Rx 500

All smiles today.  Smiling from my liver, like Liz Gilbert in “Eat Pray Love”.

I’ve shifted gears.  No wait, actually I think I’m in a totally different car.

You may wonder how this happened.  Well, it’s hard to describe but I’ll try:

First of all, I learned how to feel the shitty.  All feelings are equal and want to be felt.  I learned how to love myself unconditionally even when I wasn’t super enthousiastic or inspired.  One of my coaching friends gave me a presription for how to feel unconditional love.  It’s called “the 500″.  Approximately 500 times a day, I repeat to myself “I approve of me”.  I’ve been doing this for about 2 weeks, and the difference is monumental.  I can look myself in the eye, or look at my naked body, and say “I approve of me.”  At first I didn’t mean it.  And that made me angry to say it.  But I stuck with it, and each day I felt my spirit lifting ever so slightly.
