Recently I've read Louise. Hay 's books "You can heal your life" and "The power is within you" again and they made me think a lot. After I got ill, I reflected my life. In the past few years, I tried to be perfect in all parts of my life. I tried to be excellent in my study and work. I was nice to all people. I'm a good person. As the Chinese old saying goes, good people will be well all their life. So, Why it's me? Why am I so unlucky? I'm really frustrated and depressed. Ms. Hay's books shed some light on my problem. I love and care others more than myself. I studied in most of my spare time because I wanted to get straight "A"s on my study. I always wondered whether other people would be happy or not if I said or did something, but I seldom asked myself, "am I happy? am I tired?" I didn't love myself enough. The disease is a sign that I should change my pattern of thinking and living. I need to love myself more and give myself some time to relax. I can go outside to enjoy the sunshine, beautiful flowers and birds' singing.
On our life journey, there are many things for us to appreciate besides work. However, I used to pursue the success and achievement and didn't realize it. Now I want to slow down my pace of life and learn to get the balance and find the tranquility. Maybe meditation will help me. It's a good way to get rid of the old negative ideas and form new positive ideas. As pointed out in the books, anger, criticism, sense of guilt and fear are the most common negative attitudes. We need to let these ideas go just like things floating away in a river. After that, we can embrace new positive ideas.
As to forming new ideas in our mind, Ms. Hay advised the readers to give affirmations to themselves, such as "I love myself, I love my body." " I deserve all the good things."etc. These affirmations will be positive to our subconsciousness and have a miraculous effect on our life. To love others, we first have to learn how to love ourselves. When we love ourselves enough, we will take care of our bodies and have good self-respect and self-esteem. This provides a good way in the treatment of diseases and addiction.What's more, if all of us love ourselves, other people and the world, the world will be more beautiful and peaceful!
