Review by Margaux Joy DeNador – March 2013
Louise Hay and Cheryl Richardson have been mentors of mine for many years. They are both inspiring, uplifting, and want us to love life. Because they have been such an inspiration to me, and to millions of people all over the world, I jumped at the chance to review their new DVD set "You Can Trust Your Life" which was filmed during a two-day workshop in London.
The collaboration of these two women creates inspiration that is more than double what they are able to do separately. The love they have for each other – and for all of the people in their audience – is obvious and inspiring to watch.
This 4 DVD set is inspiring. I was amazed by how beautiful the room was and how much fun it was to "participate" in the weekend workshop by viewing the four DVDs.
Before the DVDs arrived I had started taking a five-week online course "You Can Trust Your Life" with Louise and Cheryl. I thoroughly enjoyed the online class and looked forward to it each week.
When the DVDs arrived I wondered if I would find them interesting since I had heard most of what would be on them. But what I discovered is that watching the DVDs made me feel like I was there.
I loved being able to see Louise Hay and Cheryl Richardson on the stage talking with the audience and with each other. They are a delightful duo. They are kind, loving, present, and are willing to let themselves be silly. Laughter makes us all relax and it is wonderful to laugh while learning how to love yourself and be your own best friend.
Both Louise and Cheryl told us that everyone feels – to some degree – that they are unworthy, unlovable, or not good enough and said these feelings interfere with our ability to feel happy, healthy, and excited about life.
They warned us not to try to change others – to let others be who they are. Trying to change other people so you can be happy never works. The key is to work on things you want to improve about your own thinking and behavior.
Louise told us to think of affirmations as seeds we are planting – seeds of things we would like to grow for our future. The DVDs include a wonderful assortment of affirmations for increasing your feelings of self-worth, creating the feelings you want to feel, and enjoying better relationships with people you love and people you work with.
Louise says that being too "wordy" makes it hard to remember an affirmation so she says to keep them as short as possible so you can easily remember them.
"Write how you would like to feel. What would you like to feel?"
– Louise Hay
Cheryl Richardson also reminded us to "marry affirmations with action" because just saying the words doesn't create your desired outcomes. We need to be inspired by the words and have them remind us to take the actions that will create how we want to feel.
If you are willing to shift your perspective and become aware of what you say to yourself, you can create wonderful changes in your life. In fact, one of the things you will learn if you watch these DVDs is how to "dissolve" old habits and replace them with new habits that empower you and help you feel better about yourself and your life.
The "mirror work" Louise suggests we do is done with your choice of positive affirmations. The first one she says to say is, "I love you. I really, really love you." It is a challenge at first to look in the mirror and talk to yourself especially to say I love you, but if you keep at it the results are wonderful and you'll be glad you gave it a try.
Following are some of the affirmations I wrote while watching the DVDs.
I love you. I really, really love you.
I always love my job.
I always have good bosses.
I always have good clients.
I work in an atmosphere of love & joy.
I work for people who appreciate me – including myself.
I accept work that uses all of my talents and abilities.
I have great relationships with everyone I work with, and for.
I love my work.
I love my closet – it is so easy to get dressed.
I am comfortable in my clothing.
I'm showered with good thoughts all day long.
I've become a master at delegating and receiving help.
I love receiving help.
I love my life!
I love this day!
I love it when the sun shines!
It's wonderful to feel the love in my heart.
Everything I do brings me joy.
I prosper wherever I am.
I trust myself. I trust life.
I trust myself to do what I need to do to keep myself healthy and strong.
It is easy for me to ASK for what I want.
Choose your favorites from the list above and try saying them to yourself in a mirror. I believe you'll be glad you chose to do it!
"I bless and prosper everyone in my life and everyone in my life blesses and prospers me." Cheryl told us that Louise has this affirmation hanging up in her bathroom so she sees it several times a day. The idea of blessing and prospering everyone in our life is wonderful and if we do it, I am sure the second part would be true as well – everyone in our life would want to bless and prosper us.
I loved watching these DVDs. Louise and Cheryl are inspiring, uplifting, beautiful, joyful, playful, silly, kind, loving, authentic, and fun.
I highly recommend getting the DVDs "You Can Trust Your Life" because they are inspiring and fun to watch. In fact, I feel certain you'll be glad to have them in your home library.
