Wellness Wednesday
Today is Wellness Wednesday. I usually don't post my Wellness Wednesday thoughts...but today I wanted to share a new quote I found that really struck a cord with me.
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." ~The Buddha
So I'm sending some healing vibes out to the Universe and I hope you get that you are worthy of your own love. I know this is a hard concept for me. I'll go out of my way to be nice to someone else, to shower them with love and affection but I never take that same attitude and apply it to me. Guess What?
This body , this me has come a long way in 53 years. And the majority of those years I've spent wishing for things to happen before I would be completely happy. Naturally losing a ton of weight would top that list. If I would lose this amount, then I knew I would be happy and I could then do this, this or this. And when I didn't lose the weight, then I spent all that time knocking myself down and filling my mind with very negative self-talk. I would never do that to a friend. I would always offer encouragement. Why all this self-loathing? Where did that come from?
So today.... I'm forging a new path, a new mindset and giving thanks to this body that has carried me so far and show it the love and attention it deserves.
