Love Yourself, Heal Your Life Workbook

This workbook has totally changed my way of thinking, and therefore has altered my life in such a way that is positive and I am so glad I happened upon the Oprah show in which she was speaking about her book, I recommend it to anyone who has stress in their life. Or just want to be able to get through the day to day 'stuff' that surrounds our society these days!!

This workbook is filled with awareness exercises that can help a person immensely with their healing process. The exercises are designed to find limiting beliefs so you can create affirmations to clear the past and welcome the future you want. You can also do the exercises more than once and find new insights. I require this book for all my Heal Your Life training students.

"These exercises will give you new information about yourself. You will be able to make new choices. If you are willing, then you can definitely create the kind of life you say you want." ~Louse L. Hay Louise delves into health, fears, phobias, sex, self-esteem, money, friendship, addictions, work and intimacy issues. In her loving, caring way, she guides you through fifteen work"fun" chapters. I think this book is more fun than work. You will learn about: 1. Basic Techniques - Changing thoughts and releasing old beliefs about yourself. 2. Who Are You? What Do You Believe? 3. Health Checklist 4. Feeling Good 5. Fears and Phobias 6. Anger 7. Criticism and Judgment 8. Addictions 9. Forgiveness 10. Work 11. Money and Prosperity 12. Friends 13. Sexuality 14. Love and Intimacy 15. Your New Picture You will find questions like: "What do you want that you are not having?" At the end of the first chapter there is a "Deservability Treatment" where you can read affirmations and perhaps extract one or two sentences for daily reflection like: "I am willing to create new thoughts about myself and about my life. My new thinking becomes new experiences." There are many places where you can record your own thoughts about various topics like love, sex, work, money, success, failure and God. There is a place to write a story of your life and to draw a picture of your inner child. The chapter on health might jumpstart a new healthy journey into nutrition and wellness. If you want to pass this book along to a friend, you could also buy a small journal and make notes in the journal instead of on the pages. This book could also be used as inspiration for journal writing. This book gave me a great idea - to create an entire book just of affirmations. A lot of our self-talk can make us miserable or enlightened. Louise L. Hay also focuses on reflection, meditation, visualization and relaxation. She presents a pathway to a more positive and fulfilling life that is filled with daily discoveries of beauty and nurturing elements. It is time to start loving ourselves more and time to heal our lives. "Criticism breaks down the inner spirit, and never changes a thing. Praise builds up the spirit and can bring positive changes." ~Louise L. Hay ~The Rebecca Review

As usual Louise has presented her wisdom in a easy to use insightful format. Her work over the years has gone from strength to strength and her theory of illness being a direct result of our beleifs and habits is an interesting one. While in some respects I feel this theory is only a part of the multitude of reasons for illness, it is never the less a very valid insight into how we manifest our lives. Do the exercises and I can guarantee you will learn something about yourself, and over time things will change. It takes time to restore the balance in our lives, however reading this book and doing the exercises is a part of the journey for those seeking to understand how their psychie influences their reality, and from that position it gives the reader insight through choices and awareness. Would highly recomend. TRUITY Williams from wanabelong(dot)com. Author of Book of Choices and the series Workbook of Choices,also the creator of the family board game TRUITY Choices.

Reading this book may literally save your life...that is if you are willing to take the time to not only read the book, but do the exercises! No guarantees, but what do you have to lose? Guaranteed you will learn something about yourself in the process. Louise believes that our beliefs and attitudes about life are the seedbed for health or illness. While I do not believe her theory totally, I do believe she has much to teach us about how we can heal our lives physically and emotionally. I have found Louise's breakdown of illnesses and mental causation in her book, YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE, to be "right on" in the majority of illness included. As a mental health counselor, I often recommend her book to my clients. For people who have major illnesses or are facing surgery reading and doing the exercises in LOVE YOURSELF, YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE WORKBOOK gives you an opportunity to do something that could make a difference in your recovery. As you live from day to day, waiting for tests, going through procedures, and wondering "What's next?", you can empower yourself by learning more about who you are and how you might be contributing to your illness. Louise put her belief system to the test when she manifested a tumor which doctors recommended be surgically removed. She believed that if she had the tumor cut out without understanding what part she played in it, that her body would continue to create another tumor. She refused to have surgery and started counseling in dealing with her issues related to her tumor. Six months later, there was no tumor to be found! Also, she did no other form of treatment other than her counseling. Her personal testimony has been one of the major contibuting factors in my being an advocate of her work. We are fortunate to have such a gifted healer to teach us how we can contribute to our own healing process. I have found her work to be of great benefit to my own personal healing, as well; and would highly recommend anyone taking the time to participate in the healing opportunities provided in her workbook. You and your health are worth it!
