SPEAKER_00 (00:00):
My favorite thoughts
from Louise Hay.
I adapted them to fit myself.
So I'm going to share them withyou first and I'm going to tell
you how she changed my life.
So the first, the best one everis I approve of myself.
I love and approve of myself.
All that is covers all theproblems we ever have when we
(00:22):
judge ourselves.
So as soon as I remember toapprove of myself, I instantly
identify myself.
something that I was judgingmyself for and the judgment.
And I know exactly what to do istry to make peace with whatever
thing that I did and try toapprove of it somehow or accept
(00:43):
it and approve it.
And that's the way to lovingmyself.
So that one is like the numberone.
It's the base one, the main one.
I love and approve of myself.
I am safe.
This one is huge for me and ithelps me even when I say this
sentence and even if I don'tfeel safe, it helps me identify
(01:05):
that I'm not safe in thatmoment.
And it helps me direct me towork towards comforting myself
and making myself feel safe.
And that is always an ongoingprocess in my everyday life when
there's so much noise around mewith four boys.
That makes me feel so unsafe.
(01:27):
I have found that I am extremelysensitive to lots of noise, lots
of action around me, and thatmakes me feel unsafe.
So that one I have to work hardto identify.
Soothe myself, comfort myself,take myself out of the situation
if I need to and make that apriority because when I don't
(01:49):
feel safe, I'm not nice to bearound.
So that one, I am safe, is agrounding sentence for me.
The universe brings me onlygood.
I love, love, love that onebecause...
It feels like the whole world isfriendly and I truly believe it
(02:11):
because I've practiced it for somany years and it has given me
so much trust in the peoplearound me.
Even when not nice things arehappening, even when bad things
are happening, I know that theintentions behind them are good.
I know that no person in theirright mind, in their right mind,
(02:35):
would go and and act on badintentions everyone tries to do
something good and so when i seepast that it makes me feel like
the universe is good and itcomforts me also when i hear of
a sad story of somethingterrible happening to someone
it's still it kind of comfortsme because i understand what was
(03:00):
happening behind it right if ihear like someone justin's being
done to children or people, it'seither they were not in the
right mind or if there was anaccident, I still can appreciate
that the intentions were goodand it was just an accident,
right?
If I wish I was better at thatwith my own kids when they do
(03:21):
something like, oh, I can't evencome up with an example, but it
seems idiotic.
What were you thinking?
But They had good intentions.
They wanted to do this and thisand this.
I wish I could come up with anexample.
So that one, the universe bringsme only good.
I love that one.
(03:41):
I believe it's so hard.
I see examples of it in my day,in my everyday life, and in my
life all the time.
And when you believe somethingso hard, when you put on that
lens, you start seeing proof ofthat.
So you guys, I really encourageyou to try that.
And...
Try it for a day and youmagically, seriously will see
(04:04):
proof of that.
And if you're not seeing proofof that, that's just a sign that
you don't believe it and youbelieve the opposite.
You believe that people areangry or people are mean or
people are out for themselves.
I don't believe that.
I think the universe works tohelp me, to take care of me
through other people.
Even if other people are angry,somehow that's going to be
(04:26):
helpful to me.
OK, so and it's safe to be me, Iwrote down.
So it's safe to be me.
And that one is in the contextof me putting myself out there
in this world, on YouTube, onpodcasts, because it's so scary
to be yourself because you don'twant to be rejected.
(04:48):
Right.
But I strongly believe thatsharing my story helps you.
at least one person out there.
And because I know otherpeople's stories helped me so
tremendously.
And that's why I share myself,but I have to remind myself that
it's safe to be me.
And actually people want mycontribution.
(05:10):
Okay.
So that's another affirmationthat I believe my contribution
is what people want.
Okay.
I, um, Only good lies before me.
So this is kind of anotherversion of the universe brings
me only good.
I'm just reading off my notes Imade.
The only good lies before me.
(05:31):
That one is pretty cool becausekind of even mentally when you
imagine it, that something infront of you physically is
lying, that's good.
But also in time.
Like if you think of space andtime, like later this afternoon,
something good lies before me.
It's just another way to trainyour mind to think that the
(05:55):
whole universe and the wholeworld and the whole life that
you have is good and it's foryou.
And there is no bad.
And when you believe that...
And you decide to believe thatyour brain goes to work to prove
you that it's true.
And it will find evidence forthat.
(06:17):
And it feels wonderful.
So when something doesn't goyour way, you later find out,
oh, it didn't go my way here sothat it can go my way here.
You know what I'm talking about,right?
Just like when...
when, that's just an examplethat came to my head, when my
(06:38):
husband and I were deciding tohave a third child, my husband
was not on board, and I let itgo.
And I let it go to the degreethat he came back, maybe half a
year later, a year later, and hesaid, okay, I'm ready.
And we got pregnant, and we hadtwins.
