I can never get enough of this stuff. I don’t have time to add some of my own thoughts right now, but I can’t let this one pass without passing it on: it’s always helpful to accept yourself, especially when it comes to dealing with your physical self. We live in a society that has created multiple multi-billion dollar industries about making us unhappy with ourselves. Am I thin enough, fit enough (not the same thing!!!), hip enough, etc. enough? I always come back to a line that I originally heard was from the radical psychiatrist, R.D. Laing, but later heard had originated with Krishnamurti: To be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society is a dubious achievement.
Great post!
Thank you!
