Before you can make your customers and clients fall in love with you, you’ve got to love and accept yourself. Fully and wholeheartedly.

Not later. But now.

I know it’s not always easy, but you signed up to create an authentic brand, so this is it.

This is the fastest way to do it.

PART 1 Learn to Communicate with the Mind Chatter

1. Start with listening to the Mind Chatter. Be like Dian Fossey who studied the gorillas. Don’t interact, don’t obey, just listen. And Observe. It’s really important that you become aware of the things you say to yourself.
2. Watch video 1 to get an idea of how you can create a distance between what you say to yourself and what you actually accept and tolerate.
3. Decide on several moments during the day where you are Dian Fossey and observe.

PART 2 Nurture Self-Love and make it your Priority  

1. Write your daily self-love exercise on the sheet : and build your self-love muscle.
2. Write “I am enough”, “I am Love” I am Joy” “I am Beautiful” etc at as many as possible places (bathroom mirrors, telephone, hands, keep little notes in your pockets.)
3. Be real. If you find that hard, simply accept that – for now – it feels hard. Don’t dwell, don’t fight, don’t push yourself, just gently accept it. And you will notice that once the “I need to” push is gone you will make way for loving kindness in your life. Also, share a lot of “I love me” messages in the group. Lift each other up!
4. Remember you signed up to be authentic. It’s like a vow. To yourself. Your audience. To the world.
   “I will be Me”
   “I will not be who you want me to be because that’s more convenient for you. I am me”
   ” I will not shrink, I will be weird/outspoken/silent/different/unique/loud…. because that’s who I really am”
5. Remember that resistance will come up. Yes, sorry to say that you’re not unique there 🙂 there will be moments that you go: This is all crap, I’m not lovable, who will love me? That’s the moment where you have to decide if you want to listen to the voice of inner oppression that keeps you small and invisible, or the voice of greatness that wants you to spread your wings and show up as the Real You.

It all starts with love.
