If you experience a health challenge, life
is inviting you to love yourself.
Good
health is about connection: to ourselves and our bodies, to nature, and to
other people. And the most important step you can take to build your connection
is establish a relationship with yourself.
Illness
is an invitation to change your relationship with yourself for the better.
What
message are you giving to your cells right now? If you believe that you are a
bad person, your cells are listening. If you believe that you are sick, your
cells are listening. Likewise, if you believe that you are a beautiful being
worthy of love and that you are healthy, your cells are listening.
When
you love yourself, you take care of your own needs.
The
real health epidemic is a disconnection from self.
In
order to push through things you don’t really want to do, you often have to
disconnect from yourself, your inner child, or your inner guidance in some way.
When
your body feels safe, it can heal. Just remember that your body wants to heal.
Reconnection
to self is also about reconnecting with others – finding your tribe, your
community of like-minded, supportive people.
Change
is one of the greatest teachers. It scares us and asks us to reach deep inside
ourselves for courage we didn’t even know we had.
Health
starts with how you think and ends with how you feel.
We
don’t go wrong when we live in the modern world. We go wrong when we let the
speed, convenience, and fears of the modern world disconnect us from our
bodies.
Physical
symptoms are the body’s way of talking to you.
Part
of listening to yourself means having the courage to commit to yourself.
