Diana’s mantra for building self-esteem:
No person, place or thing has any power over me unless I give it – for I am the only thinker in my mind.
I have immense freedom in that I can choose what to think.
I can choose to see life in positive ways instead of complaining or being mad at myself or others.
Complaining about what I do not have is one way to handle a situation, but it does not change anything.
When I love myself and find myself in the midst of a negative situation, I can say something such as –
“I am willing to release the pattern in my consciousness that contributed to this condition.”
I have made negative choices in the past, but this does not mean that I am a bad person, nor am I stuck with these negative choices.
I release old judgements and love myself unconditionally.