So me giving him space andletting go, and that didn't go
(07:01):
my way at that point, but later,well, my way later with twins so
and both of us did want a bigfamily we didn't want the work
of the big family but we doenjoy the benefits of it and to
be honest i am starting to enjoythe the work that goes into it
but that's coming with timeobviously um it's okay that that
(07:23):
happened so this one is i thinkthat's my thought but the um the
the feeling of it is from louisehay that Kind of like, you know,
whatever happened, I stillapprove of myself.
So it's okay that that happened.
It's okay that I yelled at thekids.
It's okay that these boysfought.
It's okay that the one boy had aterrible day.
(07:47):
So all these thoughts that Ihave here help me find so much
peace when something doesn't goright for people outside of me.
Because I know that there's agreater good out greater plan at
play and that it will go righteventually.
(08:09):
So I'm kind of trusting thateverything will be fine for
them.
And there's, and if it's notlike, I think everyone has the
lesson to learn there, right?
So this, this, all theseaffirmations, this is just, this
is it for the affirmations thatI wrote down and they are,
(08:30):
Changed my life in three ways.
I wrote down here, but I'm surethere's way more that kind of
ripple effect.
One of the ways is helps me feelsafe, like I mentioned earlier.
Helps me feel safe and expressmyself in the world.
Whereas before, when I was achild, I was the quietest
(08:52):
person.
most shy kid in the world.
Nobody heard me.
Nobody knew me at high school.
I was hanging out with my bestfriend and some of the kids from
high school came over and theysaid, Oh, which school do you go
to?
Because they didn't know that Iwent to the same high school as
them.
And I've been in the same highschool with them for a couple of
years.
So I was so quiet and so, uh,not didn't allow myself to be me
(09:17):
that to, for me to be sharingthis online, on YouTube and on
podcasts, that is a testament tohow much I really believe that
the universe has only goodthings for me and I'm safe and I
want to be seen and people wantto see me.
(09:39):
So the other thing is I'm goodenough, right?
So this kind of plays into thesame topic.
I am safe.
I'm good enough.
just as I am, which is sometimesreally hard to believe, right?
Because you're like, oh, I'm notstrong enough.
I'm not patient enough.
I'm not kind enough.
And I lose my patience, blah,blah, blah, blah.
But it's supposed to be thisway.
(09:59):
I believe for us to have achallenge, to not be so boring,
to work at something and toreally learn to love these
terrible things about ourselves,which is super hard, right?
And the other thing, which is myfavorite that I've learned that
Louise Hay was able to give meis the trust.
(10:21):
Trusting other people, trustingmyself, and trusting the
universe.
Before that, I did not,obviously was not trusting
because I was not putting, youknow, I was super shy, right?
I was not putting myself outthere.
I was hiding.
And the way I discovered LouiseHay was, I think it was maybe 11
(10:44):
years ago, or 12, 10, I'm notsure.
One of my middle boys wasanxious at school.
He was about three, preschool.
He went to preschool and he hadanxiety before school.
And his lip would quiver and hewas just afraid.
He wanted to be with mama.
(11:05):
And of course, that was reallyhard for me to drop him off at
school.
And I didn't have the twins yet.
And so I went to search for waysto help him.
And I came across affirmations.
And Louise Hay is the queen ofaffirmations.
And that's how I found her.
And I actually had like a listof affirmations to tell my son
(11:25):
right before school.
And they were like somethinglike everybody loves me.
Everybody wants to help me.
I am safe.
I'm okay, right?
Things like that to ground him.
And I can't speak for my son onhow much that helped him.
I don't know whether theaffirmations helped him or
(11:46):
whether it was just the time andfor him to learn to
self-regulate at school.
I can't say that, but they'vehelped me tremendously because I
was not feeling safe and Ididn't know how to
self-regulate.
So that definitely helped me.
And I was so grateful that Icame across her.
And actually, my mom just toldme recently that I introduced
(12:09):
her to Louise Haye.
And she loves her so much.
That's her person.
She's like her number onementor.
But I remember the other wayaround.
I remember that my momintroduced me to Louis Hay.
So either way, we both love her.
She's super helpful.
And I go to her still to thisday.
(12:29):
And now all the affirmationshave transformed into, I made
them my own, right?
So like one of the affirmationsthat, I have is that my desire
is my contribution.
So if I desire to share thisstuff with you, that means it's
(12:49):
going to be my contribution toyou.
And to me, it feels true, but itis a sentence that I believe and
it's an affirmation.
So it doesn't even feel like anaffirmation anymore because I
feel like I'm just telling youhow things are.
So that's kind of awesome,right?
So I really do believe that, butit is a result of Louise Hay
(13:14):
helping me feel safe, feelinglike I'm good enough and feeling
like I trust myself.
I trust you.
I trust the universe to bring meonly good things.
So Louise Hay has changed mylife to be a better wife to my
husband, to be a better wife.
mom, to my kids, to be a betterdaughter and to help you right
(13:37):
here.
So thank you so much forlistening.
I love you all so much and I'llsee you next week.
