Motivation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This will probably be my last newsletter of the year. I plan to send the next one out on January 1, 2012. From the bottom of my heart, I hope that every one of you has a very Merry Christmas.
Dear Body,
Thank you so much for everything you allowed me to do this past year. Thank you for legs that allow me to walk miles and miles- my walks bring me so much joy. Thank you for the miraculous way you function even when I don't take good care of you. I am so grateful.
I realize that without you my life would end. I realize that without you, I could not have experienced the paragliding flight, or SCUBA diving with the turtles, or the Zion hikes, or hugging my sister, or dancing. I am so sorry I treated you the way I did for so long. I am sorry I yell at you and call you names. I am so sorry I never show you unconditional love. Ever. You deserve better from me.
I am not going to make a new year's resolution. I am not going to make any stupid promises about losing weight or dieting. I am going to stop putting you through that. What I am going to do is start taking great care of you - starting TODAY. You are part of me and you matter.
I will take responsibility for what I have been making excuses for. I will choose radically healthy foods even when I don't feel like it. I promise to work on the right things so that my compulsions to eat poorly and to skip exercise are finally healed. I will stop taking you for granted then abusing you with judgment and criticism.
I am going to finally love you, my body, and I am going to show you my love by how I treat you. You'll see. I believe I can stop being cruel and neglectful to you and start being supporting, encouraging, and loving. You deserve it and I'm sorry it took me all this time to see that it wasn't you that did this to me, but it was me that did this to you.
You house my heart, you hold my soul. I am going to start acting like it.
Love Always,
Sue

Client Corner
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Thank you for your words of encouragement and the reality check I get every Monday. You are my weekly 'Jiminy Cricket'!"
"My arms and shoulders feel great! That was just the workout I needed - feeling strong!"
"Four of us in the office are doing a weight loss/healthy living thing. I actually weighed in and told them my weight. I think being accountable to them will be more serious than just to a weight watchers person!"
"This is a really good newsletter and it spoke to me. I remember when I was in therapy years ago, my counselor would always tell me that I had to take care of the little girl inside me; protect her and keep her safe. It has helped me for many years, but I never thought of it in terms of my body; only my emotions."
"That was way better than buying Marianne [Williamson's] book for every woman you know...amazing."
"Thank you... when I look in the mirror anymore it makes me so upset. I've been putting myself down, NO, bullying myself as you would say. Then I read your newsletter and you said even if it's your eyes. Do you know that is the one thing that I always thought I had going for me...then I thought about my age "47" and not having many wrinkles. So yes, I can tell myself daily that my I love my young looking eyes :) Maybe if I start that, I can begin to look at other parts of my body in a good way. I swear you always seem to know just what's going on this head of mine!!"
"Nice newsletter!" |
