| Who love's ya baby? I'm guessing half the readers of this newsletter instantly associate that phrase with wonderful Telly Savalas playing lollypop loving detective Kojak. The other half are already wondering where this one's going. So who loves you? I hope you've put yourself at the top of that list. It's very easy to say you'll love yourself, but then follow it up with that little word... when. When I lose the weight. When I find the right person. When I get that job. When I'm successful at... The challenge is unless you love yourself first you could be pushing yourself away from achieving those goals. In my book Flip It I wrote a piece titled, 'How to feel fab about flab'. It wasn't encouraging readers to pig out on kebabs or to invest in elasticated waists; it was about finding something (anything) that you love about your body rather than focusing on the bits you believe are wrong. The Flip Bit at the end of the chapter reads, 'You'll never feel fully healthy until you learn to appreciate the brilliant body you have right now.' It's classic Flip It thinking (how to get the best out of everything) and it can be transferred into any area of your life. When I find the right person - Who are you grateful to have in your life NOW? When I get that job - Focus on just ONE thing that gives you self-worth now. When I'm successful at... - Make the exciting journey your focus rather than the destination. You've got to love yourself first even if it means digging deep, bending the facts (in your favour) and turning your focus on the most important person in the world - YOU. Who loves ya baby? Be Brilliant! Michael PS If you've still no idea who Kojak was than be grateful for your youth and Google 'Who loves ya baby'. For the rest of us, here's one to consider. The last Kojak TV series was made in 1978! Love your age :-) You can Tweet this newsletter and 'Like' it on Facebook here |
