Good Job Robin!! No, you would never tell someone they are fat. Always good to hear your positive approach to health care. Thank you for the reminder that it is o.k. to love and be kind to ourselves. Really a missing link, not taught my generation. Hugs Keri
Accepting ourselves, forgiving ourselves, and holding ourselves in compassion are all about self-love. This is not narcissism, but about softening our internal world just a bit, to let go of the harsh self-judgments we hold. This then liberates us to extend those same feelings of acceptance, forgiveness, and compassion to others–friends, family, and strangers–which then flows back into our own life; we end up creating and spreading joy within the world we live, and into the world at large. Thinking of this concept brings me a sense of gratitude for my ability to revel in love of self and others. It’s powerful and meaningful, yet you are correct in stating that it remains an unfamiliar and elusive awareness. We can shift that though, by inviting it into our own daily practice, modeling it for our children and family, and sharing it with others.
And it was humorous to hear Tom say on air F-A-T…and shocking; not my choice of words! Thank you for listening to the interview.
