The work I do to let go of my suffering diminishes the suffering of the whole universe. When I have room for my own pain, I have room for the pain of others. Only then can I be transformed into joy. As I heal, the Earth heals.
Christiane NorthrupLearning to love yourself should not become a life-long challenge that most of us never meet.
Christiane NorthrupThe inability to love and accept yourself and your humanity is at the heart of many illnesses. To be loved and accepted, you must start by loving yourself. If you have traits that you consider unlovable, you must love them anyway... it's a paradox.
Christiane NorthrupThe more you move toward what makes you feel good, and move away from those things which bring you distress and pain, the healthier you will be.
Christiane NorthrupNo matter what youโre feeling, the only way to get a difficult feeling to go away is simply to love yourself for it. If you think youโre stupid, then love yourself for feeling that way. Itโs a paradox, but it works. To heal, you must be the first one to shine the light of compassion on any areas within you that you feel are unacceptable.
