Quote: "The way I define happiness is being the creator of your experience, choosing to take pleasure in what you have, right now, regardless of the circumstances, while being the best you
that you can be." --- Leo Babauta Oh yes: a link to the image or you can copy and paste the url into your browser. This week's "Something Extra" : I Am Worthy - by Miles Patrick Yohnke Like the magical transformation of the caterpillar to the butterfly, one's own self can be transformed into a state of health and worthiness. There was a woman in
her twenties who was getting married in eight months. She was overweight (she had been overweight most of her life). She wanted to lose the weight and look her very best for her groom and their special day. She started attending a gym. In the first month she lost fifteen pounds and then she quit going. Why? Why did she quit? Perhaps she thought she wasn't worthy or entitled to look like those other fit people. I'm an overweight person, I'm not entitled to be slim, to be pretty, may have been playing over and over in her mind; a lot of negative self-talk. We will often make excuses or do everything possible to sabotage our own lives. Where does this
dysfunctional thought-pattern come from? Have a wonderful
