"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."
~ Carl R.
Rogers
So true and beautifully said.
I appreciate this reminder and I hope you find it helpful too.
As we enter the holiday season, we may find ourselves wanting to change aspects of our bodies, habits, and circumstances in many areas of our lives. With the power of sweet compassion, may we embrace exactly who and what we are right now and release
self-criticism.
With loving hugs for me and you,
Charlene
