Awareness is learning to keep yourself company

Ask: is what I'm doing and thinking right now bringing me closer to myself or farther away? Opening my heart or closing it? You have a choice.

Your relationship to food, no matter how conflicted, is the doorway to freedom.

It's not life in the present moment that is intolerable; the pain we are avoiding has already happened. We are living in reverse.

It's the nature of hearts to break. It's in their job description. When a heart is doing what it's supposed to be doing, it holds nothing back. And sometimes it gets broken.

No act of love is ever wasted.

Awareness is a way you keep yourself company. When you are aware you are being compulsive, you are no longer locked in the behavior. You have a choice to stop. That choice--and therefore awareness itself--is freedom.
