Came across a fabulous quote in a newsletter from Julia Di Nardo, a psychotherapist specializing in eating disorders. Her Food for Thought newsletter arrives in my InBox full of helpful thoughts. Check out www.healthehunger.com for lots of good information.
"Acting from authentic self-love, people are gentle, attentive and kind to themselves. They develop their gifts and talents and live according to the values and standards they have set for themselves. Theirs is a beauty that shines from within; they laugh readily and are at ease in the world. Theirs is not a conceit, but a sureness of self. “To honor the self,” Branden said, “is to be in love with our own life, in love with our possibilities for growth and for experiencing joy, in love with the process of discovery and exploring our distinctively human potentialities.”
In this time of fresh growth and renewal, it seems an invitation to revisit how we treat ourselves and perhaps cultivate a new attitude to Self.
Hope Springs Eternal; all powerful words, powerful sentiments.
I hope for spring renewal for you.
