If you want to feel a certain way, feel it now.

Breathe in a smile; breathe out a chuckle. (You can do it.)

When we make decisions, about eating or anything else, with an attitude of kindness and acceptance toward ourselves, with awareness of what is involved in our choices, the conflict between deprivation and indulgence ceases to exist.

Fear forces us to spend our lives dealing with it, ostensibly to overcome it. But that is a trick. Only fear (the illusion of separation) would want us to work to be unafraid, precisely because it is not possible for a separate self to be unafraid!

It doesn't matter what did or did not happen then. It only matters what happens NOW.

When you stop comparing what is right here and now with what you wish were, you can begin to enjoy what is.

A person who is without fear cannot be controlled.
