Geneen Roth: Piece of the Universe

Your body is the piece of the universe you’ve been given, the place where love and joy and grief happen, where happiness unfolds. Do you really want to keep believing that it’s a horrible, ugly, lumpy thing? Do you really want to keep punching yourself like that?
― Geneen Roth

Awareness is learning to keep yourself company.
― Geneen Roth

You are not a mistake. You are not a problem to be solved. It's possible to treat yourself with outrageous kindness beginning today.
― Geneen Roth

When you don't want to be where you are, you create suffering for yourself. Change happens through acceptance, kindness and relaxation--not resistance, not warfare, not fights.
