You
YOU LOVE
THY SELF
Do you know that you are special? There is no other person in this world like you. You deserve to be loved not only by those around you but by the most important person in your life — YOU. Practicing self-love can be challenging for many of us, especially in times when we face serious challenges. It’s not about being self-absorbed, it’s about getting in touch with ourselves, our well-being and our happiness. Do yourself a favor, take a deep breath, give yourself a little hug and start practicing the following: 1. Start each day by telling yourself something really positive. How well you handled a situation, how lovely you look today. Anything that will make you smile. 2. Fill your body with food and drink that nourishes it and makes it thrive. 3. Move that gorgeous body of yours every single day and learn to love the skin you’re in. You can’t hate your way into loving yourself. 4. Don’t believe everything you think. There is an inner critic inside of you trying to keep you small and safe. The downside is this also stops you from living a full life. 5. Surround yourself with people who love and encourage you. Let them remind you just how amazing you are. 6. Stop the comparisons. There is no one on this planet like you, so you cannot fairly compare yourself to someone else.
The only person you should compare yourself to is you. 7. End all toxic relationships. 8. Celebrate your wins no matter how big or small. 9. Step outside of your comfort zone and try something new. It’s incredible the feeling you get when you realize you have achieved something you didn’t know we could do before. 10. Take time out to calm your mind every day. 11. Treat others with love and respect. It makes you feel better about yourself when you treat others the way you hope to be treated. 12. Learn to say “no”. Saying “no” doesn’t make you a bad person, it makes you a smart person. 13. Give up the need for approval from others. 14. Get creative and express yourself in whatever way you like. 15. Have fun! Get out there and do the things that light your fire. Enjoy them, enjoy being you and enjoy your incredible life.

VETERANS POST
What are you doing this summer? If you have spare hours or days, consider stepping up to help your fellow veterans. Stand Downs are a good place to start.
Stand Downs were started in California in 1988 by two veterans who saw the great need for services to homeless veterans. Over the years, the number of events and the veterans served has grown to include help from government agencies, veteran service organizations, groups and individual volunteers all across the county. The need is so great that many locations see hundreds of veterans lined up outside the door before they even open on the first day.
The schedule of Stand Downs in 2022, whether you need services or want to help, can be seen at www. va.gov/homeless/events.asp. Keep an eye on that page because new events can be added at any time. Another page to watch is the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (nchv.org/current-stand-downs).
