- The most
important relationship we have is the relationship we
have with our 'self'.
-
We cannot begin to have
healthy relationships with others until we develop a
positive relationship with our 'self'.

"It
is surprising how many of us go through life not
liking ourselves and not liking our
bodies.
|
- There are many things we cannot
change about ourselves, for example, if you are born with
certain physical characteristics there is little you can
do about this, however what we can do is to recognize
that whilst there are some things we cannot change due to
our genetic makeup, the parents and situations we were
born into THERE IS MUCH we can change in the attitude we
have to ourselves AND WE CAN begin to develop an
accepting, nurturing and positive relationship with
ourselves.
- Do you ever think your body in a
negative context.....maybe because it does not look or
function the way you would like, or it causes you pain or
discomfort. This 'war' you have with your body is the
greatest of tragedies...as in reality your body is the
only body you are ever going to have and for you to stay
in a negative relationship with your body (yourself)
means you stop yourself from experiencing pleasure,
comfort and joy, feelings which enable you to KNOW a
sense of wellbeing in your life.
-
- Your
emotional wellbeing is intrinsically linked
to your relationship with your
body.
(I
have yet to meet a person who suffers from poor
self esteem who says that they like their
body)
