When you are thinking, saying or doing
things that are unhealthy or
unproductive, you must do more than
know. There must be genuine,
loving support for the "self" to make a
change. Change does not mean
beating up on yourself or feeling guilty
or ashamed. Change means
voluntarily removing yourself from the
people and environment that support you
in remaining unhealthy. Change
means identifying what you are doing,
recognizing when you are doing it and
gently guiding yourself to do something
else. Change means not making
excuses for yourself, but doing exactly
what you say you will do. When you
support yourself in making needed
changes, you are supporting your own
growth. Growth is the commitment
to being, doing and having the best.
