There's no such thing as a 'stressful' situation.

To understand ourself, we must understand our "selves," or the parts of us that motivate our thoughts, decisions, and behaviors.

Selfish is caring for ourselves at others' expense ... Self-care is taking care of ourselves so that we can be there for others.

Worry, shame, and fear can't be the energy with which we deal with food and weight. It only spurs us to eat more food and produce more glucose/sugar which gets stored as fat.

You can't use stress, anxiety, frustration, and worry to deal with your stress, anxiety, frustration, and worry. It's like pulling up to a burning building with a flame thrower. The energy of the problem can't be the energy behind a successful solution.

Holding on to painful images of the past in order to avoid painful experiences in the future serves only to color the present with pain.

When our purpose becomes avoidance, our life becomes a void.
