Attention: I see you Appreciation: I value you Approval: I accept you Affection: I love you Allowing: I trust you
Not only should you say these things but more importantly you should act like...for me morning pages give me the 'I see you', exercise and diet choices 'I value you', art without the critics', i accept you, a smile, and 'I trust you' is built up on on the other actions preceding it.
