect to be starting a session when I did, and did not wish to waste a perfectly good moment of mindfulness. I actually found that even though i was not completely focused on what was being said and I may have not fully intended to actually participate, I subconciously tuned in to the meditation and truthfully found myself calmer.

Ish

I just felt okay but my session told me I felt fabulous... That didn't work.

this helped me apretiate myself more witch I need more than anything Right now

Self love

For my meditation tonight I wanted to really relax so I found a eye mask with beads in it and heated it up and listened to this while I lied on the floor of my room and I really enjoyed my time. My eyes are all warm and relaxed and I’m ready for the night~ 💕💖💕💖

Day 14

Feeling alright today, this was a good reminder of how to notice when you’re feeling good. And that it’s okay to feel good.

Appreciating Yourself

Today I acknowledged a fulfilling day of small accomplishments and work well done. I also celebrated a habit of diligence that has brought me here and will get me where I want to go. Things are not perfect—but they are good. And that is worth appreciating.

Great when you’re good

This has been really nice during moments of accomplishment, I like holding onto that feeling and taking it with me during my day.

changing focus

I learned that your mind tends to focus on everything that doesn't go well, and it can be quit difficult to change the focus on the good parts of your life and appreciating what you've done already!

remember the good

even if the good times come to a halt in your life, be thankful and try to feel good that they have happened. if they end, realize better things are coming. put your effort and put your heart into the universe. everything comes back. remember the good. ☁️💛

Appreciation

Sometimes meditation helps you think about all the good you have in your life. Meditation helps with appreciation and gratefulness. Meditation is a great exercise to practice every night ❤️

Good to take a moment

I listened to this during a moment of accomplishment and I felt like it helped me to really notice and appreciate that feeling, to savor it. Thank you.

A Moment is Self Appreciation

I set very high standards for myself so very often I do not appreciate the things that I have done or that I am capable of.... It is time to be proud of myself in my heart

A moment of self appreciation

This exercise was great for reminding ourselves that we’re not wastes of space or nobodies, we have a purpose and we should appreciate ourselves.

Distracted

I noticed that I was distracted during my meditation. I need to learn to appreciate myself more...

Treasure

This brought me a pearl that I can take out on rainy days. Not, that I expect one to come that soon. I really rise here and like to stay interested in feeling better. And to know that this shiny little pearl is there for me, telling me of self appreciation and to reconnect to my body, that offers me so mich that I took for granted, it makes the feeling good even more solid.

Self-appreciation

This pause of self-appreciation was a wonderful way to begin my day! Kristy had me think of the good things I have accomplished in life. By remembering the good things, feelings of goodness began to warm my heart space and filter throughout my entire body. However, I do not necessarily feel as though these feelings has gotten me to where I am today. Unfortunate circumstances came up and changed my life path. I have had a very hard time accepting this. But, I am working through these feelings slowly, but surely. Now that I am on this new life and while I heal, I decided to embark on this journey of self-awareness and self-care. I am proud that I practice mindfulness everyday. By practicing mindfulness, I find joy in the little things and no longer take these precious moments for granted. By practicing mindfulness, I have found renewed joy in my life. By practicing mindfulness, I have found goodness in THIS moment. By savoring in this self-appreciation, I feel positivity flow throughout my body! I will remember these wonderful feelings and tuck it away deep within my heart for a time I may need it in the future. Thank you, Kristy! Namaste ☮️❤️🙏🏻😊

A Moment Of Self Appreciation

Allow yourself to be proud of yourself! Good these moments in your heat and take them out when you are not being nice to yourself.

goodness

Self appreciation is essential, easier said than done but essential none the less

All you need is love

Love is the glue that holds the atoms together. ⚛️ I know we need to heal my country. I believe we need a LOVE ❤️ REVOLUTION around the world. When I thought of good I thought of being a conduit for the good of the Universe. Oh yeah, I’m feeling good. I wish all well. I wish you well. Thank you.

Reminder

I was reminded, watching the wind in the trees as I listened, that it’s all going on anyway and I am a part of that - and it’s okay.

3 Words

Help to make this meditation work: - Savor (the loving of you) - Appreciate (your quality and talents) - Delight (as your soul smiles) Only recently understanding that the greatest pain can, with steps carefully chosen, can lead to wisdom and love. This meditation is one of those steps. Thank You! ❤️🤓

Never thought I’d need this when I’m happy

It’s an incredible feeling to feel happy and savor the feeling. I usually use meditation when I’m anxious or depressed.. but being able to relax and give thought to my current feeling of happiness- gives me a feeling of comfort that I can be in this state no matter what is happening around me. ❤️

A Moment of Self Appreciation

It is okay to be proud of yourself. You have worked hard to get where you are. Delight in it and when things get hard, return to this feeling

Beautiful

This was a beautiful meditation to remind me of all that I have accomplished. This will be a wonderful meditation to return to when I need a little confidence boost.

A moment

Wow this was a really calming and beautiful meditation. I often do not appreciate myself or take a moment to savor the good things. I will work better towards doing that more.

Purification

I quit smoking 2 weeks ago, and for the first time I really felt the energy of cleanliness coming in, and the staleness going out. Will repeat this one for a while!

Self appreciation

This lesson taught me that it is okay to show yourself self appreciation and self love. Lately I have been in the best mood and have had so much positive energy inside myself. Everyone should learn that it is okay to show yourself self appreciation and self live there is nothing wrong with it

Self Appreciation

I used to be insecure about myself and used to dislike everything about myself until I started to work out and meditate. In today’s lesson I learned how to accept and appreciate everything about myself no matter how many flaws I have. I love me for me

Hold that feeling

A great reminder to file away the peace experienced in the midst of a mindful meditation, to be able to pull it back out during the day when it’s needed most. Namaste

Good booster

Just a good reminder that we do this ! We got this ! We’ve BEEN doing this ! And we will CONTINUE to strive ❤️.

Savoring the good is so simple yet underrated

I hope I can bring these thoughts into the future and remember this feeling of things are ok. I am ok. In fact. I am good. Regardless of the negativity around me.

Self appreciation

I've realized along the way that the self love we practice is the greatest thing. We can be proud of ourselves. Joyous! Happy! It only involves ourselves to do it. With Aura's guidance and teachings of course! This was positive reinforcement of the work we are doing, and our connection to the universe. Living our lives at a higher vibrational level. A clear, open mind. Living in the now. How important meditation is. I wasn't doing it often enough. At times I was so into the life coaching part. But even so, the life coaching teaches how meditation is crucial to our journey. I'm really beginning to see that now. I'm looking forward to when it just is and will be a part of my life. Thank you for your kindness and giving of yourself to share with others like me. You are an amazing person, Glenn!
